This is about are you going to get motivated seller leads reliably, consistently, and predictably.

More leads, more deals.  

Some of the areas include: general RE knowledge, cold calling, lead generation, acquisition manager, transaction coordinator, etc.Would anyone be interested in taking a peek at the courses as well? 

Tell your parents you want to learn the value of money and a good way to do that is to get a job.College/university (they aren't the same) can be valuable if you go for the right reasons-go to learn something you want that will lead to a job afterwards...and yes tuition at some places is insane. 

To do it safely its a niche and one needs to be aware of all the things that can trap you and cause you a negative experience..

Aggressively buying multiple properties can lead to faster cash flow but limits flexibility.

However, it would be cash flow negative if I were able to assume the mortgage or buy it with 20% down at the market price. 

Retail and data center REITs lead, with Realty Income and Digital Realty Trust among top fundraisers.While REITs raised significant capital, property acquisitions have slowed, with more sales than purchases recorded.

And this, in my opinion, is where mentorship programs get some negative reviews.

@Rachel Seymour-Newton  there are definitely other sources for leads, which is why I mentioned hitting up a REIA and networking.
