And then it takes six months on the job full time in order to un-learn all the factually incorrect garbage fun trivia you had to memorize to pass the test.

You must unlearn what you have learned.

Unlearn how you think about debt. 

He really helped me unlearn and break through a lot of the inaccurate or just flat out incorrect ways of thinking about money and material things that are common with lower income families (again, like my family's past). 

By doing so it filters through your own prejudice (both good and bad).I would take more applications run background checks on all and pick the best tenant on paper from both a financial and credibility standpoint.And please if race plays a part in who you rent to find it in yourself to unlearn whatever prejudice you have learned.

I need someone to basically take me by the hand, smack it a couple of times to unlearn what I learned, and explain to me how I can do a 100% no out of pocket cash purchase.Here is my business plan in a Nutshell:Start the biz, find a good RE Agent who has dealt or dealings with RE Investors, Find General Contrators to help with Rehabs, Find Closing Attorneys who have/had dealings with RE Investors, Find Distress Properties that are in need (Fix and Flips), Find Private Lenders who deal/dealt with RE Investors, Fix Properties, Sell Properties...Then once the money is basically getting steady source of income consider Buy and Hold for Passive Income and build the business from there, if I do Buy and Hold then find PM's who have experience with RE Investors as well as Long Term Experience with Property Management.My problem is finding a good Private Lender in the Lakewood/Tacoma Washington area, and of course my credit isn't that good, can work around that.

From those I reworked a lot of how I set up my own finances and emergency funds based on TOTAL MONEY MAKEOVER, but I also wanted to see what would happen when you throw out all the rules and ideas you've drilled into your mind over the years, and in a sense unlearn everything you've learned if only to find out what would happen if you colored outside the lines.

You could do worse than bringing them  "rich dad poor dad" for this particular situation and ask what lessons they have learned and may need to unlearn from you. 

I'm an advisor by training and profession, but humbled by how much I've learned (and unlearned) from this community in just a few weeks.

When you give yourself permission to explore, you unlearn imposing boundaries on yourself.
