There are many great wholesaling programs out there.

And there are conventional loan programs where you only have to put 3 or 5 percent down.To get these low down payment options you must live in the house.

Have a program.

Has anybody had their rental property inspected per the Rental Housing Inspection Program in Citrus Heights ?

That's all wholesaling is as it's taught in these programs, it's brokering real estate except instead of being up front & telling the distressed seller that you'll sell their property for X amount & take X amount as your commission / fee you are taught to lie to the seller & pretend you are going to buy the property while you secretly attempt to "assign" your contract.It doesn't work.

I dropped out of my masters degree program a few days ago and it made me realize that I couldn’t see myself working for someone else any longer.

This is a unit range that can be financed utilizing the small balance loan program, assuming the loan amount is greater than $1MM.

Should I incur the higher cost of traditional education to jump start a programming career, or is being self taught a viable alternative?
