Newby steps, off the cliff!!!

This is my first blog entry, anywhere! I've started, and subsquently stopped, various investment ventures. However, I've become more serious with real estate as a result of the pressure that I'm experincing as a wage earner.

If I don't utilize the tools that I have available to me now, I'm sunk. I've started using Dean's [Graziosi] Rock Bottom Blue Print program. It's a good think that I've started, now! The proverial hand writing is on the wall. A new company has entered into contract services at the facility that I work at. And, they are vowing cut backs. I'm already bleeding to death, like I need to be hacked up some more.

Well, so far, I have a meeting to the Richmond REIA to attend tonight. That should help me to start filling up my buyer's bucket. And, I have a real estate attorney on board. Finally, I was contacted by a go-getter of a real estate agent. He sent me a list of 34 listings for sale. Initially, I thought that it was just a retail property list, that is until I reviewed the tax assessment values and the comps. It looks like the seller bucket is gonna have a property or two for my buyers to consider soon.

I can do this, I gotta do this. I'll post my progress weekly. Any words of advise, or encouragement are deeply appreciated and welcomed.
