@Alfred Swindell education is education... you can get it any way you want.... if you want to pay for it pay for it.. if you want it for free your at the right place..there is nothing new in Real estate basics there are new laws for sure.. on line or a place like BP is not the place to learn the laws.. just look at any wholesaling thread  :)But one needs to have a reality check... for whatever reason and its promulgated here and with guru's  there is this fascination that our industry is a no money no credit get rich industry.. and well that may be true in some rare instance's its not reality.

The speaker spent 90% of the time talking about how "rich" he is because he is smarter than us.  

Real Estate is not a get rich quick scheme but it can very easily be a get rich slow program if you want it bad enough. 

Hello,so I recently got under contract the following property located in Southern Utah (well, we're still waiting for the bank to countersign, but they gave their verbal approval):- Fourplex built in 1996, 5400 sf total (so each unit about 1350 sf)- 2 stories - 2 units downstairs and 2 upstairs- Short Sale- Contract price: $51k- 3 units rented at average of $550/month (market rent, if fixed up: $600), 4th unit unhabitable- ARV if there wasn't a foundation issue (which needs to be disclosed to a future buyer) would be somewhere between $250 and $300k- Value of the land (about 0.25 acres): $10kThe property was apparently built on soil that is rich in gypsum, and the proper procedures were not followed at the time (the proper procedure is apparently to excavate the soil down to a certain depth, then replace it with new soil that does not contain gypsum).Poor drainage around the building caused water to get into the ground, which washed out the gypsum and the property started sinking.

It is sort of like asking a rich person "what do you do?"

I would recommend 10X by Grant Cardone, Rich Dad Poor Dad, and the richest man in babylon.There is also a ton of great material on this site.

He was a "Rich Dad Poor Dad contributor". 

@Rich Weese was doing this in TX a few years ago and he has a number of posts about it that you can find in this next thread:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/41/topics/689...

When I say recently, I mean I read "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" two months ago.

and remember you get rich over the long haul not in an instant
