I do a Friday session with my group and it's my favorite conferences of the year.

Google it in your area.They also have a monthly Deal Maker Session meeting where about 75 investors get together to buy and sell exclusive (non-MLS) properties every month.

This young guy(me) in his twenties gave up his weekend plus $200 for the session.

The same investor could then go straight to the casino with his $50k and risk it all in the poker room, blackjack table, or roulette.

I will be joining this boot camp on the next session.

I’m actually doing a BP Live session tomorrow (Monday 6/18) at 4:00pm ET to explore 7 different paths to invest in commercial real estate.  

I have done many listening sessions on YouTube with a gentleman who owns over 4,000 apartments and I have learned very much from him about apartment housing and believe his preaching that is negative about household rental units is fairly good and believable. .I agree about the unoccupied units in SFH's is much more negative when a vacancy happens versus one unit in an apartment complex. 

Like dice, black-jack, or baccrarat.  

This is nothing more than a venting session on my part and an opportunity for you all to share your frustrating experiences as well!  

@Dan Bryant ...you might want to join the Triangle REIA (TREIA), and attend our Triangle Deal Maker Sessions (not affiliated with TREIA) which meets once a month.
