Hi Maureen - I may be too late, but I actually logged onto BP to provide feedback on the Open Spaces course and came across your post.

You do not need to pay a lot of money for the information that he provides.If you go to his seminars it is mostly just upselling to get you to buy into another program that will provide you with the information missing from the current program.

Be sure to check local regulations on door-to-door marketing.By focusing on these methods and providing incentives for effective delivery, you can effectively reach motivated home sellers directly and increase your chances of finding great deals.

I've been an investor and broker for the last 10 years in FL and NC, and specialize in the mountain regions, and beach regions because that's where most of the tourists, and investors who want getaways, invest (certainly there are many other interesting markets to invest however, booming wine country for example..)To add to it, I love the environmentally responsible home building, that's something I've had an interest in for a while, and I've worked with several contractors and architects in the last few years to come up with a useful plan for alternative and environmentally responsible building materials. 

On the other hand, rental income properties can provide steady, long-term income streams with room for appreciation.In your shoes, I'd start by evaluating my goals as an investor.

@Katrina Dividina did you use a investor specialized Realtor ?

And the property managed by a "preferred property manager" instead of buying a turnkey property through a trusted provider and keeping everything under the same roof.Would love thoughts from fellow turnkey providers, lenders and investors.Is the trend going in the DIY direction nowadays more than prior years?

Then I knocked on the door and I specialize in distressed properties. 

Development is not rocket science; you can achieve success by accessing the right resources and connecting with people who can provide the knowledge and tools you need to get there.
