This software claims to scour the internet finding deals for you, in a fraction of the time it would take for you to look for them yourself.Now, I didn't expect this software to perform any magic, but I was curious if it would bring me a nice, neat compilation of off-market properties in the areas I am interested in.

there is bot one magic solution… I just deleted an email from the MLS that would be a perfect flip close to your location… Foreclosure auctions are a good place to start also, but would require substantial knowledge -  and without that knowledge, your risk would be exponentially higher than purchasing from the MLS -  partnering is also a good place to start if you can find someone willing to take you under their wing -  The bottom line---you don't know if you can swim until you jump in the water 

I would love to find a mentor in the Atlanta area to partner with on my first few deals, so that I can learn more...but I have also heard so many horror stories about mentors who charge a few thousand (which is way less than the guru's but still a lot of money) and then they magically disappear.Does anyone have advice on finding a good mentor in Atlanta to partner with?

Since we are wanting to start getting into multi family units...what is the different thing that happens once you hit that magical 5 unit mark?  

There's no magic here.....it's based on your ability to save $10k every few months and paying that toward your mortgage.  

My favorite is your Magic Power to be Rich,it has all 3 books condensed in 1

If they give you a reason to fear for your life, press the magic button and we will come out clean up the mess and apologize"I did just that, in the middle of the night after a 9-hour drive.
