Step x Step

I am at the end of the book and things are beginning to get a little clearer as to how I can position myself. The first thing I am doing is paying very close attention to how I spend my money. I also ran my credit and got a credit card from Bank of America rto help rebuild my credit. I am pursuing knowledge in the arena of Financial Education. I am setting up a home office and I am about to design a system that can be implemented for my type of real estate business that entails lead generation, lead tracking, prospect development, active deals, closed deals and a log of cash flow and expenses, debts and assets. I have some friends who I would like to do business with also, one (DR) is a mortgage broker who owns his own firm and the other (RM) is a corporate accountant who previously considered starting a real estate investing business with me. I know that his credit is AAA+ and he is smart as a whip. I am sure that there will be opportunities for each of us to get paid handsomely. I am trying to develop a mastermind group a la "Think and Grow Rich" in order to have a strong network of individuals that can work together toward common goals. The first thing I need to do is figure out which kinds of deals require the least capital and where credit scores are not so acutely scrutinized. I am going to look at the different types of investments and their pros and cons to decide which path I should pursue first.
