@Peter Trifan what are you hoping to gain from a course - actual builder knowledge or just a license?

This would also make a big difference when calculating your net gain. 

The $10,000 course helped 90% of the students feel more confident and they gained $80,000 in equity by the time the year was over while the $2000 course only helped 50% gain $40,000 in equity but limited the loss to only $2000 if they didn't do anything with it.  

You will probably be handling more tenant disputes, talk the tenants through gaining their footing in the world again with money, bill paying, interacting with the general population, etc.  

@Joel Siguaw, people who do well with anything are those who gain a passion for it.

Make sure that whatever deal your looking at, you have the cash to enter, and realize your probably not going to receive back that equity + the gain on investment via appreciation, until you sell. 

I’m a real estate investor and they have allowed me  the ability to focus on doing what I’m best at closing deals, helping distressed sellers and bringing value to the communities around me.But like it’s been said in other post, it takes some time to really gain momentum with this type of marketing.

You’re able to learn the basics of a real estate investment with lower risk and build equity at the same time.With 5% down, returns on cash invested could be huge when you factor in the appreciation gains.

Visibility drives clickability, and not using the full length of the ad to add keywords and business-related details is a missed opportunity when you’re fighting for every click in Google Ads.Conclusion:If you know you want to get off-market seller leads from Google, and already committed the budget for it, make sure your ads are optimal and that your keyword selection will not cause you to appear on ones that will waste you time and money.The Google Ads landscape is fiercely competitive in today’s market, demanding an investment of several thousand dollars per month to gain meaningful traction.

Despite the challenges, many investors see the potential for capital gains as outweighing the operational complexities.
