Of course as nature of things the community of investors in my area that are investing in the US is small and no united network of investors exists.Couple of days back a large conference of investors took place and I mingled with everybody and handed out business cards and managed to assemble 20+- investors to open a REIA. 

From what i have gathered, Zach has a passion for helping people reach their dreams of financial freedom and as i get further along in my career, i can only say that Zach’s help will undoubtably be priceless.

Texas law provides significant protections for homestead properties against most creditors, such as credit card lenders or lawsuit judgments, such that your falling behind on payments will not cause you to lose your home.

I literally get a Christmas card from my Plumber - which tells me we are one of their bigger customers. 

I feel, unless you truly detest your current work/life balance, or it has been you dream to be a part of REI, you will find it very difficult, if not impossible to build greater wealth from your position without significant risks and distribution to the stable family life you likely already have.You are not going to make compatible money from REI in the next few years.

Broke student had no money before the course, but now has a $5K - $10K credit card balance now after paying for high priced wholesaling and get rich quick education.- Obviously, student is not going to be buying a house anytime soon, much less making cash offers.

I see this constantly out in the market place those who want to jump in the RE world that have limited to no resources and they are far to worried about what the equity or money partner is going to make.. or they spend months trolling the internet trying to find that private investor who is happy with 8% or 10% which they never find and they just lose the dream   ... if there is not enough money in a deal to split profit or be able to comfortably pay HML  then the deal is too skinny to start with..

You can get cash from your credit cards.
