Hello Everyone;
Ray E. here...Just came across the site earlier today and thought I'd sign up and say hi.
I'm new to the REI industry and am excited about the possibilities. I've been reading a lot about REI on another pretty good web site and thought I'd branch out and see what other sites are out there that get a pretty good audience.
I've purchased two courses regarding REI over the last year, one focusing on Wholesaling and the other on how to do short sales. Was impressed with the individuals whose courses I purchased and think they provide the honest, no-frills approach to REI.
I'm currently living the suburbs of Sacramento, CA, but have plans on moving to Las Vegas if not around the 1st of 2009...a little bit sooner.
Well, not really sure what else to say, so I'll wrap this little introduction up.
Welcome to BP Ray!!! You are my neighbor... ;-). Well, we are the North East folks and I live in Concord. Hope you get to find as much information as possible about REI here. This is indeed an asset for your REI education. GOOD LUCK!!!
Ray, Welcome to Bigger Pockets! Are yuou planning to invest where you are in Sacto, sell then move to Las Vegas, or stay in your education mode until you can invest in LV? Good luck, Mike
Jason: Yes, I'm primarily moving to Vegas for investment reasons. Hopefully I can persuade my friend to join me in investing, but if not, no big deal...he can roll out of bed to go to work...as I roll over! LOL!
Mike: I'm currently getting things organized here where I'm at in hopes of being able to get a property under contract via an option, and then sell the option to either another investor or an actual end buyer and then take the profits from that and move to Vegas, so I can have a few months of living expenses covered until I get going over in Vegas.
I've got a few questions that I'm going to need to ask, but I'll save that for another post! ;-)
Again, thanks for the welcome! I've now got two (2) great sites I'll be visiting often to further my REI education.
Ray,
I will respectfully say that your comment about rolling over in bed while your friend goes to work may not be as accurate as you think. REI can be very hard work, if you want to be successful. Alot of the gurus act like you can effortlessly rake in piles of cash, using their secret forlmulas :roll: but in reality it takes time and especially persistence to make it big. Good luck! Mike

Mike:
I'm certainly aware that REI is hard work and that nothing is going to come easy...However, once my 'funnel/hopper' is full and I'm closing deals at a fairly good rate, then and only then, will my comment about 'rolling over' actually be funny...and yet still true...
Guess I should have held back from trying to be funny until a later date/time. :lol:
My apologies if I insinuated that REI was/is 'easy' for the average investor.
