The architectural instructor said it was too many focal points on the same wall.  

In house chef, massage therapist, and yoga instructors.

There's a famous instructor in Socal who does a 3-day training and charges $5k for it.  

Our instructor on this is Mark Kohler of KKOS Lawyers(.com).1.

It is laser-focused on real estate, has practitioner-instructors who actually do what they teach every day, has local support-system communities all over the country, has both local and online daily trainings and a software system that is second to none and includes such things as non-occupied owner properties, out-of-state owners, probate, private lenders and much more. 

One is a self employed contractor with a verified income of about 7x rent the other is a yoga instructor with a verified income of 3x rent.

Until revealed later in the seminar that actually as an S-Corp you have to pay yourself a salary, and the instructor said he pays himself what IRS considers reasonable, which is 30% of the proceeds.

Instructors usually have war stories to help you remember how to apply what you learn.

Those stories told by that local instructor will tell you how things are done locally, some internet course can't possibly go there being 250 miles away in another city in that state, if they are even in that state!

I started with a local school but couldn't handle sitting through hours of class while the instructor basically read a book to us in monotone.
