I find that Bigger Pockets is a very high integrity/character company and generally does a wonderful job of weeding out the huckster gurus peddling their wares to folks that need a shortcut. 

The latter points I have more in depth experience with given my space in the FO realm.I rarely seen them work, and my two cents is just-- an opinion.

You don't need to use a title company and pay fees, you just need to proper paper work and quit claim deed.

I'm not an attorney or expert in AP specifically, but do have a working knowledge of it for Civil engineering/survey work and have had two projects where this came up and I was able to 'ride along' and see how it unfolded.First, if you 'know' the property has been taken by AP then there's nothing for you to do with the tax assessor etc.

Good contractors want to be able to guarantee their work, and if you are providing them with garbage materials they can't do that.

I had no money to put down on any properties, so I learned (a lot) and put in a lot of hard work and effort to get some properties under contract.Initially, I had no clue what I was doing, but I had the help of some people (and I appreciated that)I made mistakes that cost me around $30k (lost a deal due to my ignorance regarding title and escrow)The good news with wholesaling is that it doesn't take a lot of capital upfront, and you can start talking to sellers and learn about the industry in general.The other good news is that you can without a doubt generate revenue quickly if you do things correctly (having a good TC / title / escrow connection that keeps deals moving on the backend)That said, there are a few points that I've come to live by:1.

If someone doesn't want to do the work and put in the time to invest in RE, stocks and index funds is probably the better way to go - I've stopped trying to convince my friends (the mortgage free people) the benefits of RE. 

It might be a situation where you are digging a manageable hole that you can work and earn your way out of, but be honest with yourself.

I’m committed to putting in the work and making things happen, and I’m looking forward to being part of this great community.Thanks for having me!

I question if you recognize the work and risk necessary to succeed in the current local market.
