I thought some owners might willing to call an actual person interested in their property rather than a company.Maybe using family photos in the marketing materials.

Since there is so much information available here and outside, I have created a list of topics for myself to focus on and I am going through the material  (relevant Podcasts and forums).

Any links, tips, tricks or reading material on this would be great!

I got hold of the best advise right here on BP and that is it's better to use your hard earned cash on a deal and learn from it than to invest in someone else's material.

But that town won't take construction materials and debris in the trash, so it was left at the curb.

RE simply is not for everyone and that you can go from zero to an investor by learning some techniques etc.. you can learn all of these techniques here on BP or through gurus its all the same material it really is... one is free basically ( here on BP ) the other is paid for.. or you can go the private mentor route ( highly suggested for those WITH Money) and have some business background....

I'll read the material more carefully and will probably have questions :)I have run into this site, focused on turn key solutions: http://turnkey-reviews.com/Not a lot of activity and almost all reviews are 5-star...

There are a lot of educational materials out on this site. 

What material do you experienced investors/landlords suggest reading up on for someone who's never been a landlord or owned property before?

But none of those Lenders said to me: "We'll lend you $100k, but because we're not checking your credentials, and we're giving you educational materials, and a small list of people who may or may not be interested in buying something off you one day, we'll put on our books that we loaned you $140k, and start charging you a higher-than-normal interest on the whole amount; and don't even think about not paying it all back, because we'll foreclose on whatever you bought with that $100k so quick it'll make your eyes water, and still chase you for the rest".
