I’ve picked up a few books on wholesaling since this post and in the midst of tax season I’m trying to plan ahead.

Flipping in Davis County, UtahI'm a newbie to rehabbing houses and I'm in the middle of reading the Book on Flipping Houses.

Instead of open houses, take that same 45 minute window and book everybody in it.

I have taken initiative to learn as much as possible through books, podcasts, blogs, BP, and other resources (still a lot to learn!). 

I am a huge advocate for constantly educating myself through books, videos, seminars, and programs not just for real estate but for personal development and sell for film.

I learned more on my 1st deal than I could have possibly found in a book.

Like Jay said, make it a charitable venture for the year (your time and effort) - absolutely nothing wrong with that and you would get kudos in my book.

It's a great starter book and will make you know more than 90% of other investors.  

If you don't mind, I'm going to share with you a step-by-step guide that commercial brokers in NYC like myself would use:1) Check market demands: Before anything, you'd need to find sales and rentals reports for your neighborhood and check the current inventory.
