If you wanted to work with a developer/builder, I would think with our engineering backgroud, you should be able to be a project manager, forward planning, even acquistions associate, albeit with some training. 

@Cameron Davis  If you took the training, NAR-National Assoc. of Recovery Residences, you would be able to screen a sober house operator or start your own. 

ok, so I have paid a lot of money for guru training over the past 3 years.

Part of this is on you you allowed them to move in and stay 5 years without it and trained them their behavior is acceptable.  

I've self managed after getting excellent training and I still made mistakes.

My military training has me always looking at the Intel (data) to drive my decision making process. 

I just can't imagine this advice working.I give out free a thorough sub to training with complete examples of ALL docs and how to fill the contract out and added verbage to get the seller to initial.   

For us, the hands on training and meeting other student's at their investment properties and directly learning about their buy, rehab, sell and/or hold experiences is valuable.

But after doing some research, it looks like I need to do 2k hours of training.

I see two ways of attacking this: - Paid mentorship/training- Teach myself (YouTube videos, Reading, Trail by Fire basically) I am leaning towards the paid option because I do have the capital to pay for a program.
