LOL, James, you get me a wash tub, a narrow long board, some cord, some table spoons, a garden hose and a few oil funnels, some cans and trash cans and some sticks a few small rocks and a frying pan, we can jam!

I'm getting some grief from the local Housing Office due to their failure to understand complex real estate title holding strategies and the IRS TIN Matching program.1) The Housing Office wants to know who the owner of a property is by supplying a copy of the deed.2) They want to match the SSN/EIN of the owner for 1099 purposes using the IRS TIN matching service.Easy, right?

Not one property was bought for under $100K. 6) These guys are 'Flash in the pan'... these guys are not in for the long haul...

Counter to that everyone can go see the movie and spread word of mouth how awesome it is and the movie does incredible sales regardless if the movie critics panned it or not. ( people being able to remember the name to tell others about is key ).

Its about $53~ bucks to mail a 4lb tin of cookies to someones door.

And the old fear that using this stuff will lead to harder drugs just doesn't pan out among the 30 something's.If you need to discuss this with her the suggestion is not do this out in the open since it's currently not legal in your state. 

They easily conceal deteriorated original ceilings and it's much easier to install new lighting above a drop ceiling than above a crumbly plaster or tin ceiling.

Without passion, most people get bored when the "quick" part of the Get Rich Quick plan doesn't pan out ---- I truly believe  there is no better path to wealth than with real estate - BUT, it is more of a Get Rich Slow plan -- To be completely frank with you, (like I said in my email) I do believe that wholesaling is a difficult road to riches .... there are a TON of "investors" sending out mailers for the same motivated sellers you will be marketing to (I get about 15 letters/postcards a week) so the odds are against you and it will be an uphill battle ---- BUT you seem to have passion, and when you have passion on your side, perseverance will take you a LONG way.I started out trying to wholesale and fortunately, I was a terrible failure .... my failure caused me to keep my first wholesale deal as a rental property --- less than 6 years later, I resigned from a $150,000/yr salary career to spend my days doing whatever I want ....
