Just from the way you presented your intro, it's clear you are driven and passionate about real estate.

Not only does this lower your taxable income, but it also allows you to support a cause you’re passionate about.

I've emailed back and forth and had some conversation with him and by all accounts appears to be someone who is passionate about his system and believes it will work for me and seems to be working for him - so he's had to talk me off the ledge a couple times already.  

If real estate is the thing you are most passionate about, buy some short term rental properties to get more cashflow in your pocket.You could pay all cash and buy an oceanview condo in Myrtle beach for $150k.

I am passionate about day trading but real estate has been a field that I've been wanting to dive into.

(Calling any real estate lawyers to comment.)Assuming one could live with the litigation risk, I would propose three options for buyer prospects to tour listings: 1) A buyer’s agent from another brokerage could schedule a tour OpenDoor-style, but with no compensation offered from the listing agent or seller 2) If the buyer has no agent from another brokerage, a buyer’s agent from mine could accompany the prospect and open the door for a fee ($25-50) 3) if a prospect insists on touring alone, for scheduling reasons or any other, the prospect would have to show proof of funds/lender pre-approval and pass a background check (this last part could pose challenges) You're passionate about the idea, I can see, and I'm not saying none of that could or would work, but in my honest opinion you're looking for a nugget of gold in a sea of desert here.

I'm a sucker for anyone that says financial education because I have an enormous passion for business and I value education more than money itself.
