Where guru's make wholesaling, Master leases, or seller financing to be the magic pill, as you put it, I believe they are still paths into real estate that will make way for successful investing.Granted, it all takes time, effort, and fumbling but I think it's all worth it if you find your niche and you're willing to put in the neccessary effort and energy.Congratulations on your success, and I hope you get the 4-Plex you have your eye on.

I prefer Stillwater myself over Enid but still new to area so can’t say too much just a way nicer town.
