I haven't seen all the material from all the gurus of course, but what I have seen and what I have heard through the interviews on the BP podcasts and others is that the information is valid in terms of how to wholesale or network or short sales etc.I am not defending their sales techniques, just saying that the information provided by them was accurate and presented in a comprehensive form that was thought out and had direction on the teaching.

That's a technique taught by several guru's and it works well, Brian.

My goal is to create passive income and build assets so that I can take time off from medicine and relax a little more.

I am hearing direct mail is the best way of marketing, what your technique?

We plan to vacay and scout out the area for our own future rental property.I would think a good property management is key too, if it's a few hours away.Or at least an infrastructure to "clean"/ inspect between visits.I have seen many different contracts. some just a page, some a novel.I have seen relaxed landlording based on the honor system.I have seen strict landlording with RULES and REGULATIONS.I have been in homes, where stuff broke and they were able to fix it right away...that is my biggest issue b/c this lake is 2+ hours awayOne vacay home had a local residence to help monitor their guests (us)
