Yeah I can send you over a neighborhood map that breaks down each neighborhood into A to C- class based upon sales prices, rental comps, and neighborhood condition.

I would listen to the BP Podcast with Thach Nguyen on how he knocked on one hundred doors a day , five days a week for ten years and that got him one million USD per year from that ACTIVITY.Make sure you dont miss the part where he says one home seller let loose a dog on him and he had to get attention at the hospital from the bite.I would also pay attention to the Tom Hopkins Champion formula to embrace rejection on pages 110-125 in his book Mastering the Art of the Sale.Especially the part where he says , you are paid for each rejection you getThen TAKE ACTION, make the calls, follow up leads, ask for referrals, make offers, buy properties, choose your exit strategy etcin making calls i would attempt to incorporate "negative phrasing" as taught by Steve Trang, to locate buyers, sellers, private money lenders.I would also set a saving rate as taught by Anthony Robbins from book Money, master the game, becoming of an investor, taking advantage of the power of compounding I would also keep in mind the 10000hour rule from Malcom Gladwell's book, Outliers reminding myself that attaining world class takes commitment

Aside from that, yep- research Online where you can take your classes (This used to be face-to-face required.

This book can act as your base before you start to decide on the type of real estate asset class you wish to invest in.

I was told that the gov't program that buys these loans has shifted focus and does not have a great desire for this asset class. 

The real money seems to come when you can find a 5br house in a nice middle-class or working-class neighborhood.

It's my hope to meet lots of you here on the forums and hone-in on a path to take for Class 1 Financial Freedom!

How big and class?
