You can also check their reviews online at Google, Facebook, or Yelp.

I ended up getting the online course and it was pretty disappointed. 

Have these guys ever heard of Quicken or any of the online personal finance programs available to track spending?

Gross income/rents * 11 rent multiplier = Total value.

Your debt to income will be calculated per conventional guidelines and if you qualify with both your current mortgage and the new mortgage plus all the rest of your debt you are good.

The passive way is searching online and connecting with others who can share their deals with you (wholesalers, other agents, investors, etc.).

Now I found one that specializes in real estate investors that was recommended by an online mentor.

If your income grows faster than inflation, you'll have the $162 needed to purchase the basket.

In my opinion, an in person meetup > an online connection.You may want to consider making a connection here and meeting up for coffee or attending a real estate networking event.Best of luck!
