The past 7 days it seems like things have dragged out for one reason or another.  What is good about that is that I am starting to build momentum as I am approaching buying my first investment property in a few years.

My thoughts have shifted from doing one home at a time to doing multiple.  My brother, who has been an active real estate investor for many years is switching his focus off of short sales due to the recent legislation and he is going to be practicing the same investment strategy as I am.

He told me last night that his goal was to buy, fix, and flip 20 homes in 2010…I immediately responded that my goal is 21.  It is nice to have someone to push me and if you can find someone to push you than I think your chances of success increase.

Right now I can feel the momentum building as I have overcome some of the initial deal funding hurdles as well as contract issues (Fannie Mae) that had to be dealt with only once.  I can see that I am getting streamlined in my efforts to make offers.  I have properties lined up to go see and make offers on the minute I get word back on the properties I have already submitted offers on.

I am building momentum!

To start the ball rolling it did take me longer than I would like, but I have slowly picked up speed and things are starting to happen.  It took me years to find an investment strategy I was truly comfortable with, but now I have chosen and I have taken action.  I have followed the recommendations, making a few tweaks here and there to fit my personality.

I am working on getting the guys behind the course to let me offer it to anyone who wants to read and follow along with me as I take my journey.  The course is closed right now and it is rare that they take on new members these days.  But the course did click with me so I hope that it will click with you as well!

I am building momentum and I am going to be a successful real estate investor!

What is your path to success and are you building momentum?
