I did learn a very valuable lesson about maintaining composure in the face of angry opposition. 

Still I find zillow a valuable tool since it is much less clunky than the MLS and it usually provides excellent sold information.  

where we take some kind of hybrid approach:  Lease for a year or two (gaining valuable 1st time landlording experience, even if we maybe don't cash flow anything at all), and then sell the house and still reap the tax advantages - finally using those proceeds to buy other investment properties.  

I felt the loss opportunity of cashflow and using the equity to buy more assets was much more valuable.  

In 2011 his estate decided that the public needed this information. it was too valuable to be kept secret. i'm inclined to agree with them.it's all relative, but to me, it had a bigger impact. it resonated with me more than think and grow rich. i learn better by seeing how a philosophy is applied to real life circumstances as opposed to reading about it. anyways, welcome aboard. read, listen to podcasts, get connected with a REIA and take action consistently and you'll be successful.

Welcome to Bigger Pocketsyou will find a ton of valuable information on this site.  

@Diron Binns  @Gerald Harris  gave you some great steps for wholesaling the deal...I would say the most important thing is to "know your objective"...and to be as clear as possible on your objective as possible, so people can give you advice on how to help you reach that objective...There is a lot of great info and advice on BP, but ultimately we are all making "shots in the dark" as to the best option for you because it's our perspective NOT your Perspective...This info is still valuable, but can become very confusing because you don't know each person's perspective...MY Suggestion are the same to most beginners starting out...first step is to know your goal over the next 3-5 years...I will let you know a little about my perspective...I am a Rehabber and Have Been Buying and Rehabbing over the past 8 years in Chicago...I've been in your shoes...I wanted to accelerate my learning curve and do as many deals as I could as quickly as possible.

And remember, good people are the rarest and most valuable commodity, those worth learning from know this very well and have mastered the leverage of such, that is wealth. 

That said, you DO want to stay in control of the conversation at all times, and there ARE certain pieces of information more valuable than others.You may want to check this blog post out: You've Done Your Marketing, the Phone is Ringing.....Now What?
