I have successfully used a couple of techniques that Rich discussed in his book so this book clicked with me. 

If anyone has any comments, hints, techniques, or a list that they have made (idiot sheet) that they would have in front of them when they make this level of phone call I would greatly appreciate it.

Whether it’s learning advanced investing techniques or better utilization of your credit, an investing coach can show you multiple options for getting where you want to go.

Does anyone know this technique?

In the beginning you may have to slow down as you re-learn a new area and technique but if you're put into a lower priced area those cash reserves could kick start you on your way.

keep applying this technique by recycling the initial $50k that you have.If you utilize this method of getting in under 70% ARV and refinancing the deal each time, it really doesn't matter if the initial loan is FHA, 3% -25% conventional or any other loan product.  

Would love to exchange some ideas, techniques, etc. at some point in the near future.

And successful people in both fields tend to build up their skills, contacts, techniques, and abilities over time, so you would be hitting the learning curve hard on a first flip (and it could entail some risk). 

They may have a new technique, or move to a new market, and with that they can include you in on that.

There are innundating numbers of other forums and real estate mentor programs and techniques out there.
