But, It isn't normal.I check in on the 5 - 20 wholesale gurus (there are 7 in the Phoenixmarket) that have active youtube channels.

Here's what I'm thinking you might love from BiggerPockets content - Noah has a great youtube series called "How I started" interviewing people about how they found and purchased their first deals - https://youtube.com/playlist?

I would go to youtube and search Avery Carl Enemy Method

I've been relentlessly researching all things real estate over the past couple years - reading countless books, watching hundreds of hours of YouTube videos, listening to thousands of hours of podcasts, etc.

Sometimes they will record for youtube.1REClub- http://jimmyvreed.com/network/...

That to me is a huge red flag, but investors will still invest because they like their youtube videos. 

You can also watch Jaren Barns on youtube and there's a few other guys that do it too.

My advice to people Who are interested in this automation is to get one or two assignment wholesaling deals under your belt or at least five to $10,000 of profitable flips before joining that being said it will give you disposable income to throw in invest into a system in which you can market however if you haven’t made not even one deal at least get one under your belt through you know Facebook channels YouTube craigslist your local tax liens whatever you can do at least get one even if you have to co Wholesale with somebody Truth to the matter is people are in constant search for that get rich quick automation tool where they could have little or no experience and just generate money and that is entirely possible however you need to perfect the craft of marketing or hire somebody who can.

I've  seen Finance Cowboy's (Jaren Sustar's) videos in my Instagram news feed and watched a couple of his YouTube videos.

Search BiggerPockets for Dave Meyers, or watch some of his videos on YouTube.
