sbhproperties 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2008 Hi, my name is Brian and I am a 24 year old male who enjoys long walks on the beach. Sorry, wrong site... Hello everybody, my name is Brian and I live in Raleigh, NC. I have been lurking here for a few weeks and have decided it is time to make that first post. I have studied real estate investing since June but just recently started to take action. I signed up for the mentoring program with Michael today so I can get out of this “paralysis of analysis” rut. I want to go ahead and post so I can have some accountability on here as well.As for marketing, I utilize the following: 1)Business Cards 2)Bird Dogs (Teamwork Lead System) 3)Craigslist, FSBO sites*I just received bandit signs today and will be running a newspaper ad for 2 weeks starting this Saturday* I appreciate all of the information shared so far (I feel like I have read every post!) I look forward to contributing very soon as I grow into a successful investor. Brian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Jason. I moved to Raleigh in 2001 for college and have been here ever since. It has grown so much in this short time. Downtown is finally being revitalized along with a handful of 20-50 story buildings going up. Overall, it is a good area that offers a little bit of everything.

Michael Quarles 1 Report post Posted January 4, 2008 Hey Brian... Welcome I am new too! As for your classified ad try this... Run two ads on Thursday Saturday and Sunday... Two different telephone numbers and two different layouts... Both numbers will ring to the same number... Run them in the classified section under houses for sale. On one ad put circles around it... The other put upside down... I know it sounds crazy... Good Luck Michael Quarles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sbhproperties 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2008 Brian,Welcome aboard. I'm new here as well and have really learned some things reading all the posts. I'm also from Raleigh and have a bunch of deals which you may be interested in. Send me an email at halln27 @gmail.com Hopefully we can work together in the near future! Thanks,Nate Nate - Welcome to you as well. Anybody with the last name Hall are good people. I sent you an email a few minutes ago. As for me, I am still plugging away and trying to find the first deal. I know I am getting closer to it. I can already tell that with Michael's help through the mentor program I am making leaps and bounds instead of baby steps. I was split on signing up/not signing up and am so glad now that I did!
