Thanks Swanny,Looked for the book on Audible, BP Store and my library.

Some short answers to your questions:1) Convince to listen to some podcasts2) Really up to you and what you find available that works3) You will still need to be involved since it's your property4) I'd stay fresh of what's going on in your market, run the numbers on your criteria and practice finding "a deal"Lastly, some resources I've enjoyed:PodcastsEpisode 108 - Grant Cardone...

I am a buyer for all 10 of our stores.

Another one vacant 4/2.5 for 42k I sold at the S.Sale for 60k in 7months and a third I bought for 4,200 that is a commercial corner I'm in the process of selling to a convenience store for 100k.

Just an FYI if it is a nest in the ground you can go buy Permethrin powder at a farm supply, horse supply store or Tractor supply store for $5-$8 a bottle and just dust the ground.
