I know its been a few days but I needed to gather my thoughts for this blog so I will try and keep it a short "novel"
This past Sunday January, 8th I had my first door knocking experience. There are certain steps to take when you are preparing to door knock. You want to find out the basic information about the property, you don't want to do intensive research. Now why do I say don't do extensive research? You don't want to put in hours of research and figure out all the numbers and finally when your door knocking they are not interested in selling. Then you have waisted hours of your time and don't have anything to show for it. When you could have put that time and energy in other property research.
Thats exactly what happened with this property in Pearl City, I had done my research about the property and who the owner was, found out they she was elderly and looked into assisted living homes for her. Total research time 4-8 hours over the course of a week. Now I didn't invest a whole lot of time into researching this property, I did enough to get the information I needed to go door knocking properly.
The thing about door knocking is its not an appointment, you might go and the person might not be there. Fortunately for us when we pulled up to the house there was a car in the driveway. A sigh of relief to see someone home, we were hoping we didn't make the trip for nothing.
Here are some pictures of the property.

The owner was widowed with 3 sons. Now 2 of the 3 sons did not want to sell, so we didn't want to get in between a family situation. Overall it was a good experience.
The next place is a house in Kaneohe, if you find a run down house or vacant land feel free to contact me!
Heres to being Young Rich & Free in 2012!
