Money free, really????
I am new to the idea of real estate investing, wholesaling and flipping. I know that I work way too hard for the little amount of money that I make at my current job. I am killing myself and missing out on family time. I have found a whole slew of YouTube videos about wholesaling and rent to own that it seems a little bit too easy. Are there any folks out there which are working in the Springfield Missouri area that have had success in wholesaling and rent to own field? I appreciate your time and efforts.
Justin Lloyd.

@Justin Lloyd Hey, I want to reemphasize what @Gena Kirkwood said. No strategy in Real Estate Investing happens over night. Fortunately if you can put in the effort and determination to learn and apply it, the opportunities are endless. There is a REI group in Springfield that meets monthly and includes a beginners meeting as well. I can pm more info you would like. That would be a great place to begin to learn about the local market and find experienced investors to help lead you in the right direction. Education is extremely important but also useless without action. Good luck and reach out if you need anything!
