OfflineI just want to write how exited I am about going to the live 3 day real estate investing workshop in Michigan City, IN tomorrow. I am going to bed now, so that I get up and get going in the morning. I will get on again tomorrow night to write about the workshop

I posted an add for buyers on Craig's List. I didn't get any answers, so I am going to try a new one tonight and just re-post it every day. I spent the day making up flyer's to put up in stores and laundromats. I am going to spend the day tomorrow doing that. I have flyer 's made up, so that I can walk around where I live and put them out in peoples driveways.
I know that I will be able to focus on Wholesaling once I get someone to respond to my ads
I know that I have been away for a while. When I moved to WI, I didn't know how hard it would be to help my son. Jim, my 23 year old son, it a Heroin addict. I moved here so that I could try to get him help within a detox center. Heroin is so widespread here in Madison, that it takes a month to see a doctor who can refer him to 1. a detox center 2. get him on Suboxon, a drug that blocks Heroin, so it stops the urge to use the drug. Every time Newstart, the program that I was working with, told us how long it would take to see a doctor, Jim got angry and would go shoot up. In June, thing escalated to the point that Jim was arrested for numerous retail thefts and is in jail. His lawyer is trying to get most of these charges dropped, so he won't face any prison time.
I have been going through the guilt of what did I do wrong, when I was looking through a catalog the I get in the mail, and saw a DVD that Bill Moyer produced. It is about son's drug and alcohol addiction. I don't know if he is clean, so I am going to get the DVD.
This week I have been focusing on getting my apartment cleaned up; washing windows, floors, walls etc. When I am finished, I will be able to focus on getting back into my REI, which should be Monday. I finished my office yesterday and when I log off here I will be tackling my kitchen. I want my apartment to feel like I just moved in, so I will feel good when I wake up.
I will sign in over the weekend to list what my plans are for the following week.

Since I was on last, I have had to move twice. That is three times in a period of 22 months. I am now living near Wausau, WI and I love it here. I am renting a duplex and it is just wonderful. Two bedroom, two whole baths, and a full basement. I feel very lucky that I was able to get this home. It has been hard lately to work on my real estate because the weather has been in the -0 range which makes it hard to get out, but it has warmed up to the twenties, so I am excited about getting started with wholesaling
