Matt Theriault's Podcast, Epic Real Estate Investing, has been a huge eye opener and I highly recommend it.Despite all of my reading, up until about a month ago, I didn't even realize that wholesaling properties was a "thing."

I can only imagine what that would cost, but would make for an epic story for life!

Podcasts are huge... just type real estate into iTunes podcasts and you'll get enough real estate investing podcasts to keep you busy for the rest of your days.A few I really like are:BiggerPockets (of course)Sean Terry's Flip2FreedomJoe McCall's Real Estate Investing MasteryMatt Theriault's Epic Real Estate InvestingThe Real Estate Guys Radio PodcastLifestyles UnlimitedCheck some of these out... all of them if you have the time!

I have a deal closing this week or next that I setup that will profit $7k (assignment fee) on that I got under contract for $15k and I have another property that I will be lucky to make anything on (maybe $1k-$2k)that I have under contract for $30k (I'm helping the seller because she really needs it and wrong an epic letter begging for my help).

I've just signed up for Matt Theriault's Epic Pro Academy.

@Dave Van Horn Thanks for the epic pointers on getting started.

good plan and I agree I don't think we will see and epic meltdown like the GREAT GFC again at least in my lifetime.. if we do I may not survive another one... :)

. : )Plenty of cheap houses to buy just be sure that you don't have to get tons of different managers with the portfolio as that is a logistic nightmare of epic proportions.

If so I would take current rent at 990 X 12 = 11,880 11,880 X .40 ( 60% costs) = 4,752 NOI 47,520 sales price at a 10 cap with no deferred maintenance. 47,520 - 20,000 ( estimate repairs but probably worse) = 27,520 purchase This one is a loser of epic proportions.
