I've been listening to all of the BP podcasts since the beginning, 1 or 2 of them per day plus watching any webinars or whatever on the Youtube channel while I drink my morning java.  

I have read a few posts and seen a few videos mentioning Craigslist as a way to find deals and market.

It would be a high risk/reward ratio for buyer and a quick profit for tax deed investor (me).I have been watching videos from an experienced investor in Florida who uses this as his business model, and just wanted to get feedback as to if it is feasible in Texas.  

What are some good books, videos, podcasts, etc. you would recommend? 

I have watched a lot of his free videos and have gained a fair amount from them.  

I came across this video today from Kevin Ward on how to pass the exam your first try. https://youtu.be/hJ7rIM-kdI8Hope it helps some of you!

I go watch the podcasts on youtube and Itunes, also there are some great blog posts to read here. 

Someone just sent me a video about the Freedomsoft program.
