And while there IS free training sessions at KW, a lot of the good stuff costs money and is why their business model is so successful.Good luck with whatever you decide and I hope my points gave you some more to think about and to look into more options than simply those two.

Brandon Turner has a great book on creative Real Estate financing strategies: Investing in Real Estate with No (and Low) Money DownSurround yourself with those achieving what your goals are.It’s so important to surround yourself with mentors in the real estate business.

He's become a great friend and mentor to us.

Read Mentor 1 post.Use the lookup function with my name.  

And I really enjoyed how there was no immediate rush for the live q&a sessions.

These “mentors” suggest methods that are DANGEROUS in the hands of the inexperienced, unknowledgeable, and under capitalized.  

Heck- this legislative session, the state just passed a law stating that no city can pass any laws regarding rent controls or limiting the fees that a landlord can charge.

When I started, I had a mentor who would help me broker those deals because he had a lot more experience.  

Nothing is free and if you can force yourself to educate yourself for free that's good, but what is it worth to have mentors that will actually answer your questions and steer you in the right way, also experienced investors that you can bring your situations to and get help.

A follow up on this: do you all have mentors that you go to before making big R/E decisions?
