All the books, coaching, webinars, seminars...they all paint a picture that anyone can do this with little to no money and poor credit.

I've been listening to BP podcasts and reading real estate books every day since that day.The genesis of my motivation to learn about real estate is to find a smarter way to utilize my excess capital to generate passive income.

Even with some repairs and 3% standard vacancy rates my calculation was around $700 positive cash flow per month.Also we are doing 30% downpayment in the new property so 8K pm (MIT) is the opportunity  cost for 30% equity and not 10% ,correct? 

We have stood by the principles Brandon discusses in his book requiring applicants to have credit scores 600+ and gross monthly (or combined monthly) income of roughly three times the rent. 

By showing yourself around the neighborhood, someone may not immediately be interested in selling, but they'll remember you over the letters they threw in the trash.I recommend listening to the BP podcast and start reading some real estate investing books to start off.

Hi, i would like to get some general idea, how long should i keep reading books, forums, following ppls stories on how to wholesale and flip homes?

(Here's a link to J Scott's book on the subject if you haven't picked it up already)

Love any type of advice as it's all learning in my book!

I won't share too much of my personal story.The first book I read that changed my perspective was, "Rich DAD POOR DAD",mostly because up until that point I had never considered the concepts presented in the book.
