I have a few specific 'how to' books I've read that I like:Flip by Clay Davis/Gary KellerMillionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary KellerSome of the rich dad stuff is OK, not really nuts and bolts how to stuff however.For a lot less money than that school, we can get you moving forward:1. join local REIA, network network network2. actively read and participate here as much as possible3. read everything you can get your hands on4. find an investor or realtor who will let you do some work for them for free or little money to learn the ropes5. take action steps every day, read, talk, network, do

We are both employed full-time (this month anyway) and we have 2 small kids...time is not abundant right now.Soooo, my first question to all of you is:Are we nuts?

Our actions in a nut shell.1) Great team, good to go.2) In and out in 4 weeks or less.3) During the flip, find the next one.4) No property remains in Hard Money for more than 120 days.5) Sell for less than comps, open house etc. etc.We have a written plan, all of us will do what we are supposed to do and as soon as we know our plan is good, stick to it and move on to the next one.

It was more like "squirt" from a garden hose.He had me stop by a couple jobs he did (Barns and a Fruit Warehouse).
