While I enjoy the top golf, I am trying to build something similar but different, but it's more focused on practicing range.

I've done extensive research and familiarized myself with the basics, I believe there's no substitute for real-world experience and practical advice. 

You can use your college degree as work history and your most recent paystub as qualifying income.

I love college students because they are not nearly as picky as most families. 

I strongly recommend using PrepAgent and the practice exams on it.

Also, i would add that The cost of these programs imo i dnt see the big deal only to the effect that in the world how many people drop that kind of money some gurus ask for on college to be a server, working in retail or flipping burgers, stuff you dnt need a 4 year degree for.

However, I would like to gain some practical experience in the world of Notes as well.

I'm sure it depends on a variety of things like your local area, the lender you choose, and the practices of each individual appraiser you may encounter.

@Michael JudgeI was an entrepreneur before and after college.

I would stick to my normal business practices as opposed to accepting bribes to house unqualified applicants.
