I have met, talked and walked through dozens of other investor projects (includes J Scott from 123flip.com) and that is a great way to find out who they are hiring and how much they are paying.Cost estimating is not rocket science and it is not the hardest part of this business IMHO.

As for the types of investing/strategies - I would like to have a mix of holds for cash flow and rehabs/flips to build cash and buying power.

Just goes to show how helpful and powerful this online community really is.

He has built up a thriving business in a very short amount of time by making and following a very simple plan.And do not underestimate the power of texting to manage calls.

Experiance i think is the best teacher too. just yesturday i was talking to the local real estate agents who work with primarily investors and when i explained how the entire wholesaling proccess was suppost to work i was straight up told that that is illegal lol So from there i found a post on reiclub.com title How wholesaling can be illegal and it help me put what they were saying at the office into perspective.But of course I will need to find my next power team member(s) my real estate attorneys to get to the bottom of North Carolinas wonderful laws hahaha

They had the power turned off and left a ton of food in the fridge.

Whatever your critique of realtors might be, most of them can make a reasonable sounding pitch when it comes to their own best interests.Realtors are also a very powerful lobby group in D.C.

And it will cut thru 3/4 if i need to.http://www.homedepot.com/b/Tools-Hardware-Power-Tools-Power-Multi-Tools-Oscillating-Tools/Dremel/N-5yc1vZc2b2Zgr?

So I really look forward to learning as much as I can from him since he as really gone from nothing to being quite a powerful man in the industry.

I think it's cool that you and your wife are on the same page, I believe there is power in that.I hope to see more of you around the site.
