You saved some money initially by not going offshore immediately, but eventually you get the same pro and con of offshore.

But recently he started a new program a "pre-protege" training program where he focuses on wholesaling commercial property as a way to raise cash on eventual full on purchasing of commercial properties.

If you have a money partner, private lender or hard money lender, you need an Escape Plan for their money (eventually) but it doesn't prevent you from buying another rental because you can get another money partner, private lender or hard money lender. 

If you are going to be doing fix and flips it will save you money eventually.

I hope that I can learn and eventually contribute to this process of buying and selling real estate.

Also if i am able to do that, what if eventually the tenant wants to exercise their option to buy, will they pay me in full and then i pay the person i leased from??

I'm not sure that property managers are in my future but I would love to get out of the hot seat eventually.

And eventually this can help fix your credit report too since you are paying mortgage and tax on time.

I will keep my heads up and find an investor, someone will eventually invest in me.

Learning will eventually give you more confidence.
