Just Google real estate wholesaling courses and pick a program that you feel comfortable with.Again, yes you can learn everything you need in Bigger Pockets, but not in an organized time efficient manner like a course.   

Stay hungry.

I would stay open to splitting the equity as tenants in common - your first deal should be about experiencing a successful deal not having 100% ownership.

Just by looking at it I told him it was a good price and didn’t expect it to stay on the market.

Stay persistent, you will have huge up and downs, I have had months were I made $35,000.00 and thought I was invincible, and I have had 3 months without a closing.

Rentroll and a T12 is what should make you comfortable.

I’d prefer to stay in Ankeny as opposed to Des Moines.

That could be a great way to find and stay engaged with local investors, realtors and opportunities. http://www.biggerpockets.com/alertsLooks like you've already made some connections with other BP members in your area...You can also search for other investors or brokers in your market and follow their journey on Bigger Pockets here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/search/usersBest of luck to you and look forward to following your success on BP!
