Well, I and my fiance - a professional and MBA respectively - went to the 2 hour then 3-day seminar curious to see what the system was and looking for a structure to emulate or even 'pseudo-franchise' as we go about learning real estate investing.

This is an entire essay unto itself.

You seem to need a great dela of clarification on many points.You did not identify yourself to me as an attorney, and the essay you typed suggested some seriously flawed knowledge - or too much cold medicine, not sure which.As I mentioned, you can't run a business you haven't built, and NO ONE who is not independently wealthy should own properties in their own name.

I'm 19 years old, currently pursuing an MBA at the University of Connecticut.

In other words, just assume that supply adjusts fully to accommodate demand.)This is a question in my MBA business finance course.

I manage the properties myself and have done many of the renovations (based on YouTube videos and Home Depot).My background is accounting and finance: CPA/MBA (Columbia University).At this point, I'd like to transition out of the sweat equity phase and into building a team and growing.I'm curious how others have managed that transition.  

I work full time as an assistant at a oil and gas company and I'm also a full time student at Angelo State University working towards a Masters in Business Administration (MBA).

You can make great money and you don't need an MBA or $50,0000 in your bank account.

The post contended that MBA degrees are not worth much anymore because these days entrepreneurs can just 'on their own' get large social media followings and then they can be positioned to market and capitalize on their audience. 

I'd take a few business courses, for sure, but in my view the "good stuff" doesn't really come until graduate school.And then, I'd send myself to the absolute best school I could borrow my way into, damn the cost.I once looked into going to Wharton for an MBA as an adult (the regular program, though, for two years full-time), and I came to learn that, at least at the time, PNC Bank would loan you 100% of the tuition cost, and they qualified you for the loan solely based on the fact that you got into Wharton.
