There was a shooting here in College Station, TX today...just one block off the campus of Texas A&M University...all because the shooter was about to be evicted from his home. He shot the constable and several others. Three people have died, including the shooter himself. If he only knew or realized that he had other options...all the more reason to get going in REI so as to inform people that, yes, there are other options open to them. So sad, never thought something like this could happen in this town.

I joined the Success Academy today...so excited because now I get the coaching I so desperately need! My first goal is to make $5,000 on an assignment and I've set the goal date for June 30th.

I finally put an ad on Craigslist today for buyers and as soon as it was posted I got a call from a local investor/wholesaler. I asked him all the questions from the "Buyers Profile Interview" sheet and he gave me the answers I needed! The only question I didn't get to was "How many deals can you handle a month?", but I'm proud of myself for getting the info. I did get! Moving forward...

I found a REI group online and they are having 3 men speak about wholesaling. This is in Houston (which is an hour and a half away) in April so I def. plan on attending since wholesaling is what I'm going to do. I have 10 bandit signs made but need to make more before I put them out. Will get on Craig's List today and make my ad. I've sent an email to my family members telling them what I'm doing...this was probably the hardest thing I've done so far because I fear they will think I'm crazy...but I've already heard back from one sister and it was very encouraging, thank goodness!

I spoke with my niece who works for Coldwell Banker and she would be glad to work with me. I'm going to her office today to get the list of cash buyers in the last 90 days. So excited!!!!

Hi. I'm a newbie and want to do assignments in Texas (where I live). I'm ready to contact real estate agents now after reading 30 Days to Real Estate Cash and have a question: is it better to call ReMax or Keller Williams and talk to the agents or should I do it like Matt suggests and send faxes to all the local real estate companies and have the agents that are hungry come to me?

Also, when the agent asks how am I going to finance, what exactly do I say?

I have a sister-in-law who is a real estate agent but she is not with Remax or Keller Williams. Should I try and work with her?

Feel free to PM me. Thanks in advance!
