I've also found YouTube videos in the vein of, "Things I wish I would've known when I started" to be incredibly useful. 

Look at DIY videos like This Old House to get the existing double hung ones to open and close properly while you wait.Did you get a home inspection when you bought the place?  

@Justin G. he has tons of videos about using it.

Back then, they didn't let us record video during the session and tons of discount and offer at the end of the session.

Sure you’ll have to work your butt off in the beginning, maybe you watch 100 YouTube videos and spend the better part of a year putting sweat equity into a property.

* Do I receive video of my pre and post make ready?

I was looking at wholesale tips/videos to provide a funding path, but for now I'm looking to buy cheap for the first property.Would there be any greater benefit to pre-approval loans vs cash options? 

I just started to practice analyzing deals ( used up the free 5 trials for rental calculator, so basically made an excel using old youtube videos on the 4 block technique figuring out CoCROI. )  What i've realized for my area ( Houston, TX) is basically anything over 130k basically produces 0 or negative CoCROI because ultimately your rent is the total income you get and subtract expenses(which usually adds up to around 700-800 bucks be conservative) and your mortgage(which would be around 500-600 bucks a month for a 100k-130k loan)most of the homes near Houston average (base on craigslist, rentometer, realtor.com) 1300-1600 on rent for a traditional 3/2 SFH.

In exchange for your time, I can offer is my skills/expertise/know-how on using video as a tool in real estate as an agent or landlord.

From the videos his team posts it seems like a lot of the checks they send out are for a couple hundred a month or a little more than that.
