Aw shucks, thanks Will

Update:

I have continued reading and posting here. Currently reading a book by @Wendy Patton about lease options and subject to's.

Attended my first REIA meeting last week. I met alot of interesting people including fellow BPers Justin Silverio and Ann Bellamy. Justin told me about a couple of podcasts - flip2freedom and flip guys. I've started to listen them. Meeting up with Justin this week to pick his brain. I still plan to start marketing at the end of March or sooner (you guys can help keep me accountable!), perhaps for Justin :)

Other to do's:

Hope to meet up with local BPer Paul Donoghue in the near future.

There are multiple REIA's in my area and I plan to check a few of them out over the next couple of weeks.

Need to find a good attorney to ask about wholesale purchase contracts and whether double closings or assignments are preferred in my state. I also need to ask about any ethics issues since I am an appraiser.

Plan to go to Lowe's and fill out Will Barnard cost sheet (http://www.biggerpockets.com/files/user/BarnardINC) this coming weekend so I can start to get a feel for how much rehab costs are.

Also, I am closing on a refi on my house on Tuesday... as soon as that is finished I plan to get a HELOC so I have some funds in case any good opportunities come up.

Finally, I have been an active member in a local Toastmasters club. It is a great group to practice public speaking. I highly recommend it for introverts like myself. I've noticed I feel much more comfortable in networking meetings since I have started doing this.

So there you go! I think I am doing things right so far. What do you think?

Look forward to it!

Everybody needs a place to live. The population is growing and there is a limited supply of dirt on this earth. With fixed supply and growing demand there will always be opportunity. Some years are better than others but the best always make money.

Welcome John! Yes, plenty of info. for us newbies and also alot of generous experienced people here to answer our questions!

I started looking into this but I've read some discouraging things about the SAFE act... I thought Lonnie Deals were illegal now?

John Fedro I listened to your BP summit lecture and I guess what I've read is wrong since you are still doing it... could you comment on the SAFE act?

Also, does you know anyone doing this in Massachusetts?

Thanks,
Sean

I look forward to the day when I stop asking stupid questions :)
