Was of REMentor's program? If so its ran by David Lindahl, famed apartment investing guru . He really knows his stuff. But you will definitely be upsold on the $20-50k one-one-mentoring program . You're not going to get everything you need to know in just 3 days. And they're not going tie you in to their valuable network for just $1500.
You can learn on your own for free but the time it will take, along with the mistakes,may encourage you to pony up the big bucks for the mentoring . ESPECIALLY if you're lifestyle doesn't afford you the late nights & weekends you will spend studying free material. If you're married with a family and don't want take time away from them then you're better off spending the money. However if you're young,single and have the time - then bypass the mentoring and go for it.

With the ultra distressed sellers that I deal with, I don't see it. I'd have to first run into a bunch of rehabbers who are actually good at dealing with distressed sellers for me to believe this. Once I find a rehabber or two who can patiently deal with a distressed seller effectively and not like he deals with his contractors, then I'll believe that wholesaling will become extinct.
I think who will be extinct are those wholesalers who rely strictly on technology to try and get deals.

Why do you need them to see it? The truth of the matter is that they likely won't see it until you produce results. That's what leadership and being a Visionary is all about. Seeing things that others can't and moving forward towards that Vision when others aren't willing to. Everyone else can see it once tangible things actually materialize. They just haven't yet developed their leadership/visionary capabilities. The other day on Facebook I saw a meme that went...
"Have the courage to go first. And then light a fire so that your tribe can find you."
That's what being a leader is all about. Often your tribe or family love and support you but can't necessarily see what you see. That's your job to make it real and convert them to believers.

You need to actually search the county. Often times ownership information from the tax office is simply reflecting who last submitted ownership information to them via letter or phone call. To get an actual and accurate reading of the owner you need to check County records. Whatever Department Records Deeds or deeds of trust.

What "record" are you speaking of James? You can't always go by tax records in terms of ownership as they're not always the most up-to-date records. I would honestly have a "present owner" ( or whatever they call it at you a title company) search done by a title company who should be able to do it for a minimal fee.

I’ve looked at rents in the area and they vary from 1.1k all the way 1.7k depending on the block, most south of S Orange.
Yeah I'm not sure exactly where on the Block you are. Closer to the beginning of that block further away from South Orange and it's really not bad.
And That's wide-ranging rent. I would imagine $1,100 are for existtinh non renovated Apartments. But make sure the $1,700 isn't for new construction. Existing yet renovated Apartments won't get as much as a new/newer construction ones.
