Would they be a good source locally for anyone in any area?

Basically you'll need a mic and download audacity, open source recording software.

I too am just getting started in REI and am looking for good local sources of information and mentoring.I would like your opinion on the club if you have tried it.

The other source is private money.

I always found my library to be a good source, and of course today there is the internet.

As well do you think through private lending sources it would be easy to negotiate a longer amortized period of about 30-40 years on a small property like this or are they typically set to a certain period depending on how large the amount is.

I'm a music producer/engineer/songwriter (a successful one, thankfully :mrgreen:) , getting into REI as a source of supplemental income, although the more I learn about it, the more time I'm interested in investing in it, so who knows, maybe one day the percentages will be reversed...

I don't have any conventional wholesale sources.

With the retail real estate market difficult in most areas, landlords can be a good source of buyers.Good Luck,Mike

These decisions also affect the speed of wealth creation and tax efficiency.That's three of the four or 75% of the sources of profit!
