Who needs to pay a guru when you can just come on BP and be connected to great minds?
I will say I have spent a little bit of money under $500.00 i would say trying to learn about how to invest in real estate. But i can truly say I have learned a lot about real estate on this site. Has anyone else had a similar experience? I have even signed up for Pro despite feeling like the free version was good enough.

you got it and sales skills are wholly under misunderstood and under appreciated.
You can have all the book learning Pod cast listening to reading here. Paid mentor , but if your a wet noodle and can't present quality and close.. and you have no people skills at all this can be a very tough business.. unless you already have a lot of money and are just investing your money.. but if your looking to make a lot of money in RE then you need these sales skills, they are more important than the books skills.. great salesperson will out earn the PHD every day of the week.
