But if you like the field and enjoy learning, and can obtain this degree relatively low-cost (I spent virtually nothing on my Masters - I got a scholarship and a fellowship), you're investing in yourself, which is the best investment you'll ever make. 

I want to start virtual wholesaling and was wondering how i could go about finding people who could help me negotiate deals over the phone.

Likely to be cheaper RE cost then virtually all other local options, check. 

Looking for a HELOC from a bank is almost a virtual non starter with 0 income.. but a cash out with certain lenders is still a possibility You would be looking at rates between 6% to 8% at best (At least those are the numbers that we use) a 30 year loan or short term interest only loan would be your options

I do virtually nothing for the nicer 2 houses. 

Secondly, how do one find a virtual assistant that one can trust and use for the pre-qualifying aspect of the process.

Virtually no one wants to loose their home.  

Priced out of CA investing and looking to go out of state I have been to KC and really like the city but its virtually impossible to get around the whole city and see all areas.

I WANT TO START VIRTUAL WHOLESALING..i would like to know the best program that is out there to get started

Hi Richard and Matt, I'm interested in finding 2-6 other guys to form a mastermind with (1M+, similar to GoBundance), focused on all aspects of life, business and money included (US based, Virtual: Google Hangouts, Zoom, or FaceTime, etc).
