I can actually keep my license with him anymore and now I'm wondering what to do.

Especially in Indianapolis in the fall heading into winter the MLS has listings all day long at great deals with great cashflow, using actual numbers and actual comps.  

So far, It's been hearsay and haven't met anyone who has actually done this. 

Up to now, I've been following them on Youtube but in an old show i was listening to recently (a new years show, i think) Josh and Brandon mentioned that the shows actually get recorded but come on Youtube weeks later.

I have a semi-organized plan, but before I invest a significant amount of time and money I was wondering how many here have actually used either lease options, master lease options or seller financing in the Dodd-Frank era?

@William Murrell I am actually waiting on two banks to approval or deny my loan on this property.

I've always been interested in investing, but it wasn't until recently when I bought a primary that real estate became a reality and interest for me.

I am already using LoopNet, but I think I need an actual broker that can run comps and help me analyze deals.

Three brief thoughts:1) at some point prices will make new highs. 2) it's been 8-11 years since "2005-2008".3) you're not accounting for inflation, so prices haven't actually reached "those" levels quite yet.
