He never picks the student that just wants to earn $x / month in passive cash-flow.  

It might be a situation where you are digging a manageable hole that you can work and earn your way out of, but be honest with yourself.

Sometimes I wonder if people just feel better about themselves to spend all those nights and weekends on real estate when, realistically speaking, they would have earned just as good a return (or pretty close to it) by investing in a stock market index fund and had way more free time in life  I realize my premise here is antithetical to the whole notion of BiggerPockets so of course bigger pockets hates me writing this, as do all real estate agents and property managers, but it’s the truth and everyone needs to think about it

If you’re looking to make real estate your new job and to earn cash now to use and live on like a job, then go for cash flow.

So you might be living in the US or in Europe, investment properties are bought to outsource and earn from the cashflow.

Many newcomers spend their first few years working under a sponsoring broker, and during that period, the broker often earns a significant portion of the revenue.

After a bit more research, I actually think renting a place will get me started faster and earn some experience doing Airbnb with a little less risk involved.Obviously I still need to be concerned about not violating a lease agreement by doing so and I would likely live on the property and lot or all the time.Ownership is still the ultimate goal, but this looks a faster party to self driven income.

They may change, but do you want to risk your hard earned money to give them chance.

That's too much effort required to earn a few dollars on a short-term stay.
