• Ellen, Milwaukee, WI. "My husband and I just sold our home to downsize and we are trying to figure out what to do with the money -- over $200,000. He's semi-retired, bored, and handy. We've thought about flipping some houses. What advice would you give us?"
• Kandra, Las Vegas, NV "I recently attended a seminar here put on by [a TV personality]. I felt like it was just a sales pitch for a $20,000 course. But I was here for a course and really didn't learn anything. I'm concerned that if I paid the $20,000 I might not learn anything there either. And I don't have $20,000 anyway. So I didn't do it. But I'm back to square one. I really want to learn this business! I don't have any money and my credit has a few dings. Is there any hope for me?"
• D'Wayne, Louisville, KY "How do you decide whether you are going to fix and property and flip it, fix it and keep it, or just wholesale it? I figure there must be a way to figure out the best thing to do with a property. I have a deal under contract for 72,000. It needs updating and paint and carpet. I think I'll get $150,000 for it if I flip it. Or I could rent it out for $900 per month. But another investor just offered me $10,000 for my contract. What would you do?
• Roberto, Long Beach, CA "What do you think the long term consequences for real estate will be in those areas hit by hurricanes. And do you think we will have a similar impact here in California because of all the wildfires?"
• James, Lancaster, PA "I've been researching various REITs and crowdfunding platforms. REITs seem like less involvement from me, which I prefer, but the returns I'm seeing are at best around 6%. With crowdfunding I can get closer to 10% on my money but I have to be a bit more involved. While I'm thinking about it, do you have other options you would recommend?"

• Mike, Homewood, AL "Thanks for a great show. Keep up the good work. I think I want to buy a rental property or two. How do I go about finding them? And what should I be looking for? I have about $120,000 in cash and can buy houses in the outlying areas around Birmingham in the 50-60,000 range."
• Leah, Birmingham, AL "I heard you talk about buying foreclosures in Alabama and that you don't do it. But you also say the foreclosure auction is the #1 source for deals. What are we in Alabama supposed to do?"
• Jill, Lancaster, PA "You give out so much information about how to do this on the show. I can't help but wonder what more you tell people in your training. I haven't been able to get down there for your workshop so far, but please tell me what I'm missing!"
