You gambled your investment capital on an internet investment-promoter.

If @Jay Hinrichs said he was starting a perfect Internet grammar course tomorrow, I would know better than to invest $100 in that but a lot of other people would recognize Jay from the forums and think "Well, it's got to be legit because Jay's doing it".

This statement reminds me of a gal I had in college lit class that when the professor asked her how she came up with her dumpster fire of a paper she said "I got it from the internet, and, like, they can't put it on the internet if it isnt true...... right....." 

I don't understand why people use the listing agent and then come to the internet and ask random strangers who have never even been to the property and may or may not have any clue what they are talking about for advice on what to do.

Please adviseThe internet will provide you with all of these details.

S&P 500 beats RE by double.S&P 500 = $900,000Real Estate = $460,000However, these units are good for someone who wants to dip into real estate while using their unit any time they want with the aforementioned owner perks but without the hassle that ownership brings like maintenance, roof, bad tenants, furnishings, bill payments like SDG&E, internet etc.

My thought for this was to give more detail on the expense side, giving rough estimates for things like: insurance, elec, water, gas, internet, maintenance, cap ex, landscaping, and cost to furnish. 

The HOA fees are going to eat into profits weather long or short term, but with short term, the guests get resort amenities and generally cable/internet/trash is also included, so at least you get some benefits.If you want long term, you'll have to make sure the condo is warrantable and the complex has the right mixture of investor to owners.

There are a fair number of good hard money guys with no internet presence, so I wouldn't let that deter me.

I don't know about this program but think logically can anyone learn to make hundreds of thousands of dollars in a 10 hour course.. pretty much anything that would be mentioned in a 10 hour course your going to find on the internet.. and as well just go to E bay and buy used guru course materials and CDs for usually 20 to 50 bucks.. those are worth the money take your time listening to all of those and you should get some understanding.. but at its base.. wholesaling is no mystery.. you simply buy low sell high.. how you do it is you market your rear end off.. wholesaling in the Orlando area dried up about 3 years ago.. most of the bigger players exited the market simply not enough deals ..
