I coach lease options, pm or colleague me :)@Clarke Cuthbert

@Doug Pretoriuscc @Douglas DowellI agree with everything you just said.And you need to get ready for court, always, in case a TBer or Seller gets an attitude and wants something not contracted for.IMHO, sub2 and wraps need training, and need solutions for funding if the loan gets caled due to DOS clause.Sandwich lease options can be done with excellent communication and coaching of TBers with Mortgage Qualifying.Lease Option Assignments need "under promising and over delivering", keep and eqe out for how things are going. 

With the knowledge and wisdom that is available here at BP and the guidance/coaching of experienced investors that I hope to establish relationships with along the way, I have no worries about falling short of our goals.

@Vricia SanchezI love Bakersfield because the lower cost of homes compared to other parts of Southern CaliforniaThere's two problems right now, sellers have no equity and buyers of a hard time getting financingI coach lease-option assignments where you talk to the sellers and show them that when they sell with an agent, pay 10 to 15% of the value of the house to sell, when they add up all the costs: commissions, closing costs, seller concessions, Piti costs while selling, etcSometimes sellers have to pay to get rid of the house or they have no money to move forwardThe solution is lease to own where home owner enters into a lease option with you the real estate investor and then you sell your paperwork to the renter home buyer who was having a hard time getting a mortgage Real estate investor earns generally 3%, 3% of 200,000 is 6 grandPm me if I can helpBrian

I agree most of the good info is here on BP, so that's why I'm bringing most of those folks out ;)  Also, to others' points, it's definitely a hustle when the couple hundred dollar event is just a hint at the education or coaching they can buy for $5k, $10k, $40K++...

And I agree the $197 was well worth the information.....but ditto the 35K asking price for coaching package, I agree (resources) could probably be obtained via Bigger Pockets just as well?

Had to rip out a bunch of tiles the next day to re-do when I noticed that.Another big mistake that I always seem to repeat is hiring my high school students/wrestlers (that I coach) to help me paint.

Like our business coach says, "You're 20 calls away from securing all the funds you need."

I would find another investor in your area who does these types of deals and try to work out a deal where you can learn from him for a few months or a year (perhaps offer your services in return for his coaching).

Coaches do.Mentors are there to help you when you have questions, get stuck or need some advice.
