Before you spend any money on courses, try buying all the bigger pockets books and reading them 5-20 times each and put all the lessons into practice. Treat your learning like college; take notes, do labs, look for local mentors, find local partners, join group discussions. 

I haven't done my first wholesale yet, but have done my first deal. However already in my pipeline I am getting $2mill commercial real estate to my cell phone at least once a week off-market and am now building my high price buyer funnel through connections with local agents for $100-200k assignment fees working with brokers to sign off. 

Theres no magic pill for this, just read and educate yourself and get started. You will find everything you need as you go.

Anything can be a good idea when you compare the cost to certify against potential earnings year over year, but the one thing I have seen trending since last year are low cost notary options on sites like task rabbit or other apps.

You will definitely need to be the cheapest option for a while to build your brand is what I have seen. If that's not something you agree with it could easily be seen as "not worth it", but it's really up to you.

After building your reputation and smoozing with local title companies to build a funnel, it's likely you can make some decent money, but at that rate of time you could just get a part time job and save for a deal.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Looked into the product and can't find what you're talking about. The only course I see is a class offering information you can find for free on BP for $199a year or something. I am not sure, can you drop a link?

The links are available above for the spreadsheets. One tool I have been looking at using as well is flipper force. Has anyone had experience with their project management tool? Might try it out for thirty days.

Seems like you already found the book. One thing you can do is set yourself up for notifications from BP authors on amazon and you will be notified of every book or audible available if you like the content.

Post: Finding owner of property?

I would imagine the answer here is probate court or something related directly to the city or public water and sewer companies. Look up next of kin, hire a skiptracer, find the estate owner, call the sheriffs department, ask the neighbors.... etc.

Get creative brotha, good luck. 

No, only the credits if purchased under your name. The loan is contingent on the unit being owner occupied for up to 1 year with different lenders having different lengths and some loopholes being available. 

You didn't say what type of loan. I think theres at least 8 different loan products. Some of which would require personal guarantees and some that would not. If your name is on the line and a renter sues, that's your ***. I would look a little more into how to properly structure yourself when setting up rentals to avoid headache down the line. 

If you talk with any lender they should be able to answer any questions you have though. That is what I would recommend. Good luck brotha!
