You can give an awful lot of people all the knowledge in the world and they'll sit on their butts and twiddle their thumbs and pray for enlightenment forever rather than actually do anything.Stop blowing inspirational double-talk up people's butts. 

Maslow's Hierarchy....Food, water, shelter are the basic building blocks of humanity and order, without them things like love, enlightenment, self-realization(the higher levels of the hierarchy) are much less likely to be achieved.Not only are we involved in providing one of those basic building blocks, it does not take a genius or a ruthlessly competitive person to eventually earn a high social status(wealth) from the fruits of our labor and sacrifices.

@Tim G.Thank you for this refreshingly enlightened perspective and calling out the lack of empathy and understanding about long lasting effects of racial racial in equality on wealth, particularly in real estate, in addition to other social issues.

Kind of seems like this deal was taken by a scammer... this is a very enlightening thread with regards to why virtual wholesaling is NOT for everyone. 

I appreciate you taking the time to enlightens us newbies.

I was hoping hoping this class would enlighten me.

Partner with a family member already active in the mid-west area on a duplex or multi family (with likelihood of requiring financing).I should note that I am not entirely a RE novice as I have learned some lessons from an investment property I already own back in the UK with a large chunk of capital tied up (was intended to serve as a home rather than launching my RE gig; this was pre Rich Dad/ Richest Man in Babylon enlightenment...!)

You no doubt have more experience than me, so please enlighten me! 

We have an enlightened millennial here to grace us with his presence and wisdom.

(As mentioned) Art of the deal and art of the comeback by Trump are entertaining and very enlightening reads.Best of luck to you!
