you can find all the info online"...it's like, no sh*t you can...all the information ever is online!

Have these guys ever heard of Quicken or any of the online personal finance programs available to track spending?

Yes we tried everything, and Yes I know now that wasn't the best play haha. 

I found an auction person, and I see listings online.

If you don’t, then it’s time to start contacting the wholesaler(s) whose cash buyer’s lists you will be utilizing, any agents who have cash buyer’s lists, or fill out the form online and partner up with the Flip Man.Ideally, you want to get a cash buyer and have them sign the assignment contract within 1-3 days after getting a property under contract.

Once you master it, its an awesome tool.Like the other members say, you can easily find it online, however, i strongly recommend you watch the videos (that come with the calculator when you buy it for a lil over $100) so you can learn how to use it properly.

Expect any step needs to play well w/1031.

Hi all,I am new to the online community but have been listening to bigger pockets podcasts for years.

My humble advice to anyone attempting to do creative finance is:Creative finance is for experienced investors who have access to capital if anything goes wrong.Learn the lawsDon't use a contract "off the internet", laws vary by state and are also regulated on a federal levelLearn the financing techniques correctlyDon’t skip parts of the processDon’t ever do a “kitchen table” closingUse the proper deedAn attorney can help you with the legal work, but the rest you are on your ownYour guru will not bail you out“Investing” in someone else’s deal by providing a small 2nd loan so the “investor” can pay for “cash to the seller” and for “closing costs” so he can do the deal is a very bad planKnow what problems can ariseLearn the responses and solutions to problems before they are neededKnow everything there is to know about Title and what that meansKnow who a "protected class" individual isLearn the "back doors"Learn human natureUnderstand timelinesUnderstand regulation enforcement (some of these "mistakes" have a 10 year statue of limitations ( they can charge you 10 years AFTER you do the transaction) and carry hefty fines and possible imprisonmentThe court doesn't accept "I didn't know" for an answer"Know that the source of the lead plays a serious role in some states and federallyKnow how much of a "profit" pushes the boundaries to invite an investigationYou can be sued by the seller if you don’t do things correctlyYou are automatically at fault if an investigator or attorney or regulator gets involved.

It's the basic formula for selling an online course that teaches you nothing you cannot learn on your own.
