@Andrew MeyerBoth methods work out to about exactly the same for me.

You should also be aware that there are two methods to use your 401K money in real estate investing.

Investors could have different methods to accomplish the same goal.

I think I could use a cheaper method to reach people; so why not direct mail?

Rules including but not limited to;Tithing, if you're religious- When I was religious I never really understood why I "had' to tithe to reach success in business.Using the law of attraction- I am a positive thinker so I use this method for the most part.Donating to charity/iesCutting off ALL friends that aren't motivating or doing anything with their lives....Completely cutting them off, as in not even an occasional catch up lunch.

You also might consider doing the "Franklin" method of decision making.

None of which was very appealing to me and then, real estate it was that brought curiosity to learn everything about it.I am 24 looking forward to learn as much as possible about real estate (both conventional and nonconventional methods).

I would really love to hear from people in the Worcester Massachusetts area who have used these methods successfully in their deals!  

I see you're just starting out, I urge you to learn the basics of real estate before trying to deal in real estate, the gurus don't teach the basics, just the schemes.I have several methods of how to buy and sell a property that meets the goal of wholesaling legally and ethically on BP as well as in other materials which are free.

I've seen other financing methods, but the numbers don't seem to work for me.
