These marketers would have the novice investor believe that the narrow focused “education” they provide combined with the “holy grail” formula (wholesaling, subject to, flipping, lease option, discounted note purchase, etc.) is most, if not all, anyone needs to become “independent” and successful, usually by month 12.

But, it is not some holy grail of great deals that will overflow your pipeline of possible purchases.So, if you are needing a deeper pipeline of deal flow, yes, auctions can be another place to look for deals.  

We’ll actually be in Baltimore next week for our Anniversary.My wife loves Crabcakes, So I’m bringing her to the Holy Grail.   

Going direct to client is the holy grail but is more difficult.

Like a tornado with a firebomb.....Holy Smokes!

Holy cow, don't you have a contract that specifies when and how much draws are to be submitted and paid? 

holy cow if you do..  

It saddens me to see millions of people strapped to their jobs, trying to protect their holy grail 401K, until they are 60, and then start taking their "distributions", having a couple of decades left to live.

Sure it can work for some but it is an uphill battle and like @Travis Timmons said, you are losing out on appreciation...the Holy Grail...I would just start buying property, some may work as STR, some may not....but they all should work as LTR.

I wonder if Mitch was able to get his refi done before a NOD was filed and or late payments were put on the orginal sellers credit report.. this is the real risk to the seller if they value their fico score at all.. on some of this stuff the sellers credit is already trashed and they dont care.. but if folks buy from someone that does care holy cow when they get the NOD notice its right to the attorney..
