Good luck and please keep us posted on your journey! 

I have been listening to the podcast and reading about it for almost a year now, and I am now financially and mentally ready to start my journey. 

Cash is king as @Remington Lyman said and I used a heloc to start my real estate journey.

I a new investor the only real estate i own is my primary residence and i have a studio apartment that i made attached to the home and my parents live there which they are paying me rent to live there so i guess technically i am a landlord (lol) about 2 months ago me and my family have decided we are going to leave sunny south Florida and move to western Massachusetts to start our journey in investing on long term single/multifamily rentals primarily using the BRRRR method as our vehicle to reach our goal of financial freedom !! 

NO damn it, you made the deal because you (luckily) reached a motivated seller.The method how you reach them does not matter  in the sense you are applying this.Yes if the government sends bills using a yellow card and people in your town are used to yellow cards means you got a bill, of course do not send out yellow cards as your DMM piece.But apart from that obviousness, it is not the "text" or the "voice" that inherently works better.It all comes down to yhe list. to whom you are sending your message to.Everyone keeps thinking that there is a magic delivery method that gets you better results.People think!!!

Another deal I lost by a last minute “blind” bid that was magically $100 more than my offer.

You want to, and here’s the magic word that marks out many stupid choices when it comes to 100-year-old properties, RESTORE it.You can use the same wet technique with the razor scraper mounted on a pole that I mentioned to handle a popcorn ceiling that’s been painted with one coat of paint.

My wife and I are beginning our real estate investment journey.

Myself and four of my friends are looking to go on this journey together (also using their own salary as to cash flow to build our collective portfolio)As are all fairly new, we have a few questions like:Should we incorporate ?

Perhaps Indiana or wherever this journey leads.I have personal obstacles and issues to overcome that I'm sure will make things more difficult for me opposed to others, but I have overcome many things in my life and am not afraid of hardship and sacrifice.
