OfflineI'm thrilled and terrified. Do I have the time to do this? Do I have the intelligence to understand? I've risked and lost and I'm getting back up again. I'm tired of living in the Matrix, it's time to live outside the machine. I believe in endless possibilities and that good intentions and deeds count. I have no idea how, but I have the willingness to succeed and share it with others. With that step I begin my adventures...

I work as a property manager for an apartment complex, I am a graphic artist/designer who has run my own business for 28 years, I am an ItWorks! Distrbutor, and now I am getting into this Real Estate Investing, which I had done a little of about 15 years ago when I lived in the Northern Va./Washington, DC area. But now I am in a little town in Western Oklahoma and it is a whole new ball game. I went through a terrible divorce 6 years ago which took everything from me but literally the clothes on back. I lost my 4 homes, my four children, and my 3 businesses, and every material possiession I every owned. My ex disappeared with my four children who were then 2, 5, 7 and 12, and I never knew what happened to any of them. The depression nearly killed me for the first 3 years. I am determined to get back all I had worked for my whole life and then some, and my motivation is to be able to afford to find my children, start over in life, and take my ex to court for the illegal things he did to me. So I have a strong motivator. I've never been one to give up.
So I am interested in any advice anyone can offer me. I need to figure out the best ways to find buyers and sellers, and how to finance these deals. I know it can be done, and I know I will be successful at it. For me, there is no alternative. I don't believe God blessed me with those beautiful children, whom I homeschooled for 12 years, only to lose them and never see them again.I will get back on top!
