@Cornelius CharlesI am also a beginner wholesaler in Moorpark, and I personally was thinking of writing a weekly blog or post of some sort after reading the book "The Art of Non-Conformity" By: Chris Guillebeau .

They claim to be an assistant of sort and even schedule my open houses (I have to tell them what days I want to be there for this)...

A quick Google reveals that both MN and ND have some sort of TDR or conservation easement programs, although I couldn't find a home page for either.

I am just sort of responding as a thought process.
