@Danny Johnson I guess that makes me wonder How do I find a good deal without marketing? Should I talk to a hard money lender first and get a budget in mind on what I can afford with my cash down? Or should I "drive for dollars" and create a deal then go see a lender?

It's a lot I know I'm just trying to find what order works best for me. Its not always cut and dry as I'm learning 😁😁😁

@Sean Dolan

I do have cash to spend on marketing and website set up and even purchasing leads or direct mail. I just did not know which of the 100000 choices was best. 

Sales is definitely my strength, I have learned to connect with people from any background on a personal level, allowing myself to become a friend, not just a salesman. I don't know how I learned it but once I click with someone its a done deal. 

@John Thedford I have the millionaire real estate investor book literally sitting next to me now :-)

I have read on here multiple times to avoid the "pay to learn guys". I once signed up to :apply: and when they said they needed 20k I immediately said NO THANK YOU! Not my way of learning! 

Thanks for all the advice guys! 

Okay, so I have been researching for years and have been on the fence about investing for years, but no more! I am ready to start now! Few questions:

1. has anyone bought Cody sperber fast track 2.0? Worth the $500 in training?

2. Where can I get contract forms for state of Florida? Contract Genie?

3. I suck at marketing, it is for sure my weakest area, so does using direct mail websites/companies generate leads? Signs on the side of the roads (I've seen a few of those), Facebook ads (what do I say)? 

4. Any advice on getting a website? I wouldn't even know where to begin! Like, not at all! 

5. How do I pick a title company to work with? 

6. How to market whole sale deals? Contact realtors, MLS, try to locate other investors, Facebook, craigslist?

I am sorry to have so many questions, it seems a lot of the books I read leave out the specifics. I have reached out to some investors in my area only to be told I am their competition and if they were "to take on the hassle of training me I would have to go under contract with them so they would get 50% of my profits". I mean I understand to an extent to pay for training, but they just werent nice about it :-(
