I've been gleaning info from BP as an outsider for a while...finally took action to join and I'm definitely impressed by the wealth of knowledge people have.

A good start would be to invest a couple of hours reading up on the legal process in the applicable states.Yes, lots of people give 'wholesaling' a try but few succeed without sufficient fundamental knowledge, especially legal aspects and marketing (the key to Dealflow).And I'd love to be in contact with any homeowner approached by a law firm employee who gleaned their information and was offered foreclosure assistance.

I've gleaned a lot of knowledge from the expertise on BP.

If you could get tied into that, I'm sure there would be a ton of local knowledge to glean from.I live in Colorado Springs, but I'm actually looking to invest down in southern Colorado.

We gleaned our information from a paid legal service a couple of days before the article you are referring to went up.

All of that info can be gleaned in a few minutes for free on the web (Zillow, County tax records, etc, etc).

You can even contact the guest of that podcast personally to glean even more info....absolutely priceless.

I glean a lot when people respond, thanks!

2) If I consult an end buyer to glean his/her expertise on numbers BEFORE I have the property under contract am I truly acting as a broker and am I doing something illegal?

Also, I wanted to thank all of you for the invaluable information I have gleaned from BP already!
