Definitely also what Rich said, I have seen some fantastic deals but just wasn't in a position to buy at the time.Lastly and this may be #1 above tenants trying to give you the run around, that damn leak that happens to pop up at the worst time or the leak that you can never seem to find easily!!!

Making a cover to keep every stray pop bottle and gobs of tree leaves is most difficult.

If the government wants to help income inequality what better way than giving "mom and pop" investors the chance at building wealth by purchasing income property?

Then take your monthly nut to get the amount of months you can survive without doing a deal.Then figure what your average deal is.For a wholesaler it might be 1k to 2k a pop but I am not one but this is what I hear.So if you need 8 k to break even every month that is 4 to 5 deals average at 1k to 2k a pop.Good Luck

Seems like this combined with the government plan to sell Freddie/Fannie foreclosures REOs (many being SFHs) in bulk to huge investors/corporations that will supposedly rent them out, means big business/government is taking over what once was the domain of the "mom and pop" investor.

So you really believe this guru has a great idea that can make you 100K at a pop but you are not willing to pay the 1K to him for the full plan?

If you do not know the lingo, do not come across as experienced, say the wrong thing, or not have a personality good enough over the phone to "make them like you", you will likely not get very far.I formed many relationships with REO brokers by driving neighborhoods, calling on signs of their listings (you can also look up listings of REO's in your area and when the same list agent/broker keeps popping up, that is likely a good start) to inquire about the property.

"Hard up-sell to a 40K+ "mentorship".I do not know Than so can't comment on them.They were always entertaining to watch on TV.It sounds like to me at 40k a pop times 100 you would get 4,000,000 cash.Sounds like they take cash from coaching to fund more of their private deals.It's cheap money versus finding private or hard money.

This usually allows the BP members to pop in say a few things and continue browsing.
