@Liam Goble well my business is supplying Memphis investments to non US residents I live in Fiji but spend plenty of time in Memphis and New Zealand.

But, I expect you to at least try before I spend the money.Well yea, I find it very odd.

You may have cause to sue Donald Trump or Warren Buffett knowing they are worth billions, but you'll never get anything because of the dynasty and land trusts and other legal vehicles used to protect those vehicles, of which they are merely the sometimes-beneficiary.

Say you spend 5 hours a week looking for that good deal that's 260 hours in a year.

Spend an hour reading through the site.

You'll also make contacts with new agents that, if nothing else, can get you access to the MLS.You can spend years trying to follow some niche strategy and never learn the basics of RE.

The tenants and leases create the value of the building so spend considerable time here.

Ask for elevator maintenance records and see what they are spending on those per year.Is the maintenance guy in-house or do they subcontract maintenance, take a look at the cleaning contract.

If you aren't spending 2-3 hours reading each day or night you are cheating yourself.While you are doing this, network, network, network.

There are a TON of great REI books out there, you could buy every one of them and still probably only spend a fraction of what you would spend on guru seminars.
