Admittedly, I am not one that typically finds paid mentorship very valuable, but I also respect that my degree is in business with a focus on real estate, and my first job out of college was in real estate (so it is a little hard for me to take my 20 yrs of knowledge and rewind it to try to view mentors from a completely fresh lens).A couple points: I view mentors, especially these expensive ones as a catch-22. 

When a 21-year-old claims to make $600,000 in his first year of real estate, someone should verify that before sticking a mic in his face and praising his successes.Being on the podcast used to be a big deal.

We have a 14-page management contract that we've added our real experiences to over the years, with the intent of protecting both us AND the landlord.

Neither your idea nor turnkey real estate is bad. 

No real estate needed.  

Hey @Divine Nasikpo,If you have limited cash or assets, there are still ways to start earning in real estate:Wholesaling: While there are mixed opinions, wholesaling can be done with minimal money.

I have been investing in the stock market for 5 years and I am now transitioning over to real estate after doing my research on real estate for the past two years. 

(That last one might qualify for what you are trying to do, but you're going to run into some underwriting barriers if you simultaneously increase the rate and payment without a very strong reason--and accessing cash for real estate investment is probably not going to be what they want to see, depending on the lender).2.

This could significantly increase the sale price and net profit after selling.Pros of Selling: Immediate large cash flow that could be reinvested elsewhere (stocks, other real estate).
