I am almost finished with my CA license and have taken action on a wholesale course sold by another successful 18 year old that I found through social media; however, it is not detailed enough for me and I still have a lot of questions regarding the legality of wholesaling in California, how to find a good deal as well as closing procedures. 

I use rentometer as one of the components of calculating rent.

The latter comes from your social capital with both parties.

Nicholas,Make sure that when your wife adds you to her credit card(s) she makes sure they take your social security number and date of birth. 

Hey BP fam, I want to network in person, like a in-person social gathering- remember the old days!

It makes little sense nowadays as it will all til back to your social security number and you’ll just be reporting a schedule E in the same return if you rent the place in killington at all.  

There are a variety of ways to do this like cold calling, joining social groups, direct mail, knocking on doors, etc.

There's always an ethical vs monetizing component to real estate investing.

I highly recommend finding a successful agent that's active on social media, study their content and determine if it resonates with you.
