Those chasing the last 5yrs experience are going to be rather sad at what the next 5yrs hold for them I think.

When I ask for clarification, I only get vague responses.I’d really like to hear if others have gone through similar experiences with AppFolio.

@Stephanie Menard, a few comments based on my own experience.1.

This is based on my experience, I used to be on the guru “circuit” years ago, and personally knew most of the gurus of the 1970 - 1980s. 4.

I recommend talking with an experienced broker who can help you shop multiple lenders  

@Andrew Rodriguez this could be a great learning experience!

Learn by experience and making mistakes.One issue is most people who buying coaching only buy one program or max 2, so it's pretty hard to rank them.If you are convinced this is what you want to do, I'd look at Lifestyles, Total Wealth Academy and Brad Sumrok's programs. 

You don't need to know everything to get started; you need a foundation to build on, and the rest will come through experience and then refining your education.You can build a basic understanding of investing in 3-6 months.

You want to find a balance of investing experience, but strong track record of multifamily sales (which you can see on their Zillow profile).
