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

So that was my ah ha moment.

The problem I'm having is my low cash balance for the moment.

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.

Salem Michigan near Ann Arbor, and I'm searching for 1 hour drive locations preferably and so far I only went out to that radius and avoiding Detroit at the moment.

Rentals that are priced at the top of the market are not renting quickly at the moment.

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. 

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.

For the moment, it's good enough that the home value and rent value continue to increase with everything else in Lakewood, but is this the peak?
