Here are a few suggestions on how you can maximize the wealth of information available: Check out the blogs and podcasts, or take advantage of the search feature (magnifying glass).

Your scenario is possible but not probable...admittedly I have never done what you suggest I've been the seller financing sales in my IRA, but I have read several BP contributors that have substituted collateral.

I've been informed that completing the course alone may not be sufficient to pass the exam, so I’m seeking advice on how to prepare effectively once I complete it.Currently, my only other resources include a YouTube video, five practice exams, and a textbook.If you have any additional suggestions—whether online or in-person, paid or free—that could help me effectively prepare for the exam, I would greatly appreciate them.

I'm not too familiar with the markets yet but research I've done suggests that the towns of New Britain, New Haven and Hartford all have a good mix of inventory and low prices coupled with plenty of amenities, night life, cafes, etc and local colleges to bring younger people to the area year after year.

Make offers, then when someone says they will consider Creative Finance, that's when you make the suggestion.

I do suggest Columbus Ohio!

Again, this topic can be discussed AT LENGTH as well so let me know if you want to go further into it.My suggestion to every new investor is to trust your instinct.
