Quote from @Tatum Littleton: Take a look at this BP beginners guide.

I hear so many things from door knocking to contacting your circle of influence but lets be realistic there is tons and tons of tools that make outreach way more effective.What would be a good way to market to get 5 listings this month?

I spent months, no, years, reading books, buying No Money Down cassettes, (Carleton Sheets, anyone?)

Just wondering if anyone has had any experience/success/input from using it.

I can definitely attribute a lot of my success over the last few years due to the connections I made on Bigger Pockets and the things I've just simply learned by listening to and reading all the great info available here!

Ask your employer if you can have your pay split up into three deposits, one to investments savings, one to your checking account for personal use on a daily basis, and one to an emergency account you can tap into so you don't have to tap into your investment savings.

Quote from @Shiloh Lundahl: This is such an interesting question.

Sara,I see this a lot and I always ask if you know you are going to refinance in the long run to consolidate the Heloc why not just do a Cash out refinance instead. 

There's plenty of threads that you can read about and begin to deep dive on various markets.

Yes, this is "tough love", but you won't survive in this business if you let it affect you:)
