@Duriel Taylorcheck out Dustin Hahn's stuff at TaxLienCertificateSchool.com. He has all sorts of great materials to teach you about tax liens/deeds. I'm new to tax liens and deeds, but just bought his course (only $27) and am diving in headfirst! I'm going to be doing my investing remotely in places all over the country, so I'd be happy to see if I can help you. Let me know.

I'm currently living on the island of Kauai, Hawaii, but I grew up in Northern New Jersey and spent most of my life there. I have a vast network in NJ/NY and have been looking how I can begin investing in that area. Where is your multifamily in NJ? I have a friend who wholesales properties in Essex County (mostly Newark).

Thanks so much @Alex Franks! That makes perfect sense. I have a grant writer friend here on Kauai, so I'll pick his brain.

@Jack Hoffmanthanks for the offer of putting me in touch with your REI friend in Honolulu, that would be great! I'm on the island of Kauai and there aren't any REI groups here. I've been considering starting one for a couple of months. Would love to talk to someone who is running a group elsewhere.

Mahalo!

Aloha BP Community!

I just watched a webinar from Government Funding Solutions and Sean Carpenter touting the benefits of Government Funding to fund your deals. Similar to other guru presentations, they take the approach of talking about how anyone can get started with this stuff and how everything they're giving you is worth several thousands of dollars. 

Is there any legitimacy to this? I would love to hear from anyone with experience in working with these guys. I am a REI newbie and have been fiercely educating myself in all things REI over the last year to figure out the best path for me to get started. Small Multifamily and Commercial Real Estate (mostly large Multifamily) are very enticing to me, so this program's approach to using government loans and low to no-interest financing to get into commercial properties is intriguing.

They talk about

Broker Certification

Government Deal Funding

Affordable Housing Grants

Tax Credits

Section 8 programs

All of this for between $1k - $3k.

Once again, any insight would be awesome!

@Kerry Smith where in Hawaii is the Western Regional Medical Command relocating to?

@Bruce Bradsby where in Hawaii are you operating?

@Raed Quader, I hope you didn't purchase the Lot Flipper program. I just watched the first 10 minutes of Jerry Norton's Lot Flipper "live" webinar. After the first three minutes, I jumped on BP to check it out from the BP community. Sure enough, I found this thread:

As you'll see, the Lot Flipper program is a total scam. I'm sure that there's a way to actually flip lots for a profit, but paying these "gurus" $1000 is not the way to do it. Why would they need people to help them find these deals while they also give you the software to automatically find these deals? That makes no sense.

Hope that helps!
