I do not honestly understand why anybody would ever give a rat's tail about that, except that maybe, just maybe, some will relate with me on a regular-guy level. 

   #1  Work your tail off#2   Do it smart  (learn from others or take a course)#3  Keep improving your business#4  Hire the best people to run your business.   

(There is only one definition for that word, the world is not grey when it comes to this) I've wholesaled, whole-tailed, flipped, owner financed, BRRR'd and more.

It's been my experience that there are no original ideas out there - and the very few ideas that are "original" quickly get what I would call clingons riding shirt tails (watch the movie "The Big Short" and you'll see exactly what I mean).If you're defining it as not following trends, I'm still not sure how that goes because people are into everything....you've got gold/silver bugs, you've got REIT investors, you got investors that follow master limited partnerships, you've got various aspects of real estate, etc., etc.Personally, I read and digest what other people have done/are doing.  

sell my house"That's it.The data bears this out time and time again - while long-tail keywords are a thing, and you can make money by bidding on them, there is FAR more competition for stuff like "we buy houses" and "sell my house fast" than normal, because other investors all target those keywords.

Then once it’s yours, you market it and resell it as-is.Whole sale tailing: When you get a property under a purchase agreement between yourself and the seller and then actually close.

Probably will be able to start showing to prospective tenants next week during tail end of light rehab. 

I know an idiot that tried to pull a bogus car break in claim and had to tuck his tail between his legs when the insurance company politely asked for a copy of the original purchase receipt (for the supposedly stolen items from the car).. whoops.

Offering exceptionally cheap money and paying expenses won’t help an active flipper if you’re so conservative you’ll only loan at 50% or even 65% LTV.I believe the drop in the rates by some is simply due to a drop in demand from those who are so conservative their business has tailed off, than by a perceived safety they see in a rising market.

Gilbert RossYou have a couple of options:1) Refer the note to an investor and earn a fee at closing.2) Sell the note to an investor and keep some of the payments on the tail-end (aka partial purchase).3) Hypothecate the note - which is a fancy term for using the note as collateral for a loan.4) Use lines of credit - either unsecured or secured (by the notes or real estate assets).5) Joint Venture with someone.6) Tap into self-directed IRA funds.There are lots of sources out there through networking, researching, and directories.
