The fix-up TV shows and flipping gurus have a special habit of making wall removal sound like a piece of cake, it isn't.

My options are to take courses on weekends or online and study at my leisure.

It's quite interesting that the TV show didn't vet the guy.Google "georgia real estate license lookup" to get http://www.grec.state.ga.us/clsweb/realestate.aspx then put in his name.

Hubby is successful wife is board but loves HG TV and wants to sell houses.. ( many times these ladies end up your top producer and make a bunch of dough)  I know I certainly support my wifes efforts LOL...

I associate almost every ad I see on TV and all the stuff that guys try and sell you, like Mark Cuban does...Snake Oil.

I'm from Los Angeles, originally from Florida, and work in the TV business.  

Word of mouth, internet PPC, instagram, Facebook, mailers, radio, TV, go to REI Groups, Website, Host free classes and about 10 other ways you can market to the right people.How many times do you post to Facebook and instagram every week??

I guess its a little more mainstream these days with the TV shows- I do drop "I buy and sell houses for a living" sometimes, which gets "oh, you're a flipper?"

Don't be afraid, it's not like on TV where it turns into a bidding war.

Door knocking, building data lists, cold calling, running TV commercials, radio ads, PPC, Facebook ads, and all the other forms of marketing we do aren’t always what an investor wants to spend time with.
