Also, do you have written materials from which to study or is it all online?

Any of you studied the Bohemian Grove?

He was taught by Jim Rohn which is another great personal development coach to study.

Found The Deal With Postcard...Subscribed To Every Wholesaler Buyers List In Town...Studied What Type Of Properties They Bought, What Area and How Long It Was Taking Them To Sale Them...Call The Wholesaler's That Were Buying and Selling In My Area...

Haven't started portfolio yets, though I have been studying that end of things.

Many academicians have extensively studied and authored articles discussing the workings and failings of the US deposit insurance system.

Alot of them just don't know any better, and have not spent the time to study the industry to know exactly how it all works.Just like a mechanic who is a "parts changer" vs a "technician" who takes the time to diagnose and solve the problem, and not the symptom.I see a TON of people who flocked to Real Estate for "THE EASY MONEY" who are now suffering because it takes knowledge, systems, the right tools, good coaching, and most importantly the mentality that I'm in this business to "fix the market" vs those who want to make the easy money!

The big assumption is based on a large study of many many properties that shows the AVERAGE Operating Expenses will be 50% of Gross Rents.

I have been studying the 50% rule and how to use that to calculate an offer price.

I would study up on landtrust if this is the type of investment scenarios you want to go after.
