Online, standard form contracts are bad news, and I would highly recommend staying away from them.Saving a few hundred dollars now may well end up costing you thousands down the line.

Find the cheapest news paper like local Gazette or Advance etc.

I'm currently putting my plan of action together. 

I read Rich Dad Poor Dad 10 years ago, but little action was taken.I am hoping to take charge of our future, and hopefully invest in several buy & hold properties, and rent out for a slow and steady cash flow.

Corey, way to get out there and take action!

But, most beginners don't.Your best shot of finding a deal is "driving for dollars," as Brandon terms it, looking for vacant/rundown properties in good neighborhoods with great school systems, then contacting the owners, who may have been considering selling, but not taken any action, yet.Another key is to pick an area and focus on that, getting to know local values like the back of your hand.

Pick a niche and go out there and do it, you will get better with action.

Some custodians are far more automated from a technology angle than others and many still require you to complete paper forms for every action.

I basically just show people what we are doing, and if you put your heart and soul take action, you can definitely do this..

Congrats on taking action and working towards financial independence!
