@Account Closed wowzers! yeah you have a nice load on your plate. Good luck finding some time! Im sure you will tho. 

Quick question I am unfamiliar with the 1st suggestion you mentioned earlier, the 100% equity owner strategy. Would you mind going over that, it's sounds interesting. Thanks

Robert S. I know this may seem alil different but it's April from feb till about the middle of May people buy cars. I have a friend that makes a good portion of his income for the year by flipping cars. If you have access to a good mechanic you can piggyback on someone else dealer license and pick you up a few cars that you can make 2-5 grand on. It's not much but you do 5-10 in 45 days that's a min of 10 grand (a lil less after taxes). Just a out the box suggestion.

Hey everyone. I've FINALLY decided to get off the "read all the books and go to all the guru presentations" bandwagon and get in he game. Here's the problem I'm facing and wonder if anyone can relate. I seriously have spent about 4 years doing all this research and amassing large quantities of material only to feel completely clueless as to where to begin and how to make all of what I've learned make sense. Has this happened to anyone else and besides just diving in head first, what did you do to move forward. I'm sorta a need to see it written down and I'm able to follow it kinda guy. HELP BRAIN OVERLOAD!

Harry Schoeller Hey fellas love all the feedback. I've lived on the east side of Pittsburgh my whole life and finally decided to get off the "read all the books and study materials I can" and get into the game. I would like to do a fix and flip to build up my capital and gain some experience, but my area (wilkinsburg/homewood) doesn't seem like a prime spot to do that in or am I mistaken? I've read several of you mention hot areas around the city where can I get a list of the hot areas and find the info to compile my own list? I would appreciate some help from someone who remembers what it was like for them at the beginning. Thanks guys.

@Andrew Johnson I can totally understand your approach. I guess the best way to do this strategy is apply it when you come across a property that checks off 90% of your criteria list. Then you "shouldn't" have to worry to much about the time expiring. Once again as we all know everything is "subject to" change!

@Andrew Johnson I had the same concerns at first until I saw a partner of mine apply the strategy. The key to the whole thing is to sell before the 0% introductory rate expires. Ex: If you currently have a Visa you can call Mstercard/Discovery/Amx and let them know of your interest in applying for a card. They all have intro cards that allows you to basically use there money for free for 6-12 months and say you have a Visa with a high balance of 10k this should be the min start point with the other cards. This will allow you to get the cash you need to proceed to the next deal. Hope that explains it alil better.
