1. didn't know nothing about nothing but i knew i wanted to be involved in real estate somehow in some kind of way2. became a realtor to learn about the market, working with buyers and sellers, enrolled in real estate school and didn't do anything is real estate for a long time.3. drove 18-wheeler over the road never thought about real estate for awhile but something kept me pulled into real estate, somewhere don't remember where but it got stamped into my brain that real estate residential especially would be the biggest investment someone would ever make just opened my eyes wider.4. made a decision this year to learn as much about the mechanism called "envestor" aka investor, took some workshop training and learned to set a niche that could be the streamline to build my portfolio.5. took action by networking with area realtors that i knew to feed me MLS leads6. set my aim at the Multi-Family sector, it just seems so right for my approach of buy and hold.7. build up my network which lead to me finding 1st deal, 8. got in touch with my lender through my primary bank when i opened line of credit9. interviewed my contractor who i eventually employ which lead to his dad selling me his property, a 2-plex10. staying humble and committed to real estate with a passion to succeed, it is what drives me along with my faith to get up every morning and help my community build and grow stronger than ever, "we are stronger together!" 

Personally I did not enroll in any formal training.

I do play a role in implementing similar programs to the one you're friend's tenant probably enrolled in, but the ones that are completely free of charge are typically dedicated to low income.

What are you looking for specifically.You definitely need someone qualified, does not have to be a CPA, could be an Enrolled Agent or an attorney.

Enrollment is up, town is busy, economy is goodSlight downturn hits the economy, student loan bubble pops (look into this)Lenders stop underwriting student loans or make them much more difficult to getEnrollment drops 15 - 20%Now the student population shrinks by 3,000Rents shrink significantly, vacancy increases significantlyCash flow is squeezed, some investors suffer foreclosure, no profit, etc.I believe that there is a bubble in student loan debt.

I have a question on the legality of what I am about the set up via the tenant enrollment process.

The location of the site and the enrollment data for the University of West Georgia was strong.

I enrolled in real estate classes two months ago (through Rockwell Institute online, which I highly recommend), and am awaiting my state exam; which I'm confident I'll pass.

Not sure what’s on your  credit, if there are maxed out accts, most bankers will do a complimentary rapid rescore but if there are more serious issues you should get enrolled in a credit repair program for couple of months, just make sure is not one you find yourself but the one lender will recommend as internally there at every few that are approved by banks and they guarantee results as they are accountable and they need to provide a forecast on the credit score.
