I have received a lot of excellent feedback from investors based our financial planning sessions, and I've had some investors reach their passive income goal much quicker than they initially anticipated after they became aware of all their options for investing in RE!  

-Great training - even though I am not licensed and officially committed, the broker has invited me to attend the classes and I have learned SO much already-Plethora of training courses available online-3 sessions per week with 150+ annual transaction agent to practice scripts, another thing I am already enrolled in-What seems to be a great office environment with a lot of knowledgeable people who are willing to help, and already have.

The "sales pitch" is a voluntary "after-session" and if you attend that part as I would recommend, you might be talking about 45-60 mins of "selling" out of the full three days.  

Craig, the Boston Home center is having an info session Monday May 7, 5 PM to 7 PM, East Boston Library.  

Great 3 day session, learned a TON; as a realtor going in to it (with an open mind) I didn't have to try to figure out what all the words the trainer was using, because I was already familiar with them.She (the trainer) covered tons of topics, from creative financing with everything from credit cards to private money, to the major lending institution type loans.

@Alexander Daus - I don't know Charlotte, but check out the Deal Maker Sessions.

I'd like to run this by you before I make any decisions.Based on these Reasons might be good to do a 1031 exchange1) wife is planning to retire sometime soon to be able to visit family that are out of state like Arianne Lemire(podcast), so we'd like to increase cashflow in the short term.2) heard the podcast session with Katy Fettke about idea of exchanging appreciated Cali properties with better cash flowing properties, make sense to me.3) I really like to move up to investing in 5 or more multifamily because we can force appreciate but I don't have much time, I'm currently expanding my digital marketing/AdWords management business, so I'm falling back to possibly acquiring turnkey properties.So I read online that it is possible to do a 1031 exchange from 1 property to multiple similar properties with the rules1) 3 property limit2) 200% value limit3) identified within 45 days4) a few more rules that I'll go over with my CPAObservations about my current situation:1.

In fact, in many negotiation training sessions, the first lesson taught is that sometimes, you simply can't negotiate. 

@Tommy Sessions You'll probably have to do some shopping around.

This past legislative session they relaxed the requirement somewhat, but the bottom line is that an appraiser needs to be involved.Also, they don't reassess every year.
