Ideally, you would want to be located close to where you would be buying the tax liens.

The one I've found most useful is www.biggerpockets.com but there are others as well such as meetup.com where you can network with local investor groups to stay up to date with the market. 3) Use video tour websitesAfter you've found a suitable property in the local market, I highly recommend doing a video tour of the property to get a better feel for it.

Someone else having a say in my investment isnt ideal.

Ideally, that agent could also recommend me in Austin, but that's not necessary.Anyway, like I said, my primary focus will be to see the people with whom I spent time in Iraq, but if any agents or investors have some time on Sept 4-6, I'd love to buy you a beer.

Podcasts, audibles, weekly webinars and YouTube videos have been my go to since reading just puts me to sleep after a long day of work.

Developing such a strategy certainly would be ideal. 

Max Maxwell has been a great help for me and I can almost guarantee if you watch his videos in order from start to finish, you will be ready to jump in the game.

just wondering...has anyone invested with , or worked with Kris Krohn , who has many,many,many  U-Tube videos  ???  

I watched videos and have been looking at investing for years.

Are there any books/links/tutors/billboards/YouTube videos you lovely humans have to offer on this topic?
