The proceeds of this are NOT commission, you arent acting in an agent capacity, nor are you pretending to.

Sounds like a scam I have heard of where people pretend to own a rental property.

I don't feel that membership is a positive investment; even in class room during half an hour practice of the whole 3 days course I could see that ends don't meet and to find a note worthy to work with is not that easy as they pretend it is.

I would get a 1003 app filled out and see a mortgage broker, and pretend I had 3.5% down for a FHA loan.If the mortg broker said I had everything else, credit, d/e ratio, etc, I would consider the L/O for my family.

A pretender mentor will cost you money , lost time, and may kill your spirit.Get educated on your own first so you can make a better decision,J.Scotts book is a great start.

Look at rent.com & rentmetric.com, maybe even pretend to be a renter and go look at some comparable apts in the area.
