So, once you start finding actual deals and can easily present them as deals to others, you can decide whether to:1) Wholesale for quick cash.

Overall, it’s an excellent solution for smaller portfolios because you can easily spot any discrepancies.

My biggest fear is that if I ever were to quit my job, I would no longer be able to invest in more real estate (not sure if I would qualify for loans as easily). 

You can likely find some of these close to where you live and can more easily find deals on these.

My credit is poor right now but can easily be improved as my income is much better lately. 

Im at base pay since I Just started, top pay at this job is at 5 years and we make 100k base pay, there are guys easily clearing 160k due to OT and other extra money functions. we also have a lot of opportunity to move up in position, Supervisors clear 230k like nothing so right now I'm not making much but long term this is one of the best city jobs to work.

These course providers tend to sell their customer base on  unrealistic expectations or teach the most basic of concepts which are easily picked up through a book or merely browsing through these forums.  

Their filter is way to strong as well as you cant say if a property is not accepting section 8 and can't use the word glass.  

My only hurdle is the fact that I don't know the Real Estate Investing industry that well, so I don't know where or how to find the right documents for my wholesaling transactions.I've began generating pre-foreclosure leads, which I am able to filter out just ones with high equity, owner occupied, and no auction date, yet.

I can easily get us personally another “vetted” 20mm.
