I can clearly tell that those people will never get anywhere in life. Doesn't matter what kind of teaching they get. If you read their posts their all hoping to find essencially a "get rich quick scheme". Then when they didn't go out and buy any properties and didn't make any offers they felt they were burned.

That kind of poverty mentality really floors me! Also many talk about trying to get refunds. What a joke. Anyone who's going places knows or should know that you should always save at least 5% of your income to invest in books, courses and educational training. I've bought some courses that I never really dove deep into either. One costed 5k the other was 1k. But when I didn't thoroughly apply the information I wasn't screaming "SCAM". I actually kept the courses. One that costed $5000 by famous marketing guru Jay Abraham I had in my garage for about 3 years. Then I eventually just left it at the "Salvation Army Drop of Box" to allow someone else to benefit from it.

But when it comes to buying realestate I'm yet to find a course that's more comprehensive than Carlon Sheets course. And actually if by chance you know of something equally as informative then I'd like to read or listen to it.

But you know what? Like it's rediculous when I think about it, because REI isn't rocket science. It takes no more than a 4th grade education in my opinion to become filthy rich. Because honestly what do you need to know? Quantum Physics to make this kind of money? I don't think so. Like get serious, it's so rediculously simple anyone with half a brain could do this. So when I read those posts it just boggles my mind.

However, I shouldn't talk. I've met some of those people. And I could look at their situation and if I was them I'd know exactly how to go from where they are to being a millionaire in a year or less. But they might not ever get there simply because for some reason they such small thinkers. You start talking about the notion of buying an apartment building and they start to look like your speaking french. But the irony is that some of those people I know have tons of dead equity sitting in their houses that if they'd just put it to use they could most likely retire tomorrow.

Anyway I'll just shut up now.

This place is a riot tonight.

You aren't primarily looking for properties managed by a property management company. I would look for the properties managed by Lucy, who lives in apartment 4.

You have to start thinking like a bad landlord.

Drive around looking for properties that have obvious deferred maintenance issues and track down the owners. Ask them if they want to sell.
