BE VERY CAUTIOUS before you sign up for this course.  He is associated with Phil Pustejovsky.  Make sure you get an attorney's opinion to read the enrollment contract they want you to sign.  In addition, they required me to sign additional documents AFTER I enrolled and paid for this course and the requirement to sign these documents were not disclosed prior to enrollment and payment. Also, I found out from the attorney at the title company that the cloud on title they required me to implement at the county office could only be released by their "3rd party escrow" company (which they required you to use) that which the title attorney found was unlicensed and not really an escrow company despite having the word "escrow" in their company name. Decide for yourself if this is something you are comfortable with.  I have the emails to verify all that I've described.

This is what I learned and has been my own personal experience:

1. I was better off taking a course from a local REIA and networking with other local investors that know the local market and understand the varying abilities of the local title and escrow companies. Not all title and escrow companies are investor friendly. This was what was lacking with Peter Harris. He said it was OK to let the seller choose the title company and that proved to be a disaster.

2.  I ran across an experienced LOCAL investor that work with his students to go on appointments and help talk to the seller. 

3.  The mentor/instructor that is local has their reputation and local business relationships at stake.
