We've got an incredible program where we do things the banks won't do with respect to financing residential developments up to $30K.

(Being that most apartment building in downtown lisbon are small and only need refurbishment on the inside no structural repairs needed).Which offer incredible yields both on a rental basis or from a fix & flip perspective.In my specific case I don’t have the required funds available to enter on my own and therefore am looking for seasoned investors who would be willing to enter on a partnership or joint venture to invest (all legal, with written contracts obviously).I have seen people with no money but the right skills and connections for the job be successful at it.

If I get a new home at 6-7%, to get to the same size of a home, same age, same size yard, everything, that is a $1.3-$1.4M home, which is incredibly expensive. 

As Sean said....if the academy isn't for you, just the podcasts alone are incredible (my words)I've read through every wholesaling post on BP, and aside from a handful of quality discussions that are very very good, most of the 105 pages can't touch the material that Sean provides for free in his podcasts.As someone who's starting brand new, I felt that getting either a home study course like Eric M's, or joining a coaching program would be a perfect compliment to all the information from the interwebz.

I'm currently looking for my first deal so It's hard to imagine what to put in credibility packet when all the skills I have are not real estate related.I guess what I'm asking is how do you make people like lenders and other investors believe in you as much as you do?

I will say that the wholesale market here is incredibly competitive.

I've progressed from owning fixer upper duplexes in the north end of Winnipeg where I would do the renos myself late into the night; to purchasing large apartment buildings to acquiring properties in 13 different cities across Canada and the United States. to now buying office buildings and institutional-grade grocery-anchored retail centers leased to national tenants and publicly traded companies like Walmart, Safeway, and Loblaws.Before 27, I achieved lean FIRE, all thanks to the inspiration and fundamental concepts from the BP podcast and the incredible people I've met along the way in this entrepreneurial journey by betting on myself, committing to lifelong learning, and nurturing an insatiable curiosity.If someone like me, who barely made it through high school and would be considered "unlikely to succeed" by my peers, can do it, so can anyone reading this.

That is incredible @Bob Stevens is your buddy paying cash from his tremendous portfolio?

And Jay, thank you for all the incredible information. 

A couple of months ago I had an opportunity to put one of Jimmy’s techniques into effect.
