I am a high school teacher in Colorado and I am always looking to help young people get started in real estate investing or help in any way I can.

I just don't see how people can get all these assets so quick on one salary.

The ones that people walk away from.

Found some good contractors, painters, floor installers, that I've already recommended to people and will again if you ask.

Well their only option really.Anyway, this is the direction they are heading, and for the moment finding some success.Thank you to BiggerPockets.com, ROCusa.org and the people that are making this possible. 

What I am hearing from people is that alot of the info is either old or incorrect, for example the property sold months ago or the owner isn't interested in selling

BP is another of those sources as you can look at reviews on the profile page and actually talk to people here on BP who have used a QI. 

Stick around the forums, ask questions, reach out to people who seem to know about what you want to do and you'll be great.

But I think that advice is sound for a lot of people who are looking at shiny objects.

I have had more success in finding off market properties from people who know me than any other method.
