The five people you spend the most time with will influence you.

I‘m also happy to travel to speak to groups or provide 1:1 coaching along your purchasing experience. 

These marketers would have the novice investor believe that the narrow focused “education” they provide combined with the “holy grail” formula (wholesaling, subject to, flipping, lease option, discounted note purchase, etc.) is most, if not all, anyone needs to become “independent” and successful, usually by month 12.

Every house I have purchased was sold "as-is" (good opportunities) and had no bearing on the deal.

To add to @Ashish Acharya, I would recommend using your retirement funds for notes that earn a nice interest rate, if you're into self directing.Given that you want to purchase a short term rental, I'd highly recommend not doing this within an IRA/401k.
