It sounds like you don't necessarily know each other well and met him at a conference and thought you would pick his brain into how to be successful in real estate.Honestly reading a handful of good real estate books is pretty much the same information as what a lot of the workshops and expensive courses will teach you anyway.

Supposedly they run full underwriting except for the actual property address before the client is even allowed to go out and look at properties.For whatever reason, the leads I've dug up have never followed through with the required workshop and counselor meeting. 

I went to the free workshop he never showed up. 

For your convenience, I am posting the invite below.https://www.eventbrite.com/e/adu-workshop-saturday-february-2-2019-tickets-54381086293

Did some nice landscaping (it was an unsually large lot with a garage and an extra workshop/autoshop off the back driveway.

They sold very quickly.Did the pole barns act as garage space for parking their cars, or simply storage/workshop space for tenants? 

After spending quite a long time of deciding how I intend to pursue financial freedom, I ran into a very young Real Estate Investor at an entrepreneurial workshop catering to military Veterans I attended in Austin, Texas late last year.

I've caught the real estate investing bug after going to a 3-day real estate investing workshop in early December 2018.

Most of my working knowledge came from learning from other investors either one on one or workshops.

So, after day 1 of the 3 day workshop, I emailed one of the “consultants” there and advised that I would not attend the remaining 2 days of training.
