It can happen, but it is, literally, equivalent to sitting down at a blackjack table and winning hand after hand.

I took a realtor course through Century 21 a few years ago for fun (i was making good money as a blackjack dealer) So I am starting at a point where I know the basics.

I am basically guaranteed my rent while school is in session. and once I build up a cushion for summer break or vacancy, I can then use the extra cashflow to pursue more investments, possibly a duplex or another single family home.

@terrell I will keep you posted for the next game and networking session.

If I can find someone to record the session, would it be possible to host it online on Bigger Pockets so it's accessible afterwards?  

I'm not going to bash Than Merrill, but I will say that I attended his 3 day Fortune Builder's session and signed up for Mastery. 

From 6:00-6:45 there will be a Q&A session primarily geared to newbies, then the discussion mentioned above and after that there will be networking.

We are usually able to fill these rooms for at least one of the university's shortened summer sessions, but this year are going to set aside 1-2  rooms for an AirBnB experiment.    

With my partner, Jimmy, we just started a Meeup called OKC Real Estate Deal Maker Sessions.  

The only thing is I recently started a coaching session with Tax Lien University online  now i wished i would have waited and not jumped the gun so quickly should have weighed all my options first.
