@Samantha Bradshaw save your money,there is no fast way into this biz by buying in,you found the best site around to learn this biz,read,listen to podcasts,ask questions and most of all be patient 

every single guru going today makes promises,if you are not willing to do the work you will not make a dime.

take 5000 learn your market and start marketing,go to reia meeting,talk to realtors and other investors

good luck,if i can do this biz anyone can 

i have been to all the seminars from FB to ARMANDO to SCOTT YANCEY 

if you can learn something from the free seminar they offer then give that a shot but never buy into the programs

use the money to market

@Stephen Lofthus i get calls often wanting to know if we do free estimates,if it is in a good area i will do it for free,if not i will usually give the estimate to another contractor

i would never pay for them to come do an estimate 
i am a licensed contractor,we never charge for an estimate ever
the box stores in my area charge for them and then give it back if you buy the project

give the potential buyers the address @Barbara Long 

if you dont have the property under contract as @Jon Holdman said you should not market them

good luck, dont give up, this biz is a journey and will not happen over night
