See http://www.briangibbonsreicoach.com/biggerpockets/I would also recommend Chapter 10 Creative Financing from the book "Shift" by Gary Keller of Keller Williams Book Link http://www.amazon.com/Shift-Estate-Agents-Tackle-T...If I'm working with a broker, I usually give the broker that book by Gary Keller.If you need to talk about marketing and negotiating to sellers PM me.Best wishes,Brian

And does anyone have any suggestions to resources I can exhaust to decide which type I should tackle first?

Many great ideas are shared, which should get your brain to churning to come up with even more or ways to tackle some opportunities you have already come across.Power of Negotiating by Jimmy Napier is another terrific investment.

Subjects that I'm really trying to tackle:1.  

Always happy to network with a fellow New Yorker looking to tackle out of state investing

I will tackle this and learn the same way I learned residential investing--ask lots of questions, make plenty of mistakes and move forward. 

Look for active rehabbers and propose to them that if they have deals they can't tackle (either too busy, short on funds, etc) that you would be willing to buy it from them and they make a quick buck.   

Get with an attorney owned title company who isn’t scared to tackle creative finance deals.

Then tackle the local real estate associations or groups.Let me know if you have any questions.Regards,Joe Scorese

I just don't yet have the funds or experience to tackle it myself, but much desire!
