I'm trying to wrap my mind around investing in a place I've never walked the streets, and I'll admit doing everything remotely is somewhat unnerving.

Most people say REI isn't a get rich quick scheme, I think those people never tried wholesaling (:But..... in that short period of time with no marketing on the streets already it seems almost impossible.

Also the drug example was a guy in his 30's or so who inherited his parents house in a nice suburban neighborhood with an elementary school right down the street!
