I got my 14 year  old son in on the game, and told him to start sending letters to multi-fam owners in a two mile radius of our house.  

I have done a bit to learn independently, mostly via RE valuation textbooks and web resources, but am seeking your opinions on resources to rapidly learn the fundamentals to catalyze my "wheeling and dealing".

I have picked up houses and land, easy to sell if you are game.  

I can't win if I am not in the game. 

My advice is to pass on this one if:-You are not 100% comfortable of the numbers independent of his-You do not have an understanding of your agreement together and his obligations are spelled out-Your agent has more skin in the game other than commissionsYou can always pass on this accepted bid and re bid when the property comes back on to give you more time to gather information. 

I am anxious to see how you have upped your game in wholesaling.

My parents were always able to make it to my sport games, and I would like to be able to do that for my future children as well.

As to consumers, any extension of credit credit to a consumer requires a license, you can find the scoop on the CFPB web site ad in the definitions of the Dodd-Frank Act as amended. 

It's a bit a tangled web I am weaving, but it's fun!  

I am currently emailing for prices and have learned through the web that most of these houses were foreclosed on due to not receiving basic government essentials which led to people not paying taxes.
