I think many people get away with it simply because the crime is private and nobody bothers to complain.I've looked at a couple contracts from people claiming to be big-time wholesalers with 10+ years in the business and training programs on YouTube and private websites.

Immediately got with a great brokerage which invests a ton in training and sort of just fell into a mentorship.

John Colin Rogers our reia group has a membership fee and some training you can pay for but I go to meet like minded people in my local area.

It is extremely rare that I ever get a repeat offender.If a landlord is not charging enough all they accomplish is to train their tenants to pay late on a regular bases.

I'm trying get down a system that is reliable in NC, so I can train future hires and not have to worry that they're trying to shotgun it. 

I've trained them on spotting vacant/distressed houses; gathering the owner's info from the assessors site; and getting the initial letter out to the owner.

Most people never consider meeting with professionals who have the knowledge and training to help.

You are missing out on the advertising gravy train.

As far as your own occupied home, that's where I jump off the train since that is strictly a residential lender issue and my knowledge comes from the commercial side of lending.

@James Mccard I am planning on going to a Meetup next Wednesday in our area through BP.
