I’ve been self-managing a single-family rental (SFR) for a while now, and I’m interested in taking my property management skills to the next level.

I know that a ton of people will win with the approach you are contemplating taking - in taking a HELOC out for the down payment on an investment property. 

I have no idea on how any of that works, but if he is serious about getting into RE and if that's what he wants to do....then do it. 1500/month is about minimum wage, I don't see that much risk in taking the leap into wholesaling if that is what he stands to "lose" 

I recommend connecting and consulting with an account representative at PadSplit to get their intake and see if they can provide any data on room rental rates/demand.

I'm a pretty good sized guy but there's no shame in taking the "no hands" approach :)

Steve - We would be interested in taking a closer look at this. 

If you're new to new build construction (or construction in general), I would get a local Architect onboard to be your eyes and ears in taking on the project and helping to assemble your team.

Your program sounds spot on, I like the "graduating" to less restrictive properties, but initial intake into the most tightly controlled home.The NIMBY factor is certainly an obstacle, but can be overcome with persistence (of legal action to enforce one's property rights, assuming one is in a correctly zoned area).something that could be added is work outreach program, as the ability to find work after recovery is obviously critical.

Some of the areas include: general RE knowledge, cold calling, lead generation, acquisition manager, transaction coordinator, etc.Would anyone be interested in taking a peek at the courses as well? 

Given a real alternative, yes, I have upmost faith all too many would love to join the group in taking a hatchet to Uncle Sam's knees.
