I had a friend bring me with her to Vegas to watch a presentation about Dean and the success of his deals. I almost met Matt there and I even won a few prizes. Now, two years later, my friend and I have filed bankruptcy and have not completed any deals. Real estate is something that I have always been interested in. However, I paired with someone who dives head first in many get rich quick schemes. I reside in the state of Illinois. Here, bird dogging is illegal so that isn't an option. Is there anyway for me to start deals? I watch the videos and red a few deals.. Just looking for a little direction please.
