For me and perhaps for you, some additional success and income could come from finding more deals directly and selling them to others ... bird dogging or wholesaling.  5.  

I post on FB constantly asking if anyone knows about rough properties in their area, looking to make extra money(bird dogging- don't pay until it closes) , and craigslist. 

However I learned the hard way that you can't always chase returns, especially when you are located out of state.

Furthermore, in hot markets like Philly, while I can see his method working for single family homes, I think it would be a much more of a challenge to get a multi-unit apartment owners to bite because there is just so much money chasing multi-family dwellings in Philly these days.

I would have been chasing this rabbit 40 days ago instead of 5 days before close if I had the correct information. 

My idea in getting a real estate license was more to kill two birds, so to speak, in that I don't have a job or profession in the US and I thought that this might be a way to get some income so that getting loans would be easier (as I'd really like to try to leverage my money) and sort of get the inside scoop on properties coming onto the market in my area.
