I always steer clear of Angie's List, Yelp, BP Vendor, Dave Ramsey Select Vendors, or any other service that charges the vendor for membership and then promotes the list to the public as if trust, excellence, and performance have ANYTHING to do with the list selection.

Nowhere is wholesaling the attractive “lifestyle” promoted by people with something to sell you.  

Two new posters here and the first thing you trying to do is to promote your $39 a month software?

So doing this stuff is VERY ineffective and a bad use of time UNLESS you are like me and helping others is a life purpose for you.Also check their social media, if all you see is them promoting their guru programs, then you know THAT is all they are.

Also is there a way to increase your income with a second job, a promotion to increase your monthly income to save more for reserves or another down payment? 

This gives the owner client peace of mind as well as some protection.Non-humble self promotion: I own and operate Blue Door Residential Property Management (and am fully licensed) and would be happy to talk about your needs if you want to shoot me a PM.

Building positive relationships with tenants can increase their retention and reduce turnover, promoting consistent rental income.Consider FHA loans with lower down payment requirements if you're starting with limited capital.

I watched Pace's webinar to promote the program, and he consistently claims you make $1500-$3000 when lending $1k.

It'a cheap for a reason (although a lot of the stuff promoted to foreign investors looks cheap but is in fact expensive).
