From there I learned about buy and hold properties, and as I've been learning I discovered Biggerpockets which is an insanely great site and community.My network is growing -- I have a great coach, a RE agent and a terrific RE attorney.  

@Jess Black I just discovered REscour last week!

Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill helped me with commitment setting (others would call it goals), and Roger Dawson's The Secret to Power Negotiating was an enormous help.  

Property roughly worth $130K had improvements made to it that were not inspected and therefore after a home inspection (for the purposes of selling the home) it was discovered that there are 100's of violations that would be cost prohibitive to fix, in order to get rid of the house/liabilty.

Since I have discovered BP, I have been really impressed with all the information shared.  

The secret is to NOT be a "one trick pony."  

It is up to you to discover them.

It is a rare opportunity in that it is listed as 2 residences but secretly has 3.

I read several of them, and I took Chris Bruce's courses on Joint Venture Wholesaling and Craigslist Secrets.  

Finding good deals is becoming more and more difficult in today's market.Rehabbers are fighting over properties and margins are becoming thinner and thinner.During dinner last night with an attorney who is well-connected with hedge funds here in Chicago, I learned a very interesting secret.
