I'm not trying to make this venture complicated or even hit home runs on every deal.

I am planning on not resigning my lease and starting of my RE venture.

Start with $8K through FHA loans, joint ventures, private money loans, crowdfunding platforms, and BRRRR strategy.

If this is your first venture, your presence at the property will be very important, there is a learning curve, factor in your travel time and other commitments.

Would starting a real estate investment venture hands off using a property management agency be profitable enough to still keep growing in the REI business?

Reason I ask is there are going to be a lot of real estate ventures where ALL money is lost, and many are due to poor management or buying a deal they should not buy.

Let us know how it works out; this could be a fantastic venture for you.

Agreed... depends on your skill level.. if you have no experience at real estate other than maybe buying your personal resi.. and want to venture into this I can't see how the course would not be a good use of funds.if you have 20 years as an experienced investor or real estate broker then the course maybe is not needed.. but the contacts I am sure are worth every penny..  

A bit of a bummer but I guess this is the way it goes when we venture into less tried tried and true investments.

I haven't ventured out to the valley yet because I've still been happy with the opportunities here in Anchorage.
