You will meet a lot of great people here that will help you on your journey. 

The #1 resource for me has been other investors. 

We are about to put in $15-$20k of our own money into it, beyond what insurance covered and I need help deciding how we should finance it. 

This is a great place to learn and to connect with people so take advantage of all the great resources.

Quote from @Shawn Questa: Hi all,I am curious what some of the Pros would do to Help a Seller in this situation while making a Deal happen.I found a 200+ day old MLS Listing where the Agent said the Seller is in Financial Ruin, hasn't Paid the Mortgage in a year, owes about 180k on an approx. 210k House and multiple Buyers have backed out.I don't know how someone could not Pay their Note in a year and not at least be in Pre-foreclosure. 

Between the resources that you build on these courses and MIchael Blank's tool, I am more than capable of underwriting deals very efficiently.

I don't know if coaching will help or not.
