I wouldn't say you're going to learn as much going through an online course as you would an in-person one, but it is a lot more convenient. 

I am in SoCal and Detroit has been in my mind but have zero knowledge about the market.

Just keep in mind, you get what you pay for.So where are these Mentors?

Obviously, using the online listing page at ALE solutions is different than a cold email, and I am referring to the latter.That brings up an obvious question: how do you develop those leads, then?

Would you mind sending your inspector's info to me as well?

@Mark Allen If you don't mind sending me a copy as well.

Also remember, you can NOT identify more than a certain number of POTENTIAL replacement properties, and they have to be within a certain percentage of value of the old property, and you can’t file this identifying paper and then change your mind.

If you can establish a solid network (even virtually at first), and maybe leverage your savings to buy a property with rehab in mind, the reward could be the path you're looking for to make those five-year goals a reality.Of course, the risks are there, but if you're comfortable and see the upside, it could be worth leaning into.If you need more insight into BRRRR execution or anything specific about market selection and building a remote team, feel free to ask.Hope that helps!

It's challenging to distinguish between genuine advice and potential scams in the vast sea of information available online.
