Wow, Steve, what a fantastic thread!

Compiling all of this must have taken a considerable amount of time. It's very much appreciated!

Too bad I can only give you 1 vote.

Thanks Steve for bring these all to one place. You have a real knack for finding the information buried here. I for one appreciate the many times that you provide additional links on a topic being discussed. A real benefit for all.

[Matt DuSold]

This is awesome! Thanks Steve!

[Nick Abbate]

Steve,

You sure do know how to help new wholesalers out. I will make sure I read all the links before I ask anymore questions. Thank you so much.

[Vikram C.]

Josh, can this be made a sticky? And Steve and others can regularly update it with new links to threads, articles, etc?

I think this is a great way to make the site better. Steve, do you have the time to do this for other frequently asked questions?

No question this should be a sticky so we could put this question to rest.

Folks,

Thanks Steve this is very helpful.

[Steve Babiak]

To all of you who have expressed your thanks - you're all welcome. And your votes are definitely appreciated.

Fortunately I was able to assemble that first post before the new forum design went into place; the techniques I use to build these types of posts are hampered a bit by one of the changes made with the new forum design.

Love this thread!!

Great information for any wholesaler. It would be great to continue to gather buyers list info in one place.

[Bill Gulley]

Good work Steve! Brought it back up for you since we had a smart _ _ _ (kid) fill the board up.

[Steve Babiak]

Just a bump to keep this near the top for the New Year ...

Hey thanks for taking the time to put this together Steve.

[Dion Shields]

Another GREAT post Steve! Thanks for the information.

Thanks Steve!!

Steve -

Great list to resources here on BP. I think I read where several people commenting mentioned the need to always be building your buyer's list. That is essential to success. When you are at your peak - BUILD YOUR BUYER'S LIST!!! There is only one way to go if you are flying high...

Good stuff and thanks for compiling the resources.
