Thank you,Phil Don’t have any experience with the mentioned mentors, but I do have 45 years experience in commercial real estate investing.Flipping (wholesaling) commercial properties require the same base of knowledge (real estate principles, real estate law and real estate finance) that is a foundational requirement for flipping residential properties; PLUS, extensive knowledge of the commercial property TYPE one is trying to engage with, and extensive knowledge of the local real estate market for the subject property type.

Know the rules of the sale, some sales wipe out liens, some do NOT, some require only cash payments, others won't accept cash, personal checks or business checks, some require pre-registration, some require that the bidder can't owe delinquent taxes on any property, some vet the bidders for state and Federal liens,.....2.
