You can try getting seller financing if you find the right deal.If you can find another job you like better e.g. construction, property management, real estate agent that allows you to learn some aspect of REI and is close to the income you are currently making with better hours seems like a win win.In the mean time listen to podcasts and RE / Business books on tape (many can be borrowed from your library) to make your commute useful time.

Whereas, some of the newer players might guest for free, or might even pay BP, for the exposure to potential investors.Anyone in the know about this?

Harold and EsmeraldaLinda and Andrew at Homes for the Win have monthly meetups.

I especially like to create win-win scenarios like JV deals and other ways to work cooperatively to source deals and/or bring them to completion. 

I honestly don't like wholesaling because it's a lose for the seller and a win for the buyers.

I'm going to keep my personal things pretty limited... record player, clothes, pictures....

If not then win for you.

For owner occupant homes you need to live in it if you win it.  

Persist and you will WIN!!

Way to get in the game and start winning !
