Be willing to partner up with a seasoned investor in the beginning, Sure, you may not earn all the money the deal throws off, but you will be receiving a valuable education that will set you up for continued and lasting success.Focus on your strategy and stay the course, my brotha, and best of luck.

Due diligence at every stage before parting with your hard earned dollars...my 0.02 cents...good luck!!!

I've got a 1 ton diesel that I drive most days - saving 50 cents a gallon on a fill up makes a difference over time...and I earn cash back when I fill up...and it puts points on the fuel reward card when I fill up.  

My question is...What job would give me the most/best exposure to real estate development so i can educate myself while earning a living?

I need an audio based class so I can earn my license.  

For example, you pointed out how the wholesaler will not only want to find a really smoking hot deal (because they earn more from it) but they will also want to take that deal to YOU because the others don't play your game.  

I currently earn a six figure salary at a pretty non-pressure, but full time, job.  

If I thought I could skip wholesaling and go straight to earning passive income, that's what I would do.

Yes, it doesn't earn me anything while waiting in the bank account but also inflation is still low.

There are some people who do flips in California only to earn the capital to do big things outside of California.
