Thanks @Tony R. Just purchased it.  I will certainly look at the other one too @Brandon Green

Looking for some great suggestions on books about wholesaling. What do you recommend??

@Frank Patalano

Know-how/education. The mindset and approach is very different then the majority of where I’ve been professional and personally, and evolving my entire thought process is challenging.

@Mike Roy, @Tyler Gibson, and @Tony Kim thanks for the comments and sharing.  

These are some pocket listings that were shared in a group I am associated with.  Totally hear you on the premium payment for turnkeys.  These TK's were not from a provider, but rather an agent with some pocket listings.  

To add another question, to my question, what do you do to study the markets? I am an agent, so I study the hotsheets daily for a couple markets that I work in for clients, and that I am very interested in investing.  

I have come across several turnkey properties, and in my ongoing efforts to learn and educate myself I am hoping to find some guidance in what would typically be the next step in analysis, based on the information I have.  The following are the details available:

• Bed/Bath #
• Sq. Ft.
• Current rent/month
• Lease end date
• Routine maintenance cost for 2018
• Annual taxes for 2018
• Sales price

What questions, concerns, and analysis  would you recommend determining for someone going through this.  True newbie, assume I know nothing, which I know nothing.  What formulas/spreadsheets would you recommend utilizing to ensure a good deal is somewhere in here. 

My goal is to consume knowledge.  

May be too big a question for a single post.  

I appreciate the welcome @Stephanie P.  I agree with what you are saying about RVA.

Thank you @Dmitriy Fomichenko!

Thanks @Stephen Glover!

@Ian Gilligan Thanks for the welcome!

@Will C. WOW! Long time indeed!  Connecting now!

@Stephen Glover can you fill me in on the MeetUps?  Not entirely sure what they are...

Hello everyone, 

In August 2018, I became a dual-career professional as I became licensed agent in VA. I live and work in the greater Richmond-Metro, VA area (RVA to locals). My first/other career is in public education, where I began as a high school teacher/coach and have moved into the Athletic Director role beginning about five years ago.

My goal is to transition out of education using real estate as a vehicle to do so.  Cutting the cord or going all-in is not a viable option for me at this time with two young children who like food at home.  While my education profession is stable, and I have been successful, I want to make a move into a more entrepreneurial world.  I want to be able grow and achieve more based on my skills, strengths, and work ethic.  I also want more control of my time and freedom to be with my family.  

Since becoming an agent, I continue to find myself attracted to the investing niche.  I discovered BP a month ago via The Book on Rental Property Investing and the BP Podcast.  My plan is to is to make the real estate investing world my niche so as to become one of the best agents in the area for investors.  Using this path, I also plan to build my own portfolio to achieve my ultimate goal of stepping away from education and making real estate my full time profession, both as an agent and investing. 

I want to learn and grow from every resource I can.  BP seems like the right place to do that.  My first 15 years professionally, from an operations and logistics standpoint, is different then the private world.  But the skills, hard and soft, translate well into real estate.  

I look forward to connecting and networking, growing and learning from this forum and BP in general!
