I choose wholesaling for two reasons, one is because it is a simple concept.

Its much more about mentality and streamlining and outsourcing than anything else.This concept can be applied to REI, for sure (that could be your muse).

Another couple of concepts.

The group was built on the concepts of Bigger Pockets, and attendance is free, we have no selling speakers and no multi-level marketing.

There are many great people who are happy to work for $10 - $15 per hour, and I am happy to give them all of the work that I can if they do good work.It really boils down to the concept of leverage.

Jay, if you can't comp a deal you either need to learn how or find help to do it.Not trying to sound condescending but do you understand the concept of comping out a deal?

I have picked up a number of books on tax liens investing so I feel I have a grasp for the basic concept, but would be interested in learning more from more seasoned investors.I have close to $15,000 in "expendable" income I would like to invest.

You can use a simpler contract but it may lead to deals falling apart or problems for you when they do.

That should give you a good introduction to how multi-units are valued, that is the biggest concept to grasp IMO.

I will admit that I learned most of what I know by reading many books and applying concepts.
