If they do not qualify because of poor credit or income issues compared to being self employed etc there are differences - but typically people don’t qualify due to poor credit and people will seller finance to these borrowers thinking they woke up at a holiday inn and got a finance degree when in reality they repeat their past mistakesRemember the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result

@Don Konipol  Don talk about a book on this subject by I think its Jimmy Napier which was written years ago But Don says its the bible I personally have not read it As I got my education working for a HML in Oakland CA and got on the job training as it where .He was a legend and I was very fortunate to find my way to his company and then eventually end up running it.

I just read Scott's Slow Flip book.....(1) Is it still feasible to buy houses for $30,000 -  $40,000 in this market?

It's cool to know how to use tools to a do analysis but it has to be utilized properly.I have seen several flippers who have read Rich Dad Poor Dad; had every Performa, chart, analysis package, market analysis reports, cost benefit analysis, work break down structures, IMS and much more and botched every project. 

We are in touch already, but for anyone else reading this, I thought I'd throw in some thoughts about your question on starting with turnkeys and thoughts on that. 

Hi there! I’m starting to dabble in real estate investing and a local agent told me this is a great spot to network and learn. Stoked to explore more. 

I know I’ve read people say we don’t need to pay for help but it’s a bit intimidating trying to filter through all the real estate information.  

STOP AND READ THIS FOR YOUR OWN SAKE !!

For instance, someone making $500k a year and living in a very highly appreciating market might be extremely happy on a deal that loses $200 a month but is getting 5% appreciation on a 2 million dollar property in San Diego, butut that doesn't make sense for the investor with 30k and a lower paying job.When it comes to the book series I agree with you that the order doesn't make sense (having read both).

I read on JP Morgan Chase's site that they could do the same, but I just haven't spoken to them yet to confirm.
