Yeah, I knew a little about him, and did a bit more research. I sort of wanted to ask a question where the answer just told me how to build companies and sell them for hundreds of millions of dollars, but I know that's hard to do in 15 minutes.

No, I'm not paying for it, he just came to lunch at work today. I'm not exactly sure how he's connected. He went to school with someone that our boss knows or something, so he came in and answered our questions. I couldn't come up with something, but couldn't pass up the chance.

if you were about to have lunch with Alfred Lin, the CFO of Zappos, and you could ask him one question, what would it be?

Bryan, I wouldn't worry too much about Paul ending the Fed. Being the chairman of the committee does not give him the power to do that.

By the way, his solution for a replacement is likely "nothing," also referred to as "the free market."

I'm a newbie investor in Austin, with the possibility of moving to NYC. I love it here, but the girlfriend loves it there, and she doesn't think that Rock, Paper, Scissors is a good way to decide!

I'm mostly interested in short sales and wholesaling, but I'm willing to adapt to what the market demands. If anyone wants a hard working JV, please PM me. I'm always willing to work for knowledge.

Post: What course do you recommend for learning about wholesaling?

Paul, first off find out if there is a wholesaling market in your area. It's not happening everywhere.

how do you do this? how can I find out if there's even a market here?
