I spend a lot of time up front meeting and getting to know every person I agree to work with.

I ended up countering by giving a financing ceiling for the total $$ I could spend rather then dictating the terms I wanted.

Whereas, in your FIRST deal, spending $30k, plus $25k on rehabbing, gave it an appraisal of $74,500.

If you do you will be spending hundreds of dollars every weekend on some sort of seminar from all kinds of people.

To get a true understanding I suggest spending time researching on this site and listening to the podcasts.

Go find leads and do not spend a ton of money doing it.Find leads, get their biz, close the deal.Leads, leads, leads

My wife and I are completely motivated by being able to spend as much time as we can with our daughter.
