I still get this call about 2 times a week from guys that are getting in the business to make a mint. They don't have any credit, they don't have any money but they are going to flip houses!!
They usually don't even have a clue about where to start, but they want to replace their job income in two months!!!!
Crazy
Then I am a buzz killer when I tell them to go back to work LOL!
I even had one guy that said that he did not have a job, any money, or any credit, in fact he is on disability and filled bankruptcy about 6 months ago, but the rich dad guys said he could flip houses easily!!!!!
Now don't get me wrong it is not that you cannot do this. Or that you cannot do this without credit or money. But if you do not have either one of those things you have to have some sort of educational advantage or at least a time and motivational advantage. Hell I started with crappy credit and no money, but I pulled myself up by my bootstraps and busted my butt to get it done. I worked 10 shifts a week waiting tables and looked at at least 15 houses per week to make offers and attended at mentor class in person locally. All this at the same time. Sleep was not that important. I went at it like that for 2 years solid before I let my wife quit working, and another year before I did the same. I had built my passive income to cover my monthly bills at that point, so I could justify jumping out there.
So I guess I am not a buzz killer, but I can just smell it on them when they want it easy and don't want to work for it, which in this market will not work at all.
