Thank you James.It's difficult to imagine how that could be with such a vague reference to the actual property while specifically making the original post about the how and not the what, if that makes sense.I do appreciate your comments.I'm now talking to larger established investors directly (not on BP) who are accredited, which are the ones with the resources to make a deal.Thanks again.

YouTube is also a great resource.

Credit cards are a good resource for many reasons. 

We have also been reading a lot of the books and resources mentioned in the forums.

I have already read through The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing and am currently reading the Book on Investing in Real Estate with No or Low Money Down but would appreciate any advice anyone has on other reading material, videos, articles, or seminars I as a newcomer can learn from.Thank you,

I am finishing up my masters in real estate development and have many resources at my disposal.

My favorite book on Landlording is "Every Landlord's Legal Guide" by NOLO.
