But then I see charts like this for retail metro-wide and I scratch my head..... and then I read that Vulcan Video, Magnolia Cafe on Lake Austin Blvd and Threadgills is closing shop permanently which sucks.

Through my time researching, especially nowadays, repeatedly I have come across articles, YouTube videos, books, ebooks, blogs, etc etc on investing in REI with 'little to none' of your own money. 

4 minutes video of what it will be like to go to a banker.https://www.youtube.com/watch?

If I am going to retain the information I need to do more than read the slides and watch the videos. 

Hi Sean, ask the homeowner to provide bright pictures or videos of the home which is what we're doing, that should give you a good idea of the work.

Post videos of your projects on facebook, pics of your projects, let everyone know that you are a real estate investor. 

I would listen to audio and video podcasts, you could check out The Old Capital podcast and check out James Eng youtube page.

You can get a promo code from Max Maxwell's video about PropStream to try it out for free for a bit. 

There are lots of videos about why to do this and advantages.

I cant figure it out, even after watching alot of Youtube videos, and BP poststhe problem with someone's money is the it is finite. if I have 1M dollars, and im investing it in RE, in some point its gonna be over.so thats why people  r  using OPM.but lets say I have 1M and all I want to invest is 1M, and I can choose wether to use it , or use OPM.or lets say I have 1M, but i want to invest 2M. is it better to invest my 1M first and then use OPM?
