I can confidently say that these "master classes" and courses claiming to grant you instant success are mostly deceptive.

I'd look at doing an FHA 203k or a homestyle renovation loan to add some instant equity on your next purchase!

Instant equity gains after the build is complete, easy to manage, high demands. 

We got burned on sober living due to state under regulation switching to over regulation.

During my journey to obtaining my degree in real estate financing, I have found that single family homes cause a great financial burned if the tenant decides not to pay their rent.

You are better off making a small investment on your own, maybe a two-family, and use it as a proof of concept.If you don't know anything, trying to source deals off-market will just be taking money and burning it on postcards without the correct systems behind and the incentive for people to call.

Real estate investing is tough, and if you’re following those flashy Instagram gurus, it’s easy to get burned.

You're literally forcing instant gratification when you're at the 20 yard line.

It’s just after being burned several times you find it harder to take that risk.In this case, it seems that this guy only asked to be added to the lease after the landlord served a notice because they were caught.
