You (or your spouse, if you’re working together) may even choose to become a real estate agent in order to gain access to the incred- ible tools that agents have.

Your only focus right now should be on finding motivated sellers. 

What's the sellers motivation for selling?

Demand, location, positive cash flow whether you are financing it or not, area growth, amenities, repairs, seller motivation, is it in a flood plane  economical pluses or minuses, property age, layout, historical issues, future projections, neighborhood issues, weather issues that are negative or positive, distance from an existing public protection, if provided, storage area, and property taxes. 

Get a motivated seller that has an off market property.Get it under contract, assign the contract/ (or for all you wholesaler haters: buy the house and sell it immediately ).I don't know what some magic wholesaling book will do for you.

You came to the right place to learn more about real estate and connect with other motivated investors.

I did work with an incredible realtor in Cornwall Ontario Canada. that's where I did this Reno. he helped me determine one an ARV and come up with some numbers for rent and gave me tons of heads up. also worked with the people from Upper Canada mortgage!

If you’re motivated, go for a small apartment building!  

Locate a Motivated Seller that will consider Seller Financing.

I have heard (from a hard money lender, so he is motivated to encourage me to borrow hard money) that it's much easier to get the refinance at the end of a BRRRR deal if the property is finanaced for the purchase vs using cash to purchase and rehab a property.
