 What is the difference between a "rent to own" and a "lease option"?

Great list! I think #7 is the best bet personally. Then texting, cold calling, and door knocking being the best method of contact. For $250 you could pull 1000 leads, call and text them, and knock the doors or those whose numbers are not correct. If your list is targeted enough, I bet there is a deal in there! If not, repeat for 6 months, I would all but guarantee a deal. 

On the other side of the coin is #1. Mail to a targeted list seems hit or miss to me. I know plenty of people who do it and swear by it! But at 60 cents a pop, it feels like an expensive play. Thoughts?

Lastly, could you expound on what you mean by #2, "online resources"? Seems broad, so I am curious what resources you mean.

Great post! and great question @Jewel B.

Hey everyone, 

I am looking for someone who knows a good wholesale contract back and front who can JV a couple deals I have in the pipeline in CA. I am a realtor and I want to make sure I am protected as I execute the contracts. If you feel like you would be a good fit and can show a few deals that you worked on, send me a DM! I would love to connect with you.

@Amna Malik , great info here for your venture in NC!

I grew up in Raleigh and I have been saying this for years.. Durham is next!! Great to see it come to pass. I know of a few tech companies based there with average salaries in the 150s. Money being pumped in and RE prices still regionally low. Great time to make moves!

Some are worth it, most are not. There is SO much free information out there. A lot of these gurus charge 10k. Take a decent w2 job @$40 an hour, thats 250 hours of work to pay that. I wonder-if you took 250 hours of time and consumed every bit of free content on BP and networked your butt off, could you achieve an education and SOI equivalent to the gurus/what they offer? Yes of course you could. But most won't because its too much work. We want the easy way out. If you did decide to go with a guru-type, I would recommend Pace Morby. He puts out an insane amount of incredibly valuable content for free and then his mentorship if above and beyond. But again, its 8k. Just a matter of what you value and if youre willing to do the work. 

Well done @Daniel Denning !!

Are you looking to do more investing in the SC area?

I just found foreclosurelistings .com and it shows some properties in preforclosure. I have had much more success in helping people avoid foreclosure in the first 90 days than after they have an auction date. Have you had success keeping a property out of auction after a sale date has been issued?

@John Underwood Thanks John!

@Charlie Tunstall Thank you! Do you know how to get a list of preforclosures?
