If you want to understand the Sacramento market better, and the opportunities that may be here feel free to reach out. 

You must learn and fully understand that money isn't a noun...it's a verb.  

He's had a lot of issues trying to sell this property and now I understand why.

You merely have to understand the risks like with any other real estate investment.

I will work for free no questions asked.While I understand this may be a ludicrous offer I am proposing, I know this is what I want to do with my life and can think of no better way to learn.  

I'd love to help you but completely understand if you want someone intimately involved in those towns specifically.:-)

The area is zoned residential, as it leads from one street back to another my understanding is that one side is single family, while the other end is zoned multi-unit.   

I am also a very novice options trader, and barely making any money with that... but I understand that is long term project that will feed me and my family plenty in the future; just like real state investing.My goal here is to meet like minded people.... and I know there are plenty, but they don't know who I am, why I want get into this business.

I've listened to Matt Theriault's podcasts, which I believe are enormously helpful.It was his podcasts that steered me to looking into wholesale real estate, as the no money down/connecting sellers with buyers, concept is attractive.I currently own a contracting business, which as of late has lost its appeal.I know the construction business well and have lived through a pletherea of learned experiences.Not that I'm bored with construction, I'm wanting a seemingly more fluid cash flow business.What I've learned, and frankly want BP's thoughts, is that I'm looking for distressed property or owners as potential sellers.I want to connect those types of opportunities with buyers, who either don't have or want to take the time to find the properties I'm willing to do the work to find.Based on my reading of BP's UBG, understanding what buyers want should be the first step, versus finding sellers and then buyers.And, that a great resource could be county records of cash buyers and that that step would provide potential buyers.Question:Has this approach worked for you?

@Russell Brazil @Wayne BrooksJust to make sure I understand, its 90 days from the date I settle on the house to the date I have a contract to sell the house.
