It should be broken out by trades, and can be done further by labor and material of each trade (this is not even 100% the case always), but beyond that there won't be a ton of detail.I worked on the management end of a GC, and our bids weren't that detailed.

REI can and should be part of that - you can and will lose money; but you also can and will make money, just as you will on stocks, bonds, ETFs, precious metals, bitcoin, INSERT INVESTMENT VEHICLE HERE.

If after you did a deal, we may have an argument to deduct it.Education that qualifies you for a new trade or business is non-deductible.

From speaking with another (actual) investor, I learned that this group operated heavily in the Stockton and Sacramento area.Bottom line: if you come across someone who tells you that you have to pay to learn from them, I would suggest to continue looking - it is possible that you may learn something from the "education," but, in higher likelihood, you'd only end up deeper in debt, or worse, in a bad RE deal that they could not find anyone else to sell to.There are plenty of honest people still around, many are successful and some of those have blogs and podcasts that you can learn from for free (although, they still seem to have something to sell you, but it is a fair trade off.)

A seasoned broker or agent knows the market.If the market has listed properties trading at 98% of list price and goes under contract in 3 weeks or less time then a hotter market.

Before you get on me about reversion cap rates know that we used some fairly low rent growth projections AND this same product type just traded in mid 6's.
