Some of the areas include: general RE knowledge, cold calling, lead generation, acquisition manager, transaction coordinator, etc.Would anyone be interested in taking a peek at the courses as well? 

As a newbie, it is easy, and common, to head down multiple paths chasing shiny bright objects, with many of those paths just leading to time wasting and increased experience in learning what you don't want to do.

@Dave GreenHere are the three options for generating passive income and scaling up a property portfolio: selling rentals and buying a multifamily property, paying off your primary residence, or holding rentals and maintaining cash flow.

Maybe start finding deals to wholesale, which will sharpen your deal evaluation skills and generate cash for future investments.If you find really good eals, you could even require that you participate or get a piece of the deal.

There are good value deals in your market if you search hard and long enough, it sounds like your lead source could be revamped in my opinion.

The reports you can create with Stessa, such as an Income Statement, Balance Sheet, etc, are similar to the kinds of reports accountants are used to working with since other finance/rental software also generate very similar types of reports.  

The second piece is whether or not you pass the Material Participation Tests found in IRC 469 and the third piece is whether your participation rises to the level of Substantial Services (think hotel, B&B).4) My CPA Says I can't deduct a loss that was generated! 

Flippers will have to price in these added expenses to maintain their margins, leading to lower offers on distressed properties.

We currently have one rental property that is fully paid off, generating $2,150 per month in income, with expenses around $1,000.

U do not acknowledge your in business to sell these properties you lead people to believe you own them all. ( and again I have no clue how many you may or many not own).3.
