@Peter FuentesLike many people who have a newly found interest in real estate investing, you are looking for the shortcut, easy way, the goose that laid the golden egg.I would try educating yourself about the industry, picking a strategy that you can make a billion dollars doing so, figure out how you can get the this point, make a plan of action and then follow it.I will tell you that from my experience there is no short cut, there is no magic answer, there is no easy way to make a billion dollars. 

To many shortcuts to maximize returns at the expense of consumer. 

There is no shortcut.

A wise investor will not try to get rich quick with shortcuts.

Thanks, Jon Lane There are no tricks or short cuts.

But I know it’s still going to take some time so I just wanted to know if there are any short cuts in financing that could possibly be done without any recent success in flipping home?

I also will say that while the 50% and 1% rule are good short cuts when looking at a deal initially you want to make sure and drill down and lay out all of the numbers in detail as every property and city is different.

It's nuts and it is not without risks, but you'll likely be better off proverbially picking up the phone, dialing the number, and figuring out along the way.I don't say this to promote folly or haphazard investing; but rather to help lower the bar in your mind. 

Spoke with a real estate attorney who said the shortcut way would be to find the heirs and have them sign quit claim deed and affidavit.
