Where would you setup your couch and TV?

While he may have said he was "flipping the home" it is probably just some jargon he learned from TV and he is not really an "investor" per say.

I don't think BP has much overlap with PBS viewers (I could be wrong)

In my market, the traveling nurse program only pays $1,500 a month and that includes utilities, furnishings, TV/Internet, etc.

I have never been in your situation, however I have read about it and seen it on TV. 

The folks that do these TV shows are setting up "Real Estate Guru" classes and making a mint off people.

My day job is directing TV commercials and documentaries but am super interested in expanding the real estate portfolio, ideally to a point where the investment income can replace some of the TV commercials and I can spend more time on personal directing work! 

We were great savers but our retirement was not going to be like the TV commercials.

As you can see I am not a newbie...I just pick and choose what I post or contribute about...I have been a member of BP since 2008...marketing on many different social media sites can become a full time job...but your words are wise...I would be concerned if I had just joined...if you have any doubts about my credibility check my 3 TV interviews done on my markets #1 live morning talk show...you can find them on my website or go to youtube.com and search Rock Real Estate Investments.

There is opportunity here and no famine, but it's not all rosy like the real estate tv shows suggest.
