Seems like a decent resource for new investors with education and networking opportunities.    

Hi Daniel,Your challenge is common in today’s market.

I got a similar request today.

.: I wanted to get involved in land investing and made a post about it during the summer and have continued to look at it until now.I was questioning if I should trust a land guru in my area so I asked about it and got some feedback.So then I have searched for land investing education programs and a name was at the top on google and I saw he had a lot of information out there.I did research on him and watched a lot of his videos and it all sounded good but I heard him talk about how he now owns over 1000 doors in multi family, so I started thinking about it. 

In additional to conducting educational workshops, I also write blogposts for their websites.

You don't wake up one morning and decide "I'm going to be a brain surgeon today!"

If I switch from blinds to rods, would I a) provide receipts for the rods and deduct in full - receipt furnished to tenant,  2) deduct cost of blinds as priced today but receipt would be for curtain rods, 3) deduct cost of blinds as outlined in the lease but provide receipt for curtain rods (explanation and receipt furnished) 4)  be forced to replace using the same blinds that were installed when tenant arrived n order to deduct. 

I also recommend The David Greene Podcast on YouTube because he is the most genuine, honest educator out there right now.4.

The forums and search [box] is a free REI education.

Lends creadance to the idea maybe in today's markets, it's dead.
