The overall theme of this thread is whether one should spend any money at all on a mentor.90% or more of these deals go through brokers one way or another.. if the 20k is to learn how to buy off market and you are not using a broker well then yes its cheap.. but there is no mystery to this..

Not sure where you're going with this unless this is a reference back to your mysterious pool boy that is going to sink a Fortune 500 company.I keep bringing up S&P500 because most 401Ks will offer something that tracks this.  

My question to these folks pushing this liberal agenda ----- You are ok that your neighbor has criminal background (drugs, attempted murder, attempted rape)??????

There were 3 murders within 6 blocks of my house in the last 1.5 years I lived there, and I was in a nice area (Mar Vista).

Only 1 murder reported in 2017.

So you're telling me there are more oscar winners that have been murdered than lottery winners?
