Ideally, you only need a few, serious, cash buyers.

I recently got access to $130K cash via a partner, so I'm ideally looking for a good 'flip' property to build up some more capital.

I mean, you remember when you first started in the business, right?

Think of the IDEAL acronym.

I always negotiate my lease option term at least 2 years...ideally 3.

Don't get John Beck's course it's a waste of time.And remember investing in Tax Liens is more work than Beck makes it out to be.Also your chances of getting the property free and clear is small.

I have about X amount Liquid that I really want to use towards investing in Real Estate, ideally id like to get full fledged into REI once I understand how things work.

Remember that although you and I may be able to read a few websites and determine that we need to change a few habbits, most of the world needs a bit of hand holding.

Buy something, ideally with cash, but financed if not.

I'm still young having recently graduated university I deal with high net worth individuals daily in relation to property investment worldwide with a particular focus on the emerging markets.
