@Shiloh Lundahl Awesome, thank you ok so having that 10-20k as a buy in is important, to first getting into it.... it helps get those first deals started.... just as an aside : I am also just starting out doing finder's fee methods - with tax foreclosure overages refunds, and assett recovery / state funds refunds... so I think those can help me to get that intial 10-20,000.... it might take me some months, but I think I can get there.... that's my initial plan, at leastAnd if I can get that saved up, then that will help me break into deals....

It isn't the metric you can talk about on a national scale, but if you keep buying the same product in the same area it is a very easy quick and dirty method to know how you are doing compared to other buys. 

Each method has a cost in both time and money.  

The coaching for Jonathan's The Land Method is NOT substantially cheaper. 

My interest are house flipping and the BRRRR method.

Most who try to replace their W2 income invest in less sustainable investment methods: investing in lower tier neighborhoods that cash flow well in spreadsheets or flipping homes.

Anthony,You would be surprised by using some old school methods like simply writing a letter like you mentioned.
