Thank you so much for the valuable information!

Networking with other investors can provide valuable insights and support, helping you to navigate the often complex landscape of real estate investment.Remember to factor in potential risks and have a contingency plan in place.

Knowing what NOT to do is often the most valuable advice!

Building a network of agents, contractors, vendors, and tradespeople is something I've spent a lot of time and energy doing, and it is immeasurably valuable in being able to do this.  

Every other mistake I made was valuable and part of the journey.  

While outsourcing overseas may be tempting, I would recommend nailing down your processes prior to teaching someone, or you'll wind up with their processes, at best. 

"Teaching" people how to do subto for $1500/mo or something like that. 

I have seen schemes like that and they are demeaning.This course teaches you how to approach real estate investors, offer them financing for their ventures and then find that financing. 

Besides the failure rate, wholesaling is legal when done right, but most programs teach you to practice real estate without a license which can get you in trouble. 

The other book you mentioned caters more to that audience and gets people hooked on the idea that they can invest in real estate with no money and then teaches them how in subsequent books.
