It’s like day 5 into this “get a buyer’ race.? I’ve got the properties advertised in quite a few places now. CraigsList, Facebook, etcetera.? I put out some signs about them also.? I took a different approach to signs this time…more of a “damn I’m broke as hell, how am I gonna buy signs” approach, but I made it happen…I guess that’s all that counts.? I even came up with a way to create a cheap lockbox for about $10.? I’ll create some how-to’s on both of those when I get the time to….like in November 2012 or something…the way things are looking.

The week’s almost over and I need to get this accountability post in.? It’ll be a quick one.
Let’s see.
I was supposed to get 12 MLS offers out, distribute 50 brochures, and post 5 flyers.? Well, I got 29 MLS (expired) offers out, I only got about 30 brochures out and I was able to post 2 flyers.? So does that balance out to meeting my goals?? Nah…it doesn’t.? I think the trick is to not try and do all of this in one mission.? I think that’s where I’m getting caught-up.? From now on, I’ll just do what I can each day and pace myself, instead of deferring these tasks for completion all in one day.? Again, I’ll keep these goals constant for next week.? I need to add to this list…so I’ll think about what else I should be doing weekly.

It’s official, I’m 29 years old now and I have exactly 1 year left to reach my 7-figure net worth goal. I’ve come a long way from where I was last year, but I still have quite a ways to go. My strategy remains the same as it was a year ago; wholesale properties until I have a positive net worth of approximately 30K and then diversify by investing in short-sales and rentals. In October of 2010, I’ll be investing with a partner in tax lien certificates. I also have an internet marketing company in the works.? So the 1M won’t all come from Real Estate.? I admit, my plan is somewhat vague at the moment, however I realize now that trying to calculate every move is a wasted effort. For me, it’s best that I just have a template of a plan and adapt when necessary.

Okay, so after my post last night, I took immediate action.? I bugged a college friend who is a marketing wiz (MBA) and does graphic design until I finally got in touch with her via phone earlier today.? I ran my concept past her, as far as needing a brochure to put on houses explaining that I buy houses fast.? I’m leaving the graphics and marketing concept completely up to her as I know she’ll knock it out of the park.? She just started her own marketing company and I’m glad I’m getting to her early, because once she’s established she will cost an arm and a leg.? I’ve seen some of her past work and I know she’ll do good with this.? I’ll hopefully be able to outsource some other marketing materials to her too.? I like to find someone who does good work and stick with them.
