I transfered my job to Houston in 2013 bought a turn key in 2014 for $154K (twice the size of LA house) and have been itching to explore the real estate investing world.Lil prep work I've been reading REI books, watching podcasts (flipnerd & BP), YouTube videos, and recently been getting out to network.

I used the Screen Mouse that can be seen in this VIDEO.

As to gurus, my dad recently told me that if he could attend some clinic and learn or see something different (actually, marching into different formations can be rather complex moving 120 players around) that it was worth the price of the book or clinic and they were not cheap.Good ideas are valuable, so long as they can be replicated by others, are compliant and fit into ethical business practices.

It has everything you need from the online forums to the free courses and videos on this site, the possibilities are endless!

I've had some experience in FL with rehabing 1920's-40's and most of the time you have no idea what it will take.You need to locate a top notch home inspection company that can get you a report and video of the crawl space, attic and any other structurally significant area that you can share in the planning stage.I just had a new construction home designed in S Fort Myers modeled after a 1940's bungalow and hiring the right people will make or break your project.

Check out some of his blogs, videos and books.

In his YouTube videos he makes it seem so simple to find a house with equity then quickly flip it to purchase another house.

I just replaced my clay lateral because it had an offset/rootball and you can come back with some pretty high quotes to counter your offer with depending on the video inspection. 

All of these additions planned to be ready by the Super Bowl here in 2019.Oh and if you need “eyes on the ground” or pictures/videos of your property or areas shoot me a message.

I also watch/listen to any YouTube video available  on real estate exam while at work.
