PS this is why rental houses are very hot right now.most that go to trainings by the time the Hype wears off.. they realize hey we cant do this.. but we can buy a rental house.. that's what most want ... they want cash flow.the idea of making millions flipping .. when you have no capital to work with or skills or in some markets is just not reality. and NO 3 to 7 day course is going to teach you how to do that.. and the call in lines for support are frankly a bunch of kids sitting in call centers in Utah reading off of a script they are the same kids that come knocking on your door in pairs with their jackets and ties and riding their bikes.. they learn rejection early in life and then go to work back in the home state.

That being said, is a reasonable strategy to pair it with years where you sell a few rental properties with large amounts of capital gains?
