John Locke / Subject To
I'm not a real-estate investor, I'm not even an investor yet. I wont say so until I at least sink some money into one property.
I bought the CS "No Money Down" crap and immediately recognized that this stuff seemed out of date and one-sided. I sent it back and began doing more research online. I've been touring neighborhoods and talking to a few people who I happen to run into and want to actually sink my teeth in. Before hitting this site, I realized that "Subject To" seems like a decent way to start.
I'm considering purchasing some products from John Locke that I have seen many people recommend. I wanted to see if anyone might recommend which product to purchase first and what professionals I should be contacting right away.
I'm not looking to get rich quick and I'm not looking to make something out of nothing. I realize this business requires time and I'm willing to read. I'm hoping that some of you experienced and successful players in this game could point me to the right resources to read and people to get in my "team" first.
I read an article from John Locke that stated an attorney is the first resource so I am doing that this week.
Recommendations are appreciated.
John's subject-to course is the best I have ever seen!
TTitus,
Glad to meet you.
You will have some fellow students up your way that will be more than willing to help you pick your team.
As a matter of fact Joel the owner of this site is in your area and I walked him through his first Subject To deal.

John, Since you are on this site directly, can you recommend which of your products to start off with? It looks like you have two different subject to products to learn from. Should I get them both or are they redudant?
TTitus,
Nice to have you on the board. J$L's books are excellent. I bought the single book by itself a few months ago. I read it over and over. I have recently bought the "full course" as well and am trying to make time to read it on my lunch at work. (Time at home is spent on important things like research!)
The full course does include the first book, so you can either buy the whole thing at once, or buy the first one and get a discount when you buy the rest of it.
I also had the CS course. It has collected dust for a number of years now, although it was a good primer for those who are starting at ground zero.
If you get either the first book or the whole course, you will have a headstart on this little thing called Sub2.
Best,
Ryno
Well, I am all for the start. But I tend to absorb material quickly so I'd like to have as much to read and absorb as fast as possible.
As an example, i went through the entire CS thing in a day and a half sent it back on the second day I had it in my posession. While I agree the CS course may be a "primer" I doubt seriously that it would get me what I want -- a "start to finish" guide that give me enough info to buy and sell properties myself.
I realize I may also be looking for something that doesn't exist. I'm used to working in the computer programming field where everything has a detailed API and help with examples. This may not exist for real-estate so forgive me if I seem "pushy".
Glad to hear that I have some company up my way that has used the J$L information. I'll go ahead and buy the large course so I can burn through it. Of those that have bought it, and have since bought properties Sub2, what was your next step after the course? I'd like to line that material up next so I don't have a gap from the J$L books to the step after that.
BTW, This forum is awesome!
Thanks so much for all your advice guys. I really appreciate it. I can't believe there are this many people helping each other within the same career.
Once you get John's course you also get access to his subto web site. Tons of archived info and current lively discussions. Its GREAT!!
John
Awesome. I'll be purchasing the course in short time. Thanks for your responses everyone.
