I want to learn the down and dirty before diving in. 

Maybe we could network some night and swap notes on recommended lenders, contractors, etc.

I am thinking of diving in the same way.

I am smart enough to know there is so much I don't know about real estate and investing, obviously you learn as you go but I have six months to learn through formal education before diving in, so I'm wondering about classes you've taken.  

I'm hesitant to work with them because 90% are "fly by nights" types and/or just sketchy.Essentially, a realtor will exchange a buyers list with a wholesaler in exchange for a seller list of unworkable leads.

So conventional financing is out of the question currently so I've been listening to podcasts, about 6-8 hours worth while I'm working at night.

When a tenant has done a mid night run they do not expect to get their deposit back.

I work full time and some nights so I can't be at the job site everyday.I have also listed my unsubdivided lot for sale on mls to gauge potential interest.

Really looking forward to diving in here.  

With countless hours staying up at night revising my business model, I know my course of action but I don't have all the answers and have a few questions that I would love to be answered if possible.1.
