We can talk to them and give our suggestions until we are blue in the face but at the end of the day, if someone doesn't want to change their ways and be successful, you can't make them.  

As @Johnson H. suggested better to talk to a real estate attorney before taking action.

Hi allLet me introduce myself first My name is Oron, and I'm from IsraelI found out about this forum while reading Brandon's site\blog\postsI want to start investing in real estate, and I'll soon start analyzing numbers in excel sheet :) I've decided that the US is a good option to startThe problem - I need a company to manage the asset and the process from the beginning I'm not familiar with such companies, and I would love that some of you guys will recommend me on some, and maybe will give me some articles to readThere are a lot of open questions like:How do I know their fees are reasonable? 

@Kay FerdousOne more suggestion:  In your analysis of the property to see if it meets the grade, do not count ancillary income (especially laundry).  

I suggest reading Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Real Estate that is available on this site.

Happy to discuss this further if anyone has any input or suggestions for investing here in upstate NY!!!

Can anyone make a suggestion on good read with solid info on wholesaling and how to get started?

I suggest you take a lesson from them.

I know the obvious suggestion will be to acquire personal equity, but I wanted to know if any of you have successfully used creative ways to fund your first investment. 

I've gathered a D4$ list now I'm trying to figure out how to get the names of the owners, any suggestions?
