Personally I would love to partake in person to person lending if it was secured by real estate.

Which seems like a little or a lot more than what they will have in the properties after rehab.. so you all are partaking in the profits there on out(including holdfolio), and holdfolio is getting their money back.

Whether you partake in it or not, well, that's up to you.

Chances are as an investor, you aren't going to be an expert on every single type of investment, therefore, look for ways to learn about those investments that you may want to partake in but need additional knowledge first.

If it hits too close to home, we’ll maybe you need to look at why.I do not dislike, or have any bias against people who are new to real estate and dream of an investing career, or to people who partake in the wholesaling arena.

While I can't speak to the course, I can't imagine that anything he or his father would do is even slightly below par -- take that for what its worth.

So here's my question: Should I suck it up and finish my program (another 3k in loans, on top of the price of national and state boards to get my certificate & a year's worth of my time), or devote all of my time to investing in this business that I see myself partaking in for the long run?

If I had properties in C/D neighborhoods, which I am not that kind of investor, I would have PMCs manage those properties as it requires a different management process that I am not willing to partake in.At the end of the day the tenants are our customers. 

Would you recommend others to partake in them?

I personally partake in wholesaling outside of my normal job.
