Had a great coaching call tonight. My coach more or less helped me get things in gear. He noticed I’m getting a ton done. I have worked to get access to properties via my Realtor. I will be working with him so I prep and send out the offers. Ive zeroed in and looked at properties on the mls. I have 40+ letters in the mail to distressed properties. Yet in all that effort I have managed to find my car, check the tire pressure, check the oil, the mirrors, check the gas and start the car. I stilled haven’t moved two feet. I know where I am going, but without making offers, I have gone no where.
I have only made 1 offer in the passed 3 weeks. I have already had two weeks back from the honeymoon. No excuses.
My plan going forward is to look at 3 properties this week and get 2 offers out. I will setup 3 showings tomorrow. Steps every day.
The property I looked at yesterday is a no go. We both agreed it was not worth pursuing. Bad area, bad location, 15ft horizontal crack with visible bulge in foundation, asbestos, boiler, 1929 house with many hidden surprises, ARV 125k at best with 65k in work just to make it even rental ready which is all it is good for. To much risk for not enough reward. I am getting a better feel for repairs though.
Thats it for now. I leave you with this quote; “Any fool can make excuses, and most fools do!” Dale Carnegie.
