Sounds like you can't go wrong unless you overspend on the renovation. So resist the urge and remember section 8 folks won't care about exposed brick and loft like amenities. Save that good stuff for your own living quarters! You are very brave indeed. Kudos...

@Tawana Keah Sorry for the delay. Had to take a couple months off but I'm back. You have to tell me more about DFW. I've only been there once like 2007 for a convention and haven't been back since. I am however open to the idea. Let's talk offline for sure. Thank you for offering your assist.

Hi Trina,

Just to add my 2 cents from experience with a similar RE education company, My sister and I are still paying off a $35k loan for the courses we took in February 2014. We have yet to do our first deal. Trying to invest in NYC or the five boroughs is proving to be a completely different playing field when you take into consideration the investor mentors teaching you all invest in places like Kansas, Florida, etc. Their skills with investing didn't fit when looking at properties in Brooklyn & Queens. I mean our mentor was literally baffled by how lax our MLS system was outdated and practically unregulated compared to where he invests out in the mid-west. Not to mention he himself is a broker. Thoroughly research FB before taking the plunge. In comparison to my company, I did like that you have a lifetime membership for the price of mastery. At least that's what I was told. They are all about supporting their students which I wish I had. Imagine paying $35,000 for one year access to recorded courses that expired after 30 days of the initial live viewing. And to boot, no network for you to connect with fellow students unless you were smart enough to get the numbers from the other folks who signed up the same day you did. I still get calls asking if I'd like to continue my education with a mentor for an additional $35,000. I'd rather take that money and go finally do a deal, pay for marketing, etc. Just some food for thought. Hope it helps.

Jack, I could put you in touch with my investing mentor. He's very experienced and trustworthy. He can answer questions for you before you spend anything. Let me know if that would help.

Is this a kid friendly event? Have a guest who doesn't want to miss this but will have her 10 yr old in tow.
