Quote from @Scott Mac: You want to be told how to buy 167 doors (for keeps) in 5 years, starting with 50k?

I would think a detection device would be easy to fool or disable, and difficult to prove in court.I would focus on inspections and look for the following evidence, then document with pictures, written warnings, demands of cleaning/repairs, and follow-up inspections.

You need to look at the credentials of the person offering the education and whether it is him offering the education or just one of his assistants.The cost should also be reasonable, in my opinion.If you are taking a class, not a personal 1v1, I don't understand why a class would cost more than $100 an hour.If you are getting 1vs1 communication, I can then see it costing $300+if the person does not have an visable experience, I would not consider paying for the experience.I also question these investors being oversold on someone they don't need.In my opinion, a person can retire by getting 10 homes backed by fannie mae / freddie mac loans.The oversell to getting outside capital to get a large complex is likely being sold to investors who don't have / make a lot of money.
