New from Genoa City, WI

My name is Christene and I'm new to the investing market. I am in education, but was in real estate for a couple of years. My location is great as I'm right in the middle of several large metropolitan areas: Chicago, Milwaukee, and Madison. I'm very interested in learning from others. In education, I had mentors that helped me climb the ranks and I'm well aware of the value of a mentor. So, right now, I'm looking to find a mentor, learn all I can and have a particular interest in wholesaling, tax delinquent properties and mobile home properties (Warren Buffett is brilliant)!).

I'm a single mom of two, so doing things right the first time is uber important to me as I can't afford to lose because of errors.

My goal is to work my full time job for one more full year and then to work real estate investing full time. I have a lot to learn, have a lot of questions, but, I'm hard working, positive and determined....I will reach my goal!!

Thanks and I look forward to connecting!

Christene

It is lofty, but in my profession, that actually gives me approximately 18 mos. my expenses are relatively low, so I don't need to replace my entire salary right away. My son is severely disabled and I need to be in a position to care for him, so I have high motivation. I hope to close two tax delinquent property deals in 6 months to put some cash in the bank. In the meantime, I hope to be able to have two wholesale deals per month in 8-10 months. If I have to continue working, I will as I love what I do, but I have to set some strong goals to ensure I'm on track to do what I need for my children. I've met loftier goals in my life....if I invest in myself, I believe I can achieve it in a reasonable amount of time...hope that makes sense.
