How Do I Start Part Time As An Investor When Working Full Time Job?

Anyone have any suggestions that could help me out. I would appreciate any advice.

How do I start my business part time. I have no lunch time and I live 40 mins away from my job to my home.

What are the best answering services to use to answer your calls while you are at your full time job all day?

Thanks
Carol

    or when your shopping, at a resturant, hell anywhere. at least you can see if you have calls at work. maybe even call back......km

    I do this full time and couldnt possibly see working another job at the same time. i dont think i would have enough time.

    anyways sleep is overrated, and after work when its really late at night is the best time to be putting up bandit signs. no one sees you doing it at 3 AM in the morn.

    I have used PAT LIve for a while. Works pretty good, I check sometimes and call into my own service just to check on them as I think any owner should.

    CarolG;

    The very best way to get started in RE as a new and otherwise employed investor is to get a mentor who will assist you from start to finish and split the profits wiith you.

    Most of your local investor groups will have mentors who will project manage for you. In Dallas, we (experienced mentors) get 50% of the "net" profits.

    C- :-o

    I appreciate your input. Chuck Smith has a boot camp here in Cleveland April 2nd & 3rd, and I will be attending it. I do have an investor friend that will be my mentor. I have started a buyer list, and I placed an ad and i got a few replies.

    Everyone ----- Thank you again for all of your help.

    some people believe heavily in automated 1-800 answering services. especially people who also work another j.o.b. in towns were there is alot of competition, chances are if they call you and get a answering machine they are going to go right down the list to the next investors ads until they get a real person. so you may be loosing out on deals by not being able to answer the phone and deciding weather its a good deal or not. obviously some dont have the time and or schedule for this. so you may want to look into what some of the services out there provide (real person answering the phone)

    I will have to try PatLive and see how that would work out will I am at work all day. I am also looking for a birddog find properties during the day.

    I will have to really think this all out once i get started. I would have to lose customers will I am not there answering the phone.

    Thanks for all of your feed back...it helps!
