Well, after the last house fell through with my numbers being so far off, I was in a bit of a funk. Then, Kelly & I decided to pull Morgan out of Daycare and we would home school. Since I am home, we would school in the morning, while he had his quiet time or nap, I would make phone calls & work. Then, if need be, he & I would go out to see houses.
The first week was rough, new schedule, not many houses to look at & not a lot of positive things going on. Both he & I were in a learning curve. Him getting ready for Kindergarten & I the Real Estate investing business. It was tough.
This week, Kelly kicked me in the butt. I can hear most of you going "You go, Kelly," right now. She deserves it. I got back on the horse & started surfing for houses. Two things happened. One, my current Realtor showed my some more houses, one which I have an offer on. More on that later.Second, I found another Realtor to assist me in another market. He has been working with investors for a while & has several rental homes of his own. He gets many leads before they hit the market. We met today and I think we clicked. Kelly & I will be going out on Monday to see some houses with him.
Again, I am positive about what is happening. "Never, ever give up." I wasn't there. Though I felt low.
My point of attack has changed. I am enjoying everyday with my son, I am looking at houses & placing offers. Morgan is learning along side of me and will see that a strong work ethic goes a long way. After our schooling or our house visits, I am taking the time to show him things that most kids probably won't get to.
In the end, this venture into Real Estate investing is worth it & we will succeed.
Glad you got re-motivated!
