And end of year actuals never pencil out like the spreadsheet...I'm not saying that it's a bad idea; I would just urge you to proceed with extreme caution.

I’m almost 21 and still in school but I’m interested in real estate because I’ve heard of what it’s been able to do for people. Since I’m still in school I don’t have much money, I’m trying to learn as much as I can a...

Resist the urge to oversell yourself and your experience.

The teacher was an actual financial educator but they repeated themselves a lot and were telling the students to go in and apply for credit cards DURING the course to purchase the next course for $15,000!

Many of them are posers - I smile and nod, knowing that their posing will make an impression on many who dream of quick wealth, and that their incredibly transparent bullsh** will eventually blow up in their face, leading to no lasting wealth and potentially major problems for themselves and everyone associated with them.Many of these students receive referral fees if they are able to sign up other people to the expensive ($5K+) coaching programs, masterminds, mentorships, or tribes.

i have looked into the Landlord locks as mentioned but have not used them. i have one student rental where i use an electronic lock ( that i can control from anywhere, change codes etc.), but the bedrooms are regular keys, as @Jonathan C. mentioned for the front door, the unit is set up to send me an email when the batteries are low. i also have another student rental ( 8 rooms, 2 entry, 2 units + utility room) one master key and each bedroom has its own key that will get students in the entry, there unit, and there own bedroom. had a locksmith do that one. cost me a few hundred dollars with keying and supplying the locks ( 13 total ). i like both setups but may look into the landlord locks again for my 3rd student rental i just purchased.

Looking for current or past students to chime in....Thank you!
