Our first investment group meeting was tonight. We had a great turnout, and I got to meet some very cool, interesting, driven people. It turned out better than we expected. I'm looking forward to the next one.
I got several calls from my marketing today (finally). Still, nowhere near the amount of calls I think I should be getting- I've been marketing like a maniac. One seems to be a really good lead (ARV $135k-$140k), I can get it for around 80k, and it doesn't need much work (according to the seller). It's in a really bad part of town (again). I'm going to drive by the comps tomorrow morning. I would have driven by today, but I got the lead late in the day, and would have never made it to our meeting on time if I did. One of the investors at the meeting tonight told me not to bother unless I can get it for 50-60k. Shocking.
I'm about as frustrated and aggravated as I possibly can be. I can't work any harder, or do any more marketing than what I am doing (given my budget). I feel like I'm on candid camera or something. Maybe I should go back to doing things half a$$ed. Seems like I was getting more calls and leads when I was doing half of the marketing I am now. Nothing I am doing seems to be making any difference. It's like the harder I work, the less calls I get.
I may not be able to update my blog, or post on the newsgroup for awhile, because tonight I think I am going to finally toss my slow piece of shit computer out of my office window. Either that, or I might take a bat to it Office Space style.
