Yea I would definitely stay away from buying courses especially since wholesaling is beng talked about all over youtube you can just type in wholesaling and there is tons of info (for free may I add) on wholesaling and takes some ppl take thier audience on actual live meetings with potential clients to give you more insight on how to talk to sellers etc.

A front porch, or wrap-around if the budget could extend to it, would transform that house.

While attending school I've discovered that its not the route for me.I'm brand new to RE investing but have been watching youtube videos on leveraging, profitable cash flows, etc etc.I have bad credit due to past family altercations (sub 670) so financing is out of the question, but am debt free.So here is my situation, I have a business partner who owns a construction company and is willing to front all the labor costs of rehabing properties as long as we split costs of materials 50/50.

If you're a newbie, I believe it is an absolute basic requirement.Not only will it help clear up some outstanding issues and provide a detailed step-by-step procedure, but also the speakers, Shirley Henderson in particular, offer some valuable tips I have yet to see in any book, YouTube video, etc., or anyone here on bigger pockets.For instance, they will go over the process of double closing, how is totally unnecessary and why only newbie wholesalers would consider it.

Also, I personally find it very beneficial to watch videos on YouTube.
