I am not a coach / mentor nor do I play one on TV.... or have any desire to be.however I have done business and am personal friends with some of the biggest names in the industry over the last 20 years.. most would be vilified on BP so I wont mention their names.

Except for a paralegal who watches too much TV and thinks they know as much as someone who has actually read law books and taken the bar. 

I learned alot from tv.

The TV shows make it look so easy, fast (30 minutes) and profitable.

I attended one of those flipping guru classes with my buddy that are advised on tv and the radio.

Here in Pittsburgh new investments by Google, Apple, Facebook and Autodesk is a true testament to the growing infrastructure here.

Yep, you can kiss TV and You-Tubing good-bye now ;-)

I would intern at what ever real estate companies your interested in.My daughter was interested in finance.. and she interned during collage with a high level appraisal company that did apprasing for emanate domain cases.. and she worked on the one in Napa CA were the state and city bought out a big swatch of the napa river for flood control project and many business had to be relocated from hotel to shopping center to car dealer all of them needed to be valued.. it was high level work she enjoyed it.she then went on to graduate top of her class at Davis CA.. in managerial economics degree and promptly got snapped up my Intel after offers from Apple and Micro soft.now 14 years later she is a SEnior controller and a Dave Ramsey disciple which means at her age home just about paid for 2 kids in grade school and NO debt and a ton of savings and max's out her 401k.. she has little interest in real estate she owns one rental but only rents it to family. that was her path.  

If the house is occupied, make sure the tenants know that their TV will be out for a little while.If you hire roofers, they should make some effort to sweep up the driveway and maybe rake the yard when they finish. 

Really apples and oranges.
