What I also like about your post is that it shows that you can do it on your own, while it also admits that going through the course would have saved you time and probably would have made you more money.I find it funny when people on BP make it seem like you're just wasting your money if you buy a course rather than watch hundreds of Youtube videos and read hundreds of posts -- although everyone should because you never know what little nugget you'll dig up.You nailed it when you said that what your paying for when you buy a course is TIME.Sure, there's a lot of amazing free content out there for just about any topic one can think of.

Attend a couple of meetups and speak with a few investors face to face, I think that'll give you a jump start on a fresh perspective and may also help you nail down what direction to focus on. 

@stevenmay nailed it. 

Sure the shingles run a bit over $100 a sq , but you need felt paper , drip edge , flashing , coil nails , misc supplies , delivery , disposal costs , labor , insurance , sales commissions , overhead , whats left is profit , and it it runs around 20% . 

If they can't, you could test yourself by driving a long thin nail through the drywall that covers the firewall and see if it hits "something really hard" about 1-1/2" in.

@Arn Cenedella you nailed it!
