Anyways...I am so HOOKED on the concept of Wholesaling that I think about it 24/7....ugh...Anyways, if all my $25,000 ends up doing is sinking this HUGE seed in my heart and leading me to Wholesalers Inc. which led me to BiggerPockets, then it was worth every penny!!

That led me to a low-paying, salaried job of finding deals and writing offers for a broker-owner investor who covered my living expenses with some commission incentives.

It tends to be pretty sophisticated investors and we pick a topic beforehand and then let conversation led the group.There is also another group that met once I do not know if it is going to meet again. 

That led to.. the day after I met Josh and Brandon at a meetup I hosted in San Francisco in Feb 2014, I announced on BP I would be hosting a Summit in SF, and November of 2014, I got to see you, meet @Brie Schmidt, @Marcia Maynard, @Jonna Weber, and so many other great investors.

but that led me into selling land only and controlling my deals and learning about development and into money lending which i far prefer over dealing with transnational real estate being sold to the public. 

I'm not sure what type of research has led you to a Duplex, but I would advise you to move forward with caution.  

Agreed, sounds like you didn't perfect your security interest in the property, if it was the borrower who devised this loan and escrowed quit claim deed that was worthless, you need to see an attorney and might throw in fraud as to what they led you to believe.

I'm wondering what led you to choose Milwaukee?

I believe it was his website that led me to BP.
