Noone bring me any REALLY good deals for the next 1-15 days, or I am subject to counter claims...Real estate industry.... get your act together.

Though I would caution you on hard money lending until you understand the industry a bit better, that can be very rewarding but you have to be able to do your due diligence on deals because you're turning over your hard-earned money to an individuals project, often a flip. 

I've never seen anything like this in 15 years of being in the industry.  

This is where I'm very inexperinced and don't understand what is standard for industry or what could potentially bite me down the road.

@Chris Morris have ALWAYS seen bad "deals" from rookie wholesalers that really don't understand what they are doing to provide value to the industry.It's getting worse because the real estate market has recovered from the 2010 Crash, yet many are still using tactics & methods developed during this time.Everyone in the industry needs to go back and look at what was being done BEFORE 2010 and start using those methods, updating them with current technology.

And communications from REI is far above the industry average that I can tell you.SFR rentals are not a get rich quick or cash flow to live off of.

I am also really interested in the stock market and the real estate industry! 

So right now our main goal is the cash flow because in the end that is the way we will be able to move up in the real estate industry. 

It's really sad there are so many weasels in our industry but there are probably just as many in all industries, I suppose.

We neeed licensing for wholesalers as well as the banking and mortgage industry to start calling more notes due.
