Theres a lot more, but in short don't focus on other investors so much.

For those of you who only focused in on the "flying" comment in my original post, you missed the point.

I will now use this opportunity to focus 100% on RE wholesaling and investing so I can support my wife and 2 kids.

This is not my main focus on getting properties to wholesale but is another avenue.

Just wondering if any of you have been on any bus tours that focus on emerging markets.

San Jose is a different beast for investing, and I feel my time will be better focused in easier areas that will generate positive cash flow.So it would be great to hear general stories of how you built your team, but the icing on the cake for me will be to hear about people who started with similar goals.Also, I realize each person on the team is important, but who do you consider most critical in getting your deals done?

His focus is on systems and marketing.

Regardless of what the "typical" or "average" investor does, you do betterSo, what's to say that an investor who is specifically focused on minimizing expenses can't do the same thing?

I have a realtor friend that is strictly focusing on listing homes with the possibility of negotiating shorts.He's from Miami/Ft.

Then again as investors we try to delegate what we can to focus on what we most importantly need to handle (the A&D) so maybe this degree has limited use as well.The finance degree can be finished the earliest, the real estate degree will require the most amount of time (that one is not even at my school so it'll require a significant change of plans)What do you guys think is the best option?
