Columbus, OH Wholesale & Investor Newbie!

Hello BP! My name is Glenay Coleman, I live in Columbus, OH and I am building my business to be financially free! I want to become an educated, well rounded wholesaler and investor. I understand that while my job is stable and I make "decent" money as a single mom, what am I truly working for? I'm developing someone else's dream and NOT minding my own business. I'm on track to climb and hit 6 figures by 30 (2 years for me). It isn't what I want anymore, I want assets - I want long term growth and wealth.  I made a vow that I would keep my current career for now and use the next (x amount) of months or YEARS to develop my financial literacy and come up with a plan to get out of corporate down the road.

I am going to set alarms and mail my marketing WEEKLY no matter what. I am currently researching most effective strategies when creating yellow letters to test my effectiveness so I'm not wasting money. I've purchased my list from list source of 600 solid leads (Absentee, 50%(+) equity, 10+ year deed, target zip code here Columbus that I from an investor for a good growing area).

I am building my circle of success. Because my income minus bills is all I have as far income to grow my business, I will have to do wholesaling to save some money for my first flip and it will give me insight on FINDING a deal others missed. I have identified an attorney to help me with wholesales, but I still need to find an inspector to help me out.

With the help of BP, reading and reading some more. I think I am on my way! I have joined few REIA investor groups and will be attending meetings consistently. Any other advice would be great!
