I waited 13 months and studied the markets.

Go to HUD sites, not homes for sale, but the financing, housing regulations, and settlement regulations.Allocate so much of your day for REAL study, not wishful thinking and morale boosting stuff from a guru course.Spend time on sites like BP, interact, ask questions and get answers from those who have been there and done that.

I know you need reserves when you get into landlording so I am still patiently waiting to have that emergency money but what are some other ways outside of studying BP and reading certain books ("Landlording on Auto-Pilot" is my current read) that I can gain more knowledge?

Are there any resources that I can study which would assist me?

Good luck with your studies.....and future deals!

I have to do a lot of studying a whole new world of building.

I know alot about real estate already, i have been studying R.E since 2005, even been in a couple transactions.

As some of you may know, while I am working on becoming a budding real estate investor, my main gig is as a songwriter and music producer.It turns out today I was informed that a song I wrote and submitted to American Idol has been selected out of close to 30,000 submissions to be one of 20 final songs to be voted on by the public online, with the winning song to be performed and recorded by this year's winner of American Idol!

There was some other site that had done a study of some houses and zillow values.

I suggest you study real estate before trying to do deals in real estate.Buying Subject-To is not illegal in any state, but it can certainly lead to legal issues quickly, which might be the reason the attorneys you spoke to are avoiding or evading you.
