Many of the individuals that I know who are financially successful in this business almost without exception went through a lot of trial and error and hard times before they really got their business up to speed and ran it like a system.I agree with an earlier post that college education does not guarantee a successful financial future.

Tried to speed it up but not able to. 

It sounds like you're serious about investing, but you still need some time to get up to speed. 

Keep podcasting, they will help you develop the strategy that will work best for you, and listen to them on 2x speed to listen to twice as much, and check out the webinars that BP does for free almost every week.

GOD speed with your deals. get that moneyLouis

It's a speed networking meeting which is one of my personal favorites, you get introduced to a ton of people in a hour. http://www.omaha1reia.com/If you ever get down to Lincoln, there's a meeting on the 2nd Monday of every month.

Sometimes guys fly past me on the interstate, even if I'm already over the speed limit.

Try them all find out what gets you the best results and then go full speed ahead!

I listen to the BP podcasts every day at 1.3 speed.

I can see rehab taking less than 6 weeks .. and this market is hot for selling so .. maybe 30-60 days on market .. not a bad Roi if the numbers are right .. but, if you looked at it as a buy and hold,  it would still make sense  .. i think the real key to investing out of state is having someone whom you trust watching out for your best interests .. like I do with any of my partners money.. also try not to limit yourself to just one area .. you might miss a deal of a lifetime if your to focused on one area only .. just my two cents  I wish you the very best God Speed, Michael Short
