There is a lot of information available but I believe there are a few gaps I need.

I've been a fan of Cardone for years for more than just his REI information.

I want INFORMED clients.

Welcome to the community and be ready for a huge amount of information at your finger tips.

Thanks Ken, this is all very valuable information.

If you’re referring to the “newbies” with $10k to their name that watch a video by Pace and get excited and pay for joining, go out with their last $5k and do a sub to with a “desperate” homeowner without revealing all the possible consequences (because they are unaware of the consequences through lack of experience and lack of knowledge and or choose not to inform the seller) then I agree, it’s probably going to turn out badly for all concerned.If on the other hand you’re referring to a seasoned investor with excellent credit, significant cash reserves, who wants to add a property to their portfolio without going through loan qualifying, and can pay enough to give the seller “walking away” money because of the low existing interest rates and or, and is dealing with a informed seller, then I find nothing wrong or negative about the transaction.  

Best people stay informed anyway.

Zillow has a lot of valuable information, but keep in mind that it's algorythms don't work in every market. 

That’s IF the lender decides NOT to pursue a strategy of bankrupting the borrower by filing a ton of paperwork, motions, requests for information, etc.  

Most of the one bedrooms that I have seen in the area seem to be going for 800-950 so I don't think I would have much of a problem, but I definitely want to be well informed before proceeding with this.
