Back in the day, the get rich quick era 80-90’s, when there was no median to communicate by like this, very little local REI associations, etc, you were pretty much on your own other than some others that were under the false impression REI is a get rich quick scheme.

I’m not looking to get rich quick, but want to learn as much as I can and take baby steps into investing in real estate while minimizing my risks.

When I first arrived online in 1995, I remember that the first foreigners I met assumed two things about me simply because I was American:1) I was rich and famous2) I had gunned men downNow check out this thirty second report on foreclosures by Russia Today:http://youtu.be/u8A_CtHvO2E

I have always been one of those people who don't want to end up working for someone to make them rich and I consider myself and entrepreneur since I run a couple of ecommerce sites:www.5hpstickers.comwww.customcarcases.comwww.islandimportperformance.comI have always wanted to get into real estate and began reading into wholesaling after someone on the "Millionair Fastlane Forum" made a post about her mentoring of others and how they didn't take action so she gave away her course for FREE so she could find people who would actually follow through with her step by step guide.

We are under no illusion that this a get rich quick deal and are really interested in learning from the ground up.At this point, I guess it would be helpful to learn where to find local 'investor friendly' allies like a title company, attorney and RE agent.

I have a full time job but ever since I read Rich Dad, Poor Dad I have seen the light!!!

This is not meant to criticize wholesalers I hope that is clear - I was just thinking that for every solid, good wholesaler there are a few (or more) folks who just jumped in trying to get rich following a book or seminar?

There was a blog post recently ... those that were looking to get gold in the gold rush were not the ones getting rich -- it was the ones selling the pick axes, gold pans, etc.
