The other friend and I have minimal savings, but we have been studying real estate investing and determined that the friend with savings would help all of us reach our goals quicker.

Our service includes MLS comps, construction estimates, fixed expenses and all info that you need to determine your maximum offer. 

Seems like you're not lacking determination, however!

The answers to the above questions will determine if you are in SEC territory, and yes what you do not know can hurt you.

Have you ran the numbers and determined your premiums would cost you more?  

Even if you are not interested in selling at this time, call me anyhow so I can help you determine the value of your property.

Many of us can service clients all over the states, but if you are determined to get someone local to you, I suggest contacting the state CPA board and asking for referrals local to Greenville.

I will definitely keep you updated to let you know the results I am getting in this little experiment to determine which is better for wholesaling... direct mail or Pay Per Click... 

I initially started in 2003, I just hit the ground running... didn't know to much about the business other then the few books I read and went to work... however after my first deal I became that much more interested and determined to be a success in wholesaling, and real estate investing...

Find what interests you and determine your risk tolerance and learn as much as you can about it.
