Quote from @Chris Gibbins: Hi Everyone - I searched the forums but could not find any related posts.

Happy to help with some advice and if you do a search, you'll find some solid posts I made on the space. 

The purpose of this post is to alert people about this $35K scam (since BP has such a high Google ranking, and hopefully this post might come up in some's search result when they are doing research on this so called "Elite Legacy Education"), and here are the details:I read the Rich Dad Poor Dad book back in high school, and I'm fascinated by his emphasis on financial education (although later on I realize man of his other books are repetitive and erroneous).

I would make sure however you are investing is clearly understood (see Norada search on BP). 

This will help you in the long run, as you'll find your agent experience will be a blessing & a curse:- Blessing due to your understanding of MLS, searches & contracts.- Curse because MUST change your agent mindset.

I don't think it should matter if the deal is seller financed, cash, or hard money; the title search and insurance process should be the same.

You can search by address to find the owner's name and contact information.

I am also in search of a PM right now and interviewing few candidates

I did a MLS search, and there is definitely nothing close to what you have in your neighborhood. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1066-28th-St-Oakland-CA-9...
