@Gary Lallo In your spot, the first thing I would do is check with people at the Cincinnati REIA.

it is a great book and so is the millionaire real estate agent also by Gary Keller.

One thing I would do if I had to start all over from scratch is read the book "The Millionaire Real Estate Investor" by Gary Keller and create a business plan straight from the pages in his book.

Gary Keller of Keller Williams wrote a book called "Shift - How Top Real Estate Agents Tackle Tough Times", and in Chapter 10 he wrote about using Creative Financing to help Sellers and Buyers.

One good one is the Millionare Real Estate Investor by Gary Keller.
