I see your book has an average of 4.5 star reviews on Amazon so I'm thinking about going that route first. $500 is a lot of money for me right now, but at the same time I want to give myself the best shot for success.

Both Reonomy and Costar have the ability toPull lists of Recent Sales to find buyersPull lists of properties with loans coming dueI am using Reonomy to:Find lists of property owners "likely to sell"I am using Costar to:Obtain city market reports (based on Sales, Economy, Supply & Demand Trends, Vacancy & Rent, Deliveries & Properties Under Construction)Run property valuations with for sale comps and lease compsSearch properties with +15% vacancy and 1-2 star ratingsPull withdrawn and expired Costar listingsI think Costar has more accurate data of ownership and contact information

It is made by stars and the vast majority of it on Earth is in the molten core of the planet and will not be able to be recovered. 

I look at 300 to 400 people  and we know each and everyone of them paid 20 to 30k to be there or per couple.. and yet how many of those are going to make it or even make enough to get their 30k back ... well its all law of averages.. as I sit and look at some and talk to some I see some star's who I think will rise up and grab the brass ring and I see others and talk with others that just have no clue no matter who is training them.. they will fail. 

Account Closed You are a rock star explaining how to work this with MK. 

It will take some time but you will eventually find a rock star agent. they are just harder for newbies to find because they aren't advertising themselves very hard.

After considering it and going over the possible negative implications [ie: I was an agent, fixing up the property [mostly without permits] I did not want that filmed and have a buyer buy the house and have a leak and reference what they saw on the show and I did not pull permits] I decided not to go forward and appear on the show, Stupid - Could of been an HGTV star and never looked back.3.

If you've ever watched the show "Pawn Stars" their formula is always the same.They ask, "What did you want to do with the item?"

There are idiots in every aspect of this business and some all stars too. 

And of course the wholesaler they don't give a crap they are not out anything maybe the whopping 100 bucks hey gave as a EM deposit.Real Estate in my mind is a real business and capital intensive and if your going to play the game you should get some capital behind you in some form so you can do deals without having to have all the stars align.Wholesalers in our market BUY the property.. our markets too hot that only an absolutely uneducated seller would fall for a option to purchase when they could just list and sell and close in 30 days for all cash to a bona fide purchaser...
