Welcome to BP! Lots of great info here. Definitely check out the podcasts.

Good Luck!

The Podcasts are a great resource. The best thing is you can listen to them during you're commute.

Welcome Trevor!

Hey welcome to BP!

Check out the podcasts. Those alone have an huge amount of information and you can listen to them while driving! I just listened to podcast 21 with Jerry Puckett last night and that was an excellent about wholesaling and marketing.

I second listening to the podcasts and doing it multiple times. There is a wealth of information on those alone.

@Ellis San Jose How do you think PropertyRadar compares to the MLS for listings that have sold.
