I would also like to know that if you take a HELOC out on the property, what form or vehicle of investments would allow me to place multiple offers on different projects?

Tub was cracked due to not being supported. 2) No access panel required by code for the pump, the pump was in the rear of the tub buried under the tub deck. 3) No thermostatic anti-scaled mixing valve required by code for the roman tub filler 4) No dedicated circuit for the pump required by the manufacturer, the electrical for the tub was piggy backed on the vanity lights 5) no GFCI protection on the tub as required by code  6) no grounding of the tub motor as required by code 7) ABS drain glued to PVC drain pipe with ABS glue 8) the tub valve connections  uried with no access were IPS threaded stainless steel flexible water lines instead of hard sweated copper connections, (lost count on all the shark bites they used, they must buy them in bulk) 9) all the tile was tiled directly on the plywood of the tub deck, no underlayment to prevent the tile from being popped and the grout cracking from moisture getting to the plywood...the list goes on and on.. oh and the tub filler valve was located on the back side of the tub, not a code violation but certainly not user friendly for somebody to have to climb basically into the tub or over it to turn the water on, but that's minor in the scope of all the code violations and poor workmanship, that's just poor design.

Real estate is a fantastic vehicle to develop wealth but it can take away everything just as easily! 

The major difference between gurus/REI education is that there needs to be a big incentive for a single guru or real estate education vehicle to build a comprehensive knowledge base for Real Estate education that can fully address all the different types of people looking to learn about REI and the different gaps in education they will have in a cohesive way.  

I recently graduated from Montclair State University as a Business major, and have to decided on real estate as my vehicle for accumulating passive income.

A clean non ostentatious vehicle would also help.  

I have 3 vehicles, 2 of them are part of my growing hobby.

I have been studuying the different lessons if you will by all gurus like many have via internet, podcast, itunes, taking any learning vehicle that I could to be honest.
