Our homemade machine is impressive so thought I'd share a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?

Lived up to the videos on it.

What books, videos, podcasts, etc. exist where I can have all the necessary information and confidence to actually go out there and DO a wholesale deal?

I recently watched a couple of videos by John Fedro and Propelio

I’ve done a grant Cardone course and watched videos on YouTube so far.

Echoing the others comments on VA Loan/Triplex or Fourplex route.Here's a simple roadmap for you:- Pick a market- Find a investor friendly real estate agent here for that market- Find a good property manager for that area from these forums (will be gold when you eventually move out of there)- When doing an home inspection, don't skimp - pay extra for the sewer line video scope (that repair is the most expensive nightmare that too many people skimp on), do a mold check, etc.Now with this stuff in mind, you don't need to ask "where do I start?"

make better videos of the propertiesDid you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Even if you just read his blogs and watch his Youtube videos, there is a lot of good info there. 

Is it legal to have a video camera in my vacant rental property when I'm showing it?  

Are you video-ing guests in your house?
