I am a big proponent of self GCing new construction investments, as long as it is done correctly.

My son (age 24) however, is an independant contractor / self employed and is trying to buy a house. 

On a different journey I completed AJ Osbornes self storage program and thought it was very useful.

Many online courses are self-paced, so working on it in your spare time is absolutely doable.If a career shift isn’t your goal, you can still learn the "game" through various other means.

I agree that the best way to make money is self manage your short term rental (not AirBNB, that is a platform).

While sophistication of your equity partners (private money lenders) will vary between residential and commercial, the principle of raising private capital is the same.You need to develop your own system which allows a constant stream of PML even when you don't need the funds and/or don't have an active deal under contract.For example; I raise private capital by offering free educational workshops for people with self-directed IRAs.
