I would certainly start getting recommendations for attorney's/accountants now and taking them to lunch to explain your business plan and see if you can collaborate well with them -- this way you will be ready when the time comes. 

I'm amazed by the amount of collaboration and feedback I've seen already...can't wait to share my own knowledge and experiences as I gain them.

I love collaborating and am happy to love to hear of and share my success and failing forward moments. 

Based on your profile, maybe you are in the wholesaling area, but I can only assume what you are good at and how we can collaborate. :) Good luck in finding and networking!

When trying to collaborate to find solutions on short term rentals, he again fails to present any decent ideas.

Send me a note, maybe we could collaborate.

We collaborate over beers, share knowledge, and network with those on a similar path, while expanding our knowledge base together. 

I've been thinking a lot about the collaborative tenant that helps the landlord make more money via ancillary income.

My husband and I are investors in the area (I'm a Realtor and he does property management and we flip houses) so if we can help you get started in any way, just let us know.We love meeting local investors and collaborating on deals.What kind of investing do you plan on doing to start?

A good instructor can address these side questions, relate experiences and actually teach to give a clearer understanding of the material.2. opportunity to meet 20/40 others in the same boat starting out, develop friendships with your peers, they will soon be out on the streets and while there is a bit of competition, there is just as much collaborative efforts among Realtors.
