Look up Brandon Tunrner's podcast/webinar video "the 90 DAY CHALLENGE"Learn how to find deals (driving neighborhoods or surfing the web for dollars - or deals)Learn how to run the numbers from those addresses in a calculator (you can find smartphone apps to plug the numbers in, and BP offers calculators but you have to be a Pro member) to find out what the magic number is.Personally, for now, I'll be bringing deals I find to my mentor, and we will proceed together.Extra information on all those topics can be found in forums and podcasts.
