Looking For Help On Our First Deal

[Phil Strickland]

My partner and I sat in on our first Phoenix REIA meeting on Monday and it was a huge eye opener, we can't wait for the next one.

We initially planned to do fix and flips but after hearing Alan present the market update for the Phoenix / Maricopa County area, we really see the potential in helping home owners avoid foreclosure.

We are already teamed up with a Marketing company to print flyers "we buy houses" etc., (no bandit signs) which we'll direct mail and we're also possibly considering yellow letters.

This message might be a little early but I felt the need to line up a mentor now who is willing to work with us on the first deal or two until we get the whole process down.

If anyone with experience in the Phoenix market has time to do this, please feel free to contact me!

Thanks!

Phil

Ours is a business characterized by hype, hope & dreams.  Many people come thru hoping for a "get rich quick" scheme.  But soon they find out this is a REAL business requiring REAL investment plus some degree of expertise in real estate!

I often say there is an "imaginary" world of REI and a "real" world. The real one is where money is made by investors.  In the imaginary world, only the gurus make money - the "investors" rarely buy a single house.  By seeking top quality information from people who are not trying to sell you something (like J Scott), you'll get knowledge and a plan for how to start and grow a REAL real estate business.  Your determination is your greatest asset at the beginning.  Wish you the best!
