The players in these notes have millions , or tens of millions, in cash and don't look for their product on message boards and social media sites.

The biggest wholesalers in town only wholesale to a small handful of players for this reason. 

On a first glance, it reeks of those Nigerian scam letters and that IS NOT a good thing, especially when you are trying to break into the real estate game with a bunch of hardened players assuming everybody is trying to game them. 

Unknown player?  

A cheat sheet for THAT; the CFPB is the quarterback, the SEC, FDIC, OCC, etc. are all players, the owner is the Treasury Department, the ball is financial transactions, the goal line is the safety and soundness of our financial economy.

I would say they are good if you have less then 6 properties (1-6 mortgages)as far as non traditional mortgages, I found there are several players that lend at 6%-7% with approx $2,000-$4,000 costs (between attorney, insurance, origination fees appraisal etc).

wish I was that far into the game....it's a slippery slope so I m taking it slow making sure As best I can I m surrounded w the best and smartest people.. getting to no the pretenders from the honest players.

Down the road it can save you a lot of money in agent fees if you can buy and list things yourself.I'd also check out what meetups are in your area, try to start schmoozing and networking with the players in your market. 

The bigger players in our market that I know all BUY their inventory.

But to never be a player in the RE Monopoly game-not likely.
