@Sylvia Vandroff  I currently do no business with Nick.. however I have been to his full blown events and I have known him for 15 years.. he started in the turn key space in the mid west and I funded hundreds and hundreds of his deals for him back in the day.he then went to Vegas and his students bought there and they killed it.. perfect timing.then he went to Orlando and they killed it there I funded a few hundred deals there as well for his students.. and those that bought Orlando 3 to 5 years ago when I was doing this for Nick and his team have done VERY well.Fast forward to today and to my knowledge he does not recommend or sell investment properties anymore.. they are fully focused on how to flip properties..

Is it the East, West, North or South sides?
