You don't need to know everything to get started; you need a foundation to build on, and the rest will come through experience and then refining your education.You can build a basic understanding of investing in 3-6 months.

At this time the primary goal is passive income and then scale within 5 years as I gain more experience and network. 

However, from a real world day to day experience it's a totally different animal.

I have sent you a connection request too.I'm curious too - what did you end up doing? 

I have no doubt that I would learn any new avenues quickly considering my current experience, but I would still be taking a step backwards for the time being.

Now, I'm stepping into the investor role myself and looking to learn, grow, and connect with like-minded individuals.I'm eager to share insights from my lending experience while also gaining knowledge from seasoned investors.

I'd say three months on the short end to six months on the long end.Oh!

I wanted to know more but all of my life experience up until that point had shown me that this must be a scam.

Then paint with a real expensive quality paint like Behr high-end products.

Most of the lenders I work with (provided you have experience and a credit score over 660) would do up to 85% of the purchase price and up to 100% of the rehab costs, provided this doesn't exceed 75% of the ARV.As for the idea of selling the land, great idea.
