This business is about relationships.

I just joined BP a month ago, this is an excellent source of RE material, I really can't believe they are giving it all away for free!

You can choose to download the file in multiple formats, like Excel.

I think that the core strategy for setting up my financial house involves establishing relationships with three key people: (1) an estate/tax attorney, (2) a financial planner, and (3) a CPA.My intuition is that I should probably talk to those three in that order (lawyer, CFP, CPA).

Podcast 023 was excellent, informative, yet humorous at times.

Sort of a master/grasshoppa relationship that I find insulting.A classic hallmark is that they shill for each other on-line in a never-ending barrage of affiliate marketing e-mails, that I am constantly trying to unsubscribe from.

Learn from them and build up your bankroll until you can start up a well funded marketing campaign.OR2) Find an investor/rehabber to partner with, and have them fund the marketing, and they get first dibs on all deals, and a cut out of anything that gets wholesaled. ( This one might be tough unless you have a relationship with someone like this already)You could also door knock, this only costs you time and gas money.When I did my first few deals as a real estate agent, I needed tons of help along the way.

"Selling" it this way has the added benefit of avoiding the 8-10% of costs you'd incur from a straight same from commissions and seller concessions.I agree the lease with option to buy is an excellent idea.

Develop relationships with those people.

I would really like to connect with all that I can and build some relationships and mentors.
