Cold calling, door knocking, spending money on marketing, networking events, setting appointments, educating yourself, mastering scripts, being organized, working 60+ hours until you can hire a buyer's agent or assistant, mastering your area of focus, is just some of what you have to be ready for to be successful.

I have begun working with a client who has upwards of 70+ seller financed mortgages from over the years and has asked me to help organize and track them. 

As you begin the drying process, you may inadvertently cause the mold to "bloom" and become active as you lower the water activity levels.The musty mold odor you are familiar with and do not smell in this basement is known as "MVOC" or microbial volatile organic compounds.

A colleague of mine recommended organized property tours that depart from Manhattan and venture to various towns on day trips showing various properties for sale.

I just recently attended a 3-day real estate investment session provided through Scott Yancey's organization.

My husband is a volunteer firefighter, hoping to get on full time, and we love the idea of having the free time for real estate investing too.

I have repeatedly listened to/watched/taken notes on about about 13 hours of Chris Goff home study/webinar content/training on lease options, SLO, wholesaling, marketing, and seller financing that comes with his CRM/REI software and it has really helped me get organized in terms of steps from beginning to end of a deal, from lead generation, contacting the owner, seller screening, inspection/due diligence, offers, contracts (I have had mine to date reviewed by a local attorney here in MD and plan to continue to do so and have local counseling as I move along), affidavits, closings, and getting paid.

My biggest strength is the ability to negotiate effectively, not so much with organizing data so for the analytical (or very busy) types feel free to reach out to me and maybe we can make some things happen.
