The path I want to take is working with motivated sellers who are willing to provide seller financing while transferring the deed so then I can then resell the the deed to a motivated buyer and in turn for me become the bank that controls a note on the property.I have found guru course out there like Ian Flannigan's "Hidden Cash Flow Fortunes" which cost a arm and a leg ($1,497) to get started with.

Welcome to BP @Michael Daggett I an sure a moderator will chime in but I am pretty sure this post belongs in the Marketplace.

Originally posted by @Ian Hoover:Hello BP,I am involved (somewhat) on a deal that the septic tank is working but whoever installed it did not follow todays standards for the leach field.There has been some crazy numbers thrown out on fixing the issue because of how the property sits on a hill (welcome to Pittsburgh), my question is are there any alternatives to a septic tank?

@Ian Ippolito is also a great resource (and he blogs about this a lot).

Control real estate - that's what agents do when they list a property - they have it controlled.If your goal is to make money assigning real estate - get yourself out there in the market and find sellers who are truly motivated - agents are gate keeps - they want to keep you from talking and negotiating with sellers - you don't need that starting out.I have been an agent/broker now for well over 40 years - I buy, make offers and control real estate - I do much these activities without money and without agents - it is just too difficult trying to make a profit what agents are involved - unless you have lots of money and will to be controlled.Please - understand - I an not saying agent are bad - I only want you to know that is not easy.Go find some really motivated sellers, sit in rent and housing court every other day for a few houses, knock on the doors of sellers where there was a listing, now it is expired.

@Ian Oxender That's a great start for you guys, congrats on a successful beginning.You can meet local wholesalers, landlords and other investors at the Dayton REI Meetup.If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.

I am interested in the BRRRR strategy and also out of state investing using conventional mortgages but want to get the best terms possible, and know that I an working with a lender who will refi when the time is right (after new ARV, seasoning, etc).

Hi @Khaliq KingI can't speak to Florida but in NY I an not legally allowed to give a referral fee to any unlicensed individual.

@Ian Walsh - I understand a lender wanting 1st position in certain situations - Just suprised some HML refuse to do 2nds - especially with a deal holding more than enough equity to protect the lenders - even in as in condition. 

My buddy @Ian Middleton and I have recently adopted a spot right at that very intersection as our breakfast meeting spot.
