Thank you both for the tip!

Let's pretend it's a generous 1 yr CD with no early withdrawal penalty.7 year CD: 2% and penalized six months of interest if you pull funds out early.If you pull funds out after exactly 12 months, it's a wash:1 yr CD @ 1 yr: $10k * 1% = $100.7 yr CD @ 1 yr with penalty: $10k * 2% - [$10k * 2% / 2] = $100.After 18 months...1 yr CD @ 1.5 years: $10k * 1% * 1.5 years = $150.7 yr CD @ 1.5 years and penalized six months of interest: $10k * 2% * 1.5 years - [$10k * 2% * 0.5 years] = $200.So there's your low risk / low reward "CD hacking" tip of the day to get rich by earning an extra $50 on $10k after a year and a half.

Plus most agents are completely unorganized, don't return calls/emails etc. and finding a reliable one in some remote corner of the US isn't worth it to me.The only time I make an exception to this is when I'm researching the property online (zillow, trulia, redfin etc) and while looking at other properties in the neighborhood I see an agent that sold something similar fairly recently.

They are the only game in town and will protect each other to protect their power and free ride off the taxpayers.

Thank you so much for the tips, I am currently starting and am trying to find a good turnkey company.

As far as tax sales, the September sale starts Monday and it's online bidding.

Can anyone recommend me a good online school?

I'm new to this game and am in the Augusta/CSRA market. 

It's been a while now into Cody Sperber's fast track program learning how to wholesale real estate online, but I haven't pocketed any profits yet besides the education.
