#3 -  put $500 in yellow cards and look for motivated sellers/ wholesale.?

I don't think it hurt the deal, but it could.Having the seller drop price without working for it can scare a buyer that he is either leaving money on the table or some new problem has arisen that has motivated the seller.

it's always nice to read these feel good stories; helps keep me motivated!

That will definitely get you motivated and ready to move!

I'm sort of new to the BP community.

You will be amazed at the sort of response you will get to a question posted on the forums.  

I'm interested in fixing the properties buying selling and having some sort of cash flow 

I need to find motivated sellers!
