I took the Flip Advantage class that Turk and Christine offer. Im just going to stick with what I am comfortable with my rentals and purchase rehab and sell.  and count my loses on the classes( thousands of dollars.) Im totally embarrassed & humiliated over this. Its a shame when you trust ppl to teach you how to do something and you respect the fact that they are now tripple dig-gets income ppl and worked hard to get where they are at/  and you find out they are nothing but _players) lesson learned! I totally apologies to anyone if I  offended you,  for I was blind sided and miss lead.

end of story.........moving on

@Mark Brogan I havnt even got that far yet with anyone. I have a 4 different mentors in 6 months and every single one did things differently.My last mentor  came from Utah  3 weeks ago. I was told to find a listing (he actually did this together with e and my agent (which I do with my agent-foreclosures) we go look at it together and I do a walk thru to do the rehab costs , then sit down and do the numbers. If anyone was interested after all the person looked at the numbers and all the pictures you take of all the rehab that needs done and if then they are interestedhave them sign a paper for a finders fee for the property address and the have them make a appointment with  the agent.,if they don't purchase i don't get my fee if they do purchase i get a fee but the fee is negotiable its not a set price or anything . Please Please..i'm here to learn...i'm just doing what the mentor told me to do. Now I feel like an A**!

@Mark Brogan ok. I see what you are saying and I agree. But, there is a buyers agreement that they have to sign first with me after all the questions and answers between the both of us........my mentor told me then once they are interested in seeing it with the Realtor then they sign the contract with me on the finders fee , then that is invoiced to the Realtor to hand in at the closing if he purchases the property. (I'm confused now)...ha ha

THIS WHOLE SALE THING IS TOOOOO HARD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I have a cpl properties that I did the #'s on .....and no bites. I did the financial calculator on  them...(there good to go))They are good deals.  If I could get the funding I would purchase them myself. I just might! I am doing everything my mentor coached me to do on whole sale. ERRRRRRRRRRRRRR frustrated! Seems like rentals are the only thing I'm good at  :(.....

Everyone wants to know what the address is and when I don't reveal that to them just yet to try to get more info out of them..............I LOSE THEM! Then my whole day is filled up with CUTTING  hair and the every day activities of running spa and salon..buy the time I get back to them AT the end of the day ...I either can't get them or they can't get me and I lose them again..............

@Udy Ekanem 

 I myself would pull out some of  my 401K  and invest it in a rental and make that money work for you they way you want it to work! Then you can buy another and another and another .....blanket mortgage each property with no money down. That's what I did all those years. I started out with $17k single family home and rented it then borrowed against it , then another , then another... built up a nice portfolio! It willhelp you pay off those school  loans faster!!!!Just remember do the #'s

@David Zachery  I have to say something here....I've been self employed for over 1/2 my lifetime. Don't you wish now you would of showed some income those past years on your books? Lesson learned. School of hard knox. Been there done that. What about a home equity loan?

A Car, Boat? or a blanket mortgage with no money down.  What about this web site www.peopletopeoplelending.com   Also folks!!You can lend money on this site too and make money for yourself! CHECK IT OUT! THERE ARE OTHER SITE TOO!
