Quote from @Peter Gulati: If you are near Houston, TWA is going to have a teen session this month for 4hrs. 

Got spooked and just didn't see the light at the end of the tunnel.While I don't meet your criteria for owning anything today, I'm actively looking for opportunities again in Scottsdale, AZ and I'm interested in joining the Zoom mastermind sessions.

So...I keep watching youtube or hearing of "experts" and I get excited and look into them more and then find out its a free ebook, then a "training session" where someone tries to sell you something...that takes me back to these forums to read reviews and here I am...I know I want and need a coach. 

Indeed, instead it is a lifelong learning session about Finance, Economics, Property & Zoning Laws and the Building Industries all in one nutshell.

It's like having a brainstorming session where everyone brings their own insights and ideas to the table.

Never heard of them before....but your typical real estate "mentoring" guru will invite you to a free 2-3 hour session, and convince you to come to all day on Saturday or 3 day weekend course for $299-$399, when you are at that course, they'll convince you to be a Big Dog player for full on mentoring at $15,000-$50,000.   

I have a lot of people come to me after having gone through one of these "enlightenment" sessions/ training and all I have to say to them is "good luck" and here is a number of somebody who will sell you down the river in the guise of helping you!   

In Charlotte, the local HUD office offers free training and they openly share "the formula".I went to my first training session there back in 2000and "the formula" is still the same 16 years later.Here, tho one caveat has been... an owner-occupied bid beats an investor bid, which always seemed to be a noble call to me.

It is scheduled for First Wednesday of every month at 6.30pm and usually has a speaker sessions and 1.5+ hours for networking.https://www.meetup.com/chicago-suburban-real-estate-group/

Nothing changed and nothing got better.WealthAbility inaccurately claims to thoughtfully pair their clients with an elite, well-trained CPA, and tax strategy team - but we were not given a team, just a poorly vetted arrogant CPA who was late to almost every session and who never took notes on our financial situation making us feel as if we were meeting him for the first time every time.
