Many students believed that he's a faker, he's not really that wealthy, otherwise why would he be teaching.

The host didnt ask even one qn which is "real" - the "guru" says its easy to make money but he wants his students to "earn" . if all it takes is cold calling , why wont the "guru" hire a 20 person cold calling team pay them $20/hr ( I have super start cold callers working for me for $8/hr) .

Currently rents for $1200/$300 a room to college students.

Debt is from a mortgage on our primary residence and student loans.I'm now in a situation to either reduce debt or increase my regular income (via paying cash for rentals/purchasing notes/something like that) to a point where my dti would be more attractive to lenders.

I had a small amount of student loans (i.e., less than $10K), which I paid off within 3 years after graduating college and purchased a car (less than $28K), which I paid off within 4 years.

The best deals are in the worst areas and the students will not want to live there either.

I'm in Purchasing by 9-5 profession, so the analytical side of the business has come fairly naturally to me and I've been assessing MLS deals daily for the last month or so.

But you and I may have differing goals and resources as far as investing goes...I wanted turnkey and it was ok if it hardly cashflowed...we are investing for tax purposes and make money on that end...but think about who you want to be your tenant...do you want students?

Does everyone think this is a legit mentor seeking a student?

Not knowing the full scope of your credit history or student loan debt, I would recommend first talking to a few Lenders to see what you could qualify for.
