Am I on the right track?

Your comment is awaiting moderation.

This was my first Monday night call, and it helped put things into perspective. I’m an infant in the society, still under 5 months, though I have always, through my whole life, thought in pictures. I was bullied so early and by so many, because I was supposed to “respect my elders,” that I was always putting myself out to make others happy. Giving up what I had worked for willingly, for almost 30 years. I’m 35, and earlier this year I quit my chef’s job, with the full intention of opening a restaurant. I knew it wouldn’t work the way I was thinking, so I went with my father to a Real Estate seminar. I was enlightened a little, that wore off in a couple days, and we never bought the mentorship program. I knew something was wrong when they said “well, this $50k program, we can knock this off, I’m not supposed to do this, how about $5k?”
And we found another, $300 for all these real estate tools, free weekend! Now this weekend was a little different, we had the chance to hear from and meet Joseph McLendon III ( I hope I spelled that right) which thankfully had nothing really to do with real estate.
We have not moved forward, I can’t speak for my father, but I was always uncomfortable when talking about the contracts (going back to one of my first live calls yesterday).
Well, I have an agreement signed on a property now, and I am using information from tonights call to record every step taken in the process of a real estate deal.
I know, real estate is definitely not a field that neo-thinkers would typically enter into, but I have been researching it for over a year now, and now with these tools, I’m positive I can bring values to this industry. I am so happy to see that, finally , by actually attacking the market, finding the value you can provide, and doing so with fully integrated honesty, and without contracts, is completely possible, even in such an industry as real estate. To clarify, the property I have under agreement, the owner was hit by the recent mortgage insurance increase and this extra property he is renting is losing him money and messing up his credit. On the flip side, I’m going to talk the tenant and see if she would be at all interested in buying it! I think I know someone, helped my Dad out of a house, that can get her some honest financing! I’m so very excited for the new year! I’ve been in the depths of hell, and I can see the way out now! Thank You Mack Mike and the entire society!
Happy New Year and Merry Christmas

p.s. If there is anybody in the society working in Real Estate, or if there is anybody in the society around Denver, please contact me! I still feel a little alone scratching in the dark, and I’m sure progress is being made.
