I was wondering if anyone out there could provide their experiences and feedback on getting involved in these types of investments.

I did listen to the show and I can say that there was not any sensationalism involved.

We have a very unique market, above median prices on homes, no war zones (denver metro anyways), economic stability, etc.

My goal is to be a agent, and get more involved into investing into properties.

I am so desperate to get back into the game, I have bids in on 3 different teardowns, two of which I have know business getting involved in, and my offers will be refused some time early next week.

I used to think of the army of Guru Graduates as a real pain in the tuchus as they often mess up good potential investment opportunities when they couldn't close on deals that they had first mover advantage on (for a long variety of reasons, most of them involving unrealistic leverage).

I was sitting here brainstorming ways to apply some of the outsourcing principles to my involvement as a new investor and thought I'd go public, since many minds are always better than one.So far I have a small list going, but would love to hear if you all have any other ways you have put either outsourcing, or any other 4HWW (muse creation, 80/20 rule, etc.) into your real estate businesses.Here's what I've come up with so far:Virtual Assistant (VA) tasks:screening MLS for potential dealsyellow letter campaignsGoogle Adwords tracking and implementationmanaging tenant screening process (background checks, tenant checks, etc.)tracking down absentee property ownersgenerating a list of every commercial building owner in your towncollection and aggregation of data in due diligence process for a commercial purchaseresearching cash buyers in targeted markets identifying common expense items in a new market (trash, electric, water, property tax rates, etc.)What else might make sense?

I consider myself business savvy and find myself aware of many things involving business transactions that the average person would overlook.

I guess my biggest question is what are some other investment options that do not involve lots of cash?
