Hello Investors!
After my other post, AroundTheWorld inspired me to share my thoughts with the forum. I'll try to use bullet points etc. to keep the length down.
-To date I've landed one preforeclosure property in which I currently live in
-My REI plan as been to land more preforeclosure/foreclosure properties and wholesale them in order to build some capital
-After saving enough money, venture into multiunits where monthly cashflow is enough to make a comfortable living
-My computer background has helped decrease the amount of manual labor involved.
-My "system" has been constantly evolving and continues to better as weeks progress. It looks very promising.
Here's the dilemna:
I've heard many gurus say "focus on one area and become an expert in this area". While I've made preforeclosures my main scope, this is not my intended future scope (multi-units are). Now while I've been mostly dedicated to preforeclosures, I'll hear a seminar which talks about tax certificates for example. This then gets me thinking of how I can pursue this line of investing as well.
It seems the constant battle I encounter is trying to specialize in one area, but then trying to do all of them. I like having many tools in the arsenal, but having too broad a range tends to make me lose focus and become scattered. To add insult to injury, it feels that I'm not sure what area I would enjoy most, hence why I'm all over the place.
Lastly, there was a post made on the RDPD site which really stirred things up. This post mentioned a way in which the poster contacted a few reputable commercial investors and worked for free to gain the experience. This caught my interest alot. Currently I'm learning through hard knocks and posting on forums, but I feel having a mentor to keep me on the right track and let me bump along could be just what I need.
Well there you have it.
I hope this doesn't come across as a rant. I'm very motivated and dedicated in REI. Some days I feel my focus is 100% set, and others I question if it is the right path. Hopefully some of the experienced investors on this board can share some advice so that I can get things a little more organized.
Thanks,
Ryan
