One of the best ways to get immersed is to join organizations in your specified industry. The power of meeting people and letting them know what you can do for them combined with who-knows-who power is incalculable.
So, today I'm going to a semi-local (1 hour drive away) REI meeting to network with people. It's going to be a lot of fun. ^.^
This don't always go exactly as you planned, so correct and continue. Going to talk to a few people today to see what they have to say.
Looking back, I remember that I had make like 6-7 calls on real estate groups in the Nebraska area. The unfortunate part is that I haven't gotten any word back from ANY of them.
This saddens me in a way, and also makes me realize that there is the potential for opportunity. There is nothing really like this in my area, and I could be the one to start it. ^.^
It's something I'll have to keep in the back of my mind and think about for the future.
The banker is still out today, so I left a message on her voice mail and hopefully she'll get back to me on Monday.
I called the bank the Realtor recommended that I start looking for financing options. However, she was out sick for the day. I hope that she is well, and it's my friendly reminder than things often happen that our out of our control.
Met with the Realtor today and she (YES! A SHE!!!! *smiles*) seems like a cool person - down to earth and tells it like it is. I can see myself working well with her and doing many deals in the future. She has tons of experience in rehabbing homes. It's awesome I've found the person who works in the area I'm wanting to start in first.
I didn't know that much information could be packed into one small half hour discussion. It was almost an information overload, but I made it through. I was mostly on the listening end, which is where I wanted to be.
I have a banker to call tomorrow to set up an appointment to see what I need to do to qualify for financing. This scares me a bit, I must say.
Doing my first deal correctly is becoming more of reality for me and is becoming easier and easier to visualize. Not to say I won't stumble and pick myself up from time to time, but I know I'm starting with a good foundation and working my way up.
I just received a call from a local Realtor and have a meeting set up on Wednesday. WOOT!
I feel a bit nervous and excited all at the same time.
Now is the time I prepare a short summary of myself, goals and questions to make sure we're a right fit for each other.
