I've been hearing about a number of solid programs.

Books like “The Millionaire Real Estate Investor” by Gary Keller, “Rich Dad Poor Dad” by Robert Kiyosaki, or “The Book on Rental Property Investing” by Brandon Turner can give you a solid foundation in REI strategies, including wholesaling.Most of the content offered in coaching programs can be found in books, free webinars, forums like BiggerPockets, and YouTube channels.

Seriously though, if you haven't already get your self a solid real estate-focused tax professional in your corner.
