Update on what I've been up to

Folks,

How ya'll doin'?  I'm hangin' in there... Just would like to post a few things I have learned thus far (in particular for newbies):

 1) RESEARCH!!!  (If you plan on working for yourself, you need to do exactly that, hit the net, get FREE info FIRST!!!  I read on several websites that it would take me forever to learn how to accomplish my goals in real estate UNLESS I buy their material... I'm not saying their material is no good, I'm just encouraging you to first try and research on your own as much as you can BEFORE you buy anything, the internet is overwhelming with info, especially HERE!!!  It's a GOLD MINE!!!)

2) TIME IS MONEY (Are you wasting idle time?)  I have to think about this when ever I am about to do something that might not be so productive towards my future (this does not include the GYM!!! for me it's productive, however, I have refrained from getting wrapped up in watching reality shows... unless I am making money from them... which I am not :(  BUT You need to take care of your HEALTH!!!  Try to balance everything out

3) WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU WANT TO DO?  (This is really for newbies)  Research about and write out your business plan BEFORE asking for a mentor... (I made a post about wanting a mentor BEFORE I researched on the topic)... and geeez did I learn alot!!!  So I retracted my post in order to research more... And you can learn a WHOLE LOT HERE!!!

4) NO QUESTION IS A DUMB QUESTION... If you have a question you are not certain about first attempt to research it... (on here if you'd like, or where ever) but ASK IT!!!  You will be surprised at the responses you'll get... You are just not familiar with certain situations, so ask... how will you know if you don't ask? :)  Then make it happen for yourself!!!  Do NOT give up!!!  There are things that we don't want to do but are RIGHT to do, and financial independence is one of those things....

Thank you for your attention folks!  All the best!!!  Michelle

  2. Hey, I am really inspired by your blog posts. You are actually in my area, I would love to touch base with you and get more information, maybe possibly partner up on some deals. I actually have a few cashflow properties that I am looking to flip. Please contact me I am really looking to build a strong network of people with a passion for this business as well.
