I have always been one of those people who don't want to end up working for someone to make them rich and I consider myself and entrepreneur since I run a couple of ecommerce sites:www.5hpstickers.comwww.customcarcases.comwww.islandimportperformance.comI have always wanted to get into real estate and began reading into wholesaling after someone on the "Millionair Fastlane Forum" made a post about her mentoring of others and how they didn't take action so she gave away her course for FREE so she could find people who would actually follow through with her step by step guide.

We are under no illusion that this a get rich quick deal and are really interested in learning from the ground up.At this point, I guess it would be helpful to learn where to find local 'investor friendly' allies like a title company, attorney and RE agent.

I have a full time job but ever since I read Rich Dad, Poor Dad I have seen the light!!!

This is not meant to criticize wholesalers I hope that is clear - I was just thinking that for every solid, good wholesaler there are a few (or more) folks who just jumped in trying to get rich following a book or seminar?

There was a blog post recently ... those that were looking to get gold in the gold rush were not the ones getting rich -- it was the ones selling the pick axes, gold pans, etc.

It goes like this:Conventional Loan-Cheaper,low interest rates,hard to qualify,requires good credit and decent DTI ratioHML-Very expensive,very high interest rates,high points but easier to qualify than traditional loans and some will roll costs into the loanPrivate Money Loan-More expensive than standard loans but cheaper than a HML,more beneficial but harder to find if you dont have rich friends or relatives,must be SEC compliant if marketing to find private lendersThere are other types of loans such as portfolio,bridge and mezzanine but those 3 are typical loans that investors use or at least try to use.

Now you don't have to spend thousands of dollars going to a "Get Rich Quick in Real Estate with No Money and Terrible Credit" seminar.

This looks like a great site rich with information about real estate.
