The Slow Slow and Even Slower Progress -- Episode 3

Progress this week has been slow.  I still delayed what I really wanted to do because of other things going on in life, but mostly it was because of procrastination.  My driving for dollars trip never took place.  The errands I made up for myself, while necessary could have fit in along with my goal for the week.

However, I didn’t fail completely.  During the week I attended two networking events held by my REIA and met a few folks.  It was very educational and I feel as though I’m slowly getting a feel for who’s a real investor and who isn’t.  At the very least I’m starting to recognize a few faces.  I also completed a majority of my one page business plan.  I will have to keep refining it over time, but it gives me a very good idea on what to work on next.

In regards to that topic, one more week and I will be starting the RE license class.  Still not sure if I will follow through and take my RE license but I don’t have to decide on that now.  My next big thing will be focusing on my finance and start talking to a few lenders.No clue on how to start but I think I will figure it out.

Once financing is figured out, I honestly don’t have much left but to pick out properties and start looking for deals.  The hardest part will be figuring out what is a deal in the neighborhoods I want to invest in.  Think I might start with that famous recommendation and go look at one hundred properties before I even buy my first.

So there you have it.  Sorry for the short post.  Not much of an update.  Noticeable podcast of the week would be episode #14 with Ben Leybovich.  http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2013/04/18/cash-flow-creative-finance-life-ben-leybovich/

Such an amazing story.  If you haven't listen to it, you really should.  That’s all folks.  Peace.
