While attending school I've discovered that its not the route for me.I'm brand new to RE investing but have been watching youtube videos on leveraging, profitable cash flows, etc etc.I have bad credit due to past family altercations (sub 670) so financing is out of the question, but am debt free.So here is my situation, I have a business partner who owns a construction company and is willing to front all the labor costs of rehabing properties as long as we split costs of materials 50/50.

If you're a newbie, I believe it is an absolute basic requirement.Not only will it help clear up some outstanding issues and provide a detailed step-by-step procedure, but also the speakers, Shirley Henderson in particular, offer some valuable tips I have yet to see in any book, YouTube video, etc., or anyone here on bigger pockets.For instance, they will go over the process of double closing, how is totally unnecessary and why only newbie wholesalers would consider it.

Also, I personally find it very beneficial to watch videos on YouTube.  

I have been reaching out to other ATL investors (there sure are a lot) But I have yet to chat with someone as far west as Carrollton.

There's no cost and you'll be able to chat with some other local BP members about real estate. 

Happy to chat anytime. 

We can chat later, I am off to learn some Bankruptcy Law.

I even agreed to split the assignment fee 50% with him ($2,250 each), and told him that I would also go as far as making a professional video to get the property occupied and good to go within 30 days.After seeing he wouldn't get much cash up front, the seller said he "really needs to SELL IT so he can buy a new place in Dallas using the cash".I see PLENTY of potential here.

Maybe we could chat about somethings sometime.

That video was recorded last year.
