Systems, Automation & Scaling: Also, I have watched / heard the LO gurus talking about 'automating' and 'outsourcing' practically everything... from buying leads and using foreign and domestic VAs that generate and / or 'pre-qualify' people, to even doing their follow- ups and booking appointments for the deal maker... to 'systematizing' practically everything else, under the sun.

Newbies tend to get into wholesaling in the beginning in order to generate enough money to get into buy and hold.

- Note, I know what comments that comment might generate, I am not being caviler I intend to get it done now, and once i have it rented and things die down I will go back and double check that I did it right.Thanks in advance, trying to navigate this.

I realize this will change in the future but for now I'm generating over $6k annually in cash flow.  

Paying 4% APR on a mortgage for a home that will potentially appreciate in value and generates an income stream from rental is not the same as paying 22% APR on credit card debt incurred to buy the latest pair of designer jeans.The question you ask yourself should be what return can I make and what are the risk i take on to make that return.

I like the idea of taking advantage of the multiple wealth generating mechanisms Buy-and-Hold offers.

I had a similar situation, where the tenant was looking for an SFR to pretty much run her business. she generates 8k a month as a childcare provider!

I have "FREE" ads that can and do generate 20-50 calls per week of nothing but buyers.

The consensus is that different types will generate different response rates and differing quality of leads.For example, apparently yellow letters generate a large volume of phone calls, but low quality leads.

I personally am just about to get out of high school, and about to start college but i've always been very interested in investing and such, is love some help on how to start or what i should do besides just reading to generate some capital despite about to be a broke college student, any advice is appreciated, Thanks!
