I currently own a few properties at this time that I am just collecting rent on and plan to sell once the market strengthens.

For the sake of the people spending this money, I sure hope those courses have "good" information, including complete business/marketing planning.If a program or collection of different programs from different sellers all had 100% money back guarantees would more buy?

It is just a label that implies the seller is a regulated lender who obtained the property because of a loan default.Being a birddog is generally illegal given the way most people expect to collect a fee.

Check below and you will see a button for my LinkedIn profile.Consider using LinkedIn as a way to collect recommendations.

An attorney, title agent or the equivalent who understands the industry, the customs, the foreclosure practice, and how the title insurance industry works.

You need to know the boundaries or the range of possibilities yet you do not need to an expert in every dimension.If wholesaling is the way to go then study wholesaling in great detail and practice.

I agree, if you never got paid on anything, why do you think you can collect something?

It is very dependent on having stable income from other sources.A more practical solution is to buy and then sell.

Does anyone have some intelligent, practical advice for someone in my position?

They are paid based on rents collected.
