Check with a mortgage person to mak e sure this is okay.

This lead me to read books like Think and Grow Rich, E-myth, Rich Dad Poor Dad, 4 Hour Work Week, Building Wealth One House at a Time, ABC's of REI, and other books listed here on BP.It changed the way I saw being successful and being wealthy.

Hey everybody,For the last dozen years I've been working in eCommerce in Los Angeles, but am finally scratching the itch to get into real estate.  

I met my mentor at the local chamber of commerce (I'm in a semi-rural/semi-urban area) - the Seattle SCORE office has their own building, it's a much larger organization and aligned with several other like orgs.

Read E-Myth and Mike says... never do management by abdication aka don't outsource the important part in your business that you don't understand or never done.

They also convinced me to get the audiobooks of Rich Dad Poor Dad and the E Myth, both of which were great.

Hey @Roy E Paul thanks for introducing yourself!

I get everything but I can't monitor a topic  when I hit the monitor but that works but I never get e mail alerts. so that's a major problem and it really cuts down on the amount of interaction I can have with BP right now.. ( not that anyone really probably cares but it would be nice to get back to full utilization)
