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.

I looked at about half of those resources and realized that you had no clue what you were talking about.

I'm trying to glean "where can I learn this from" I picked up a couple of pieces of info : "Note Investor", and "Passive Pockets" -- what other little nuggets, and bits and clues of information can you give ? 

Agents will not have a clue what you are talking about.

I have not clue about this company but if their collateral was all defaulted junior paper and you have this situation  my experience tells me it will be a full wipe out for the investors and the owners of the company might tube it also..

I have no clue what they think they signed up for and as you mentioned I suspect many did not fully understand it.

oh pleaseCA ran out of water...... do you have ANY clue what kind of water delivery system would be needed to handle multiple wild fires of this magnitude?....

@V.G Jason I have no clue.

Why in the world would I want a 1,000 people I have to mentor that have no clue what they are doing for say 5k a pop.

I have no clue on insurance, but appraisers should treat the property different if you plan to add a few more rooms.
