I am not sure where to start. I am having a hard time getting started. I have started building my cash buyers list. I'm not sure how to get the numbers of these cash buyers.
I know little about computers. So I went out and purchased the Dragon software to make things easier. And this is more difficult than I imagined. Learning all the new commands, phrases and different ways to operate this software.
I guess I can document the time leading up to this decision.
I have been a rough in carpenter for 25 years roughly. The housing market dropped off, so I was forced to do something I wasn't comfortable with. Building restoration was my New field. I was setting up a stage, I was lowering my steel cable from the roof to the ground when I came in contact with a high-powered line. Three years later I received a settlement for that injury. Roughly 30 days later I received yet another crippling blow. This injury cost me my right arm temporarily. I'm not sure how long it will take me to recover I have about 10% usage in the arm now.
My girlfriend and I decide to move to Colorado. We were having rough times adjusting to changes. I was having a really rough time with not being able to use my right arm. Sitting in a hotel room alone I seen the infomercial that was good to change my life.
Success in real estate. This was my new window for a new life.
This investment was the best investment I ever made because it's the only thing I have left.
My girlfriend seen that the money was getting low so she encouraged me to buy her a new vehicle. So two hours after we have bought the vehicle tagged and insured it . She informed me that it was over and she was gone back to Missouri. A week later I followed because I had $66 in the checking account.
Here I sit back in Kansas City, sitting in my sons apartment in a spare bedroom which I call home now. It can only get better from here the only way is up.
Hi again
Well, you have taken some steps in changing your life. If you put in the time and effort it will make a difference. No matter what your age, your financial situation or your gender you can change your life with real estate investing.
Dean and his programs do work. They are simple but not easy. If you follow the steps you will have success. It doesn't necessarily happen overnight but it can happen quicker than you think.
I believe there is a free download of Dean's book "Totally Fulfilled" that is available on this site. I highly recommend it as it helps with discovering yourself, how you think and why and gives concrete ways of helping you make changes that you want to make.
I am not saying you are not motivated, I believe everyone here has motivation but we all have moments when we get down or frustrated and when we don't have outside support or very little support and it makes it more difficult to get out of the slump. This book will help with that. Mindset is essential to not only this business but everything in your life.
I also recommend that you visit this site often. There is a lot of very valuable information that will make your Real Estate journey so much easier and the people on this site are truly amazing at being willing and able to help especially when they see that you are sincere and are putting in the effort to make real change in your life. I check in here daily and it sure is great to know that there is always one place I can go where I know I will find kindness, motivation and real help if I need it. Be sure to check in every Monday for Dean's Weekly Wisdoms they are truly inspiring!
Another of Dean's books that I would recommend is 30 Days to Real Estate Cash. It really is a blueprint, giving you step by step instructions on how to make your first deal.
Best of luck in all your endeavors and congratulations on taking your first steps!
warmest regards,
Lisa Richardson
