Trainer in Flipping and Wholesaling
Does anyone have a lead on a great trainer regarding wholesaling and flipping for hire. I am a resident of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. But I am willing to travel anywhere required in an effort to learn the two aforementioned skills.

Over 10 years ago, a guy trained me in the field on how to do wholesaling and subject to's.
He actually mentored me in the field for 3 days, teaching me how to grid a market, how to find deals, how to make offers, gave me paperwork to use, taught me how to use the paperwork, how to find buyers, how to handle buyers...everything I needed to know to get started and get paid in the business. When he left, I had a couple of properties under contract and prospects for them.
I made enough money to pay for my training, and have recovered my investment in that training many, many times over.
He mentored me in 2003. It's 2016, and he's still around while the others have long since gone by the wayside. If nothing else, the test-of-time tells you about the value of his work. If you are interested, reach out to me to connect or email me. BP prohibits me providing his name and contact info in this forum, but I shall be glad to share it privately. With so many "trainers" out there, more of which offer nothing of value than not, it is hard to determine which is which. If I can help keep someone from getting burned, I am glad to do it.
Actually, the BP rules d not restrict you from saying who your mentor was, unless you're coaching and drawing PM's to make an offer, which can be against the rules.
Anyone teaching wholesaling better be teaching how to take title, most aren't and those will just lead to trouble.
Gurus are mentioned all the time on BP, good or bad experiences, we just don't advertise in the forum except the marketplace. Pleas fill us in as to who.... :)
