I am looking for some guidance on any type of book or program that will give me a good overview of different areas (i.e. wholesaling, bird-dogging, short sales, pre-foreclosure, notes, etc.) so that I can see if one of them seems appealing to me.

Steph, The owner is going to be very involved in a short sale.

What's the difference between residential and commercial construction aside from the fact that the former involves homes and the latter, buildings for business rentals or institutions like hospitals?

I ask these questions, because I have been asked to get involved in a large project in the area for marketing and sales.

For now, there are still 4 days for everyone to get involved in this one!

I've bought the Carlton Sheets course, did a "mentoring" program with Peter Conti and took a course with Russ Whitney.

I don't know if there are many mentors out there that help people trying to get involved, or if there are people looking for young motivated people to work with them.

If the property is on the MLS, including an REO, the agents involved are probably going to insist on a larger earnest money amount.Jon

Maybe they can offer you some sort of workout program.

In the case of landlords, it could be that their property was involved in a drug bust; that they've been dealing with the tenant from hell; that they're being sued; etc.
