Hi, James!!

Congratulations on thinking "outside the box"!!!  Most people in your situation wouldn't even be inquisitive about how to start!!!

Of course, there IS a way!!!!!  So, please stay focused on your GOAL, and continue being open to new ideas...  and the answer to "HOW" will find YOU!

Here are a few of my recommendations that might help you:

--- find local REIA groups, and attend all of their meetings. Be open and friendly, offer business cards, etc., but MOST IMPORTANTLY - - - - - - LISTEN!!! You can pick up on some VERY helpful information in these groups!

--- see if there are any BP "hookups" or gatherings or meetings in your area.  If so, DO NOT MISS ANY OF THEM!!!  Attend, and do the same as above!

--- take advantage of all the BP education available:  read & listen to everything!

During all of this, you will be learning more than I can describe here.  In addition, you will be spending time with people that ARE DOING IT, so LISTEN to THEIR conversations!  Plus, you may run across someone who is looking for someone LIKE YOU!!!  Someone who is interested, eager, motivated, and wanting to learn!!!!!!  They might be a great avenue for you to learn from (while earning from)!  Be alert & smart about it -- and always check back here with BP with questions!!!

Best wishes to you!

Cheryl
