I was wondering if anyone had any success.

It is difficult to be a successful landlord if you can't read people, because credit reports and income verification doesn't tell you anything about how much of a PITA the tenant is going to be or how reasonable they will behave as a human being.

Congratulations on all your success in real estate so far and best of luck in the future!

Before I get too discouraged, do you all have any suggestions or success stories on other ways to generate funds for REI?

It's normally used in commercial transactions, but he had great success in residential.Basically, it's a  lease that runs at least 30 years, but up to 99.

Your contractors will be the second biggest determining factor in your success (other than buying at the right price). 

I am looking for a "rinse & repeat" Wholesale/Assignment Property Marketing template, that you have found successful.

Walk around with them, ask them questions about anything that comes to mind, ask them to point out any discrepancies that they note.You'll have to learn how homes are built and operate to be successful in this business and this is the best way to start with that.

If you decide to go the mortgage broker way and are successful, you will develop a solid relationship as well.
