Building a million dollar rental portfolio is a lot easier than you think.

The best thing is you do not have to have a ton of cash in the bank to start buying rental properties.

And even better you don't need nearly as many properties as you think to be a real estate millionaire.

Post: wholesaling with negative equity

Think about that a little bit. Investors want equity. You're describing a situation where not only is there no equity, there is less than no equity.

The only two possibilities I see are:

1. If there is a better use for the property through repurposing or development
2. The seller offers an great seller financing option allowing an attractive cash flow

I've bought seemingly little to no equity rentals before because they cash flowed well. Appreciation takes care of the equity problem over time. Of course, this requires caution.

Not KW, but I would enjoy meeting for all of the above if I didn't live in hot & humid Houston, Texas! ;-) 

Post: Is six figures really the norm to join REI training groups?

6 figures is excessive. I've seen many in the 4 to 5 figure range, as high as $50k.

Some groups offer a lot of value while others are be a waste of money.

Regardless, you do not have to join one to be successful. We flipped over 50 properties before ever joining a mastermind.

Sometimes smaller boothcamps for less than $500 can be helpful to get a quick start. Just know that there is often a high pressure upsell for "next level" course that is much more expensive. 

Post: Wholesaling in PA: Need License... Should I steer away?

PA isn't the first state to do this and there are many others considering it.

This trend will continue. 

If you plan on actively being in real estate for years to come, getting your license can only benefit you. 

How do I handle disclosures?

"Mr. Seller, I am a licensed real estate agent and not someone who took a weekend bootcamp that just wants to tie up your property without any earnest money and steal your equity. During our appointment we'll discuss a few options to consider, including selling it quickly and in as-is condition, a traditional listing, or maybe something different. How does that sound to you?"
