Well, you're welcome and thank you for spreading the word. 

Welcome to the vibrant BP community, where you will find like minded individuals committed to REI and also helping others succeed.Your time on this social media site will be well spent.You have taken the 1st step by announcing your readiness and commitment to embark on a REI career.Whether you pursue, wholesale, rehab & fIip or buy and hold it's up to you to decide.Since you didn't mention a specific are of interest I added the below links to introduce you to three of the most popular niches, from which you can select one  to focus your REI career on and then add others later if you wish.https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2015/01/31/ultimate-beginners-guide-real-estate-wholesaling-2/ (Ultimate beginners guide to wholesaling)http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2014/01/07/flipping-houses/ (step by step guide to flips)http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2013/02/22/buying-rental-property/ (how to buy a rental property)The bottom line is that you must take action to start.

If you make 10k a flip times 3 in a year for 30k that will be a lot of work for a nominal return.The people that flip make larger spreads otherwise it makes sense for them to just flip the paper quicker for those kinds of margins."

By leveraging people spread out all over the U.S. they increase their chances of working less and partnering with newbies who put in the hard work to find a deal.The education business is what they are in.

Even though I pulled up my own mortgage account and showed my neighbor the fact that additional monies go towards principal and that if this simple statement is untrue then probably the majority of the rest is as well, he/she is dead set on signing up for the 55k package.My one question is that if Trevor is that successful as he says he is (bank part owner, 2 comma income statement, huge real estate investment portfolio, big house, 2 Ferrari's, 2 Range Rovers, Maserati, Jaguar) why has he been travelling to spread this education to others over the past 5 years)

They can get you in BIG trouble, if you spread yourself too thin.I love that you're looking at real estate investing as a vehicle out though. :)Karyn

There are several reasons people do this: they may not have enough capital to buy the full amount, they have the capital but want to spread it across more then one loan to diversify, It may be a newer note and they want to keep their investment to value ration low (ITV), they may be building a laddered maturity and want a specific duration so they have something closing out each year. they may not be sure they want to invest in notes and want to "test drive" one without buying 10 or 20 years of payments, or they may be a newer investor or busy professional that wants to have someone more seasoned with an interest in the out years who can step in an manage things if the borrowed runs into difficulty.For example we have a note in Indiana with 6 years of payments left on it and had a friend that had money sitting in a checking account earning almost zero.  

You'll be able to do more deals this way & spread the HELOC amoung multiple projects.  

Best way is to get something under contract for a decent price and blast it out all over the internet and social media.

Everything ANY news media reports should be suspect.
