oh those holidays

December 9, 2008 by Scott Costello 4 Comments

I’ve been chugging along in my quest to be become a real estate investor for over a year now and I’m finally picking up steam and then the holiday’s hit!?!?

Open Houses

I haven’t been able to go to any open houses the past 3 weeks. I’ve had a few chores I’ve been putting off that needed to get done. I was building book shelves for our office and needed to have them done by our holiday party last weekend. That took up a couple of Sundays. I’ve also been trying to sell my car and needed to take out the car computer I had installed and put back the old head unit. This killed another Sunday.

You may ask how come I didn’t do any of these things on Saturday? Well as I’ve probably mentioned in the past, Friday Nights and Saturdays are devoted to spending time with my wife. We work opposite hours and those are the only times we get to spend together so I won’t give that up for anything. If my wife is reading this…I love you honey :)

I need some help
I need someone(s) to hound me until I get a list of leads and start sending out mailers. This is getting ridiculous, I can’t decide on how I’m going to get them. The stupid part is I know it doesn’t matter, but for some reason I’m being cheap and don’t want to pay a lot to get these leads. ahhhh what the heck is holding me back???? So please, someone start sending me emails once a day until I get through this stupid road block.

That’s all I have for now…ugh
