Your defiantly on the right track to invest your money in real estate.

However, I still need to track costs and P&L.

Ha.I think you are on a great track for investing!

I am looking to fast track this process since I am currently not working and my hubby will no longer be employed after June 1st.  

Aaron you might be on the right track on just getting two memberships.

i know this sounds pathetic but I need to get out there.I've done a ton of busy work and i do not believe i can get any more prepared to start than where i am now.I've been to webinairs and find myself answering other people questions.I've listen to countless you tube how to videos and find myself hear the same thing. even saying what they were going to say before they said it. i got yellow templates saved, i got seller scripts saved, i many different business card designs saved, i have a web site designed saved. the list goes on and on.What i need to do is start picking up the phone and make some phone calls.to like: calling realtors and get to know the hot spot marketsgo to a reia meeting instead of keeping track of when they are.network with others in my areastart looking for real property (not sample property to practice on) and runing the numbersdirect mailgetting on that phone.it's just frustrating and i have no one to be frustrated at but myself.has anyone gone through this phase?

I dont have a proven track record where I could make that pitch to families.

Buy #2 and get it stable and when you find #3 look for the financing with some track record behind you.  

I don't think the state really has the means to track down folks that die intestate ..

I keep track of every dime I spend and make in Quickbooks, and my "pigs" are all cash flowing fairly well  except one where we had a sewer disaster and had to spend $3k for excavation.
