Developer looking for multi family course w focus rehab/sell

We are in a competition.  An economic competition.  And my intention is to compete with the best of them.  And we're competing at a game that has certain rules and tactics.  That being said in order to compete with the best, you have to know the rules of the game COMPLETELY and understand how its played.  

I barely know how the multi family game is played, but I really, really, really want to learn and am willing to spend whatever I have to to make that happen.  

I am someone who for a long time resisted help from other people because I thought, "hell, I'm smart enough to figure it out myself, I don't need someone to teach me."  And guess what?  I was right.  I could learn it myself.  And I did.  I would dive into the forums, tutorials, podcasts, video's ect. of any subject I was interested in learning.  But it was a very sporadic consumption of knowledge.  I'd be over here one moment, and over there the next.  There was no roadmap, it's literally "pick an article, read it, pick another one, read."  But there's no direction.  And without direction it is hard to measure progress.  It's hard to get excited.  And if you're not excited, you're fighting an uphill battle.  

Then I took a course on securing venture capital and man, was my mind blown away.  For 6 weeks I had a curated list of things to read, listen to, and tests on my understanding.  The beginning was especially enjoyable because all the content was written for someone who was ignorant to the subject (WHICH I WAS!) and was easily understood, allowing me to move on to more complicated concepts.  I was able to build a strong foundation of understanding on which to build.  I cannot stress how important this is.  Not only was my knowledge MORE than what I believe I could have gotten with a self education, but more importantly the knowledge was well built.

When you self educate and just "dive in" to a subject, you never know where you're going to land.  It could be in a book intended for someone who's had tons of experience.  And the result is you struggle through the material with frustration and self doubt.  I'm speaking from experience. 

Am I looking for a program that will teach me everything?  No, of course not.  Such a program doesn't exist.  Only experience can give you that.  But I am looking for something that will say, "With this course you can remove yourself from ignorance.  At the end of it you will have a better than most understanding of the key concepts of multi family investing.  With this understanding you can make fast and real progress."

If you've gotten this far I truly appreciate your time and thoughts.  This is great community and resource and the fact that this place exists and is free is truly mind blowing.
