Indy Wholesaler looking to expand/shift strategies

[Aaron Clements]

Hello BP!

I am not exactly new here, but I am just now returning after a long hiatus from using the site. I have been studying and learning as much as I can. I kinda got into the REI world on accident with a strategy I now know is called "house hacking". I rented out the upstairs unit of my house which consists of basically a whole other 3/1 house...lol From there I started a flipping project with a partner who went through a nasty divorce mid swing and the project fell apart (still trying to salvage some pieces of that adventure). In the process of trying to sell the houses we had that were killing us in holding costs, I managed to build up a decent cash buyer's list and made some really solid partnerships along the way to begin wholesaling. That is what I am primarily focused on at the moment, but would like to shift focus to a more long term strategy of buy/hold or possibly notes. I would like to learn more about both as my team builds up a base to start flipping and holding.

 Where would you recommend I start looking to learn about note investing?  

What is the best "Note newbie" books you recommend I read or listen to in audiobook format (preferred)? 

Where are some good places to network with private lenders to take our business to the next level?

What other strategies should I consider?  What is working for you?

All the best!

Aaron
