I believe it is safe to say that Bernard "Barney" Zick has been vary influential to the success of many investors with his strong leadership and his own articulate delivery of education to so many will be of lasting value to many.Teaching is a balancing act: placing expectations on the student and becoming engaged with students requires a seriousness of purpose and a playfulness in approach that is more easily described than carried out.

If you are good enough to make 5K a month wholesaling...what I call the "short money"...you're missing the bigger picture of the real estate business.The long money...the continue cash flow from owning a free and clear rental property whose rents continue rise with inflation...is the big payoff of real estate.Let's get real...if you find properties others are willing to pay you cash for...you just sold away a lot of expertise and effort for pennies on the dollar.Get in this business for real and quit chasing the "fast but short buck".Or at the very least, stop calling it "investing"...Take some words of wisdom from Warren Buffet:We believe that according the name 'investors' to institutions that trade actively is like calling someone who repeatedly engages in one-night stands a 'romantic.'
