That 40k class would not teach you to put nail to the drywall.In my actual job i am so very busy writing code for DATA CENTER like Amazon or Google data center, so I do NOT have time nor knowledge to put a nail in the drywall, but i have TRUSTED friend that can put the nail in the drywall.There are just so many RESOURCES here in BIGGERPOCKETS where one do not need to go to any school but can learn from them or they can redirect to the right people.As for me , my life in real estate context has DRAMATICALLY IMPROVED when I CONVERTED my business relationship into much PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP to the contractor.In flipping business, the contractor, the subcon , is like the Prophet, okay, they have to be listened and being served.

I am not aware of anyone who solves problems in a lasting way without a cash-flow positive business.Competitors and other solutions will have to monetize, eventually, in one of the following ways:- Make money raising capital themselves, and therefore be another GP (Fund of Funds)- Make money raising capital for sponsors - Make money serving LPs by charging LPsThe free components of PassivePockets will be supported by advertising dollars from sponsors.

I wanted to open and operate my own to serve the need in my community to help bridge those gaps between families.

I currently serve as a property manager in Nashville.

So, they didn't realize they essentially purchased land that is completely worthless beyond just serving as a green space. 

I would flip the script and argue under those circumstances the client is serving as the bank for the contractor and not the way you presented it.

Two wage earners are going to have an easier time making rent than a family where there is only one paycheck, depending on how high such paychecks are, and in both cases you would look at the total household income.Stick to your guns on what you said you wanted, but when you are not in the heat of the situation reevaluate your standards to make sure they are still serving you well. 

Currently, I own a single-family home that serves as my primary residence.

I serve on the board of our local REIA (Central Florida Realty Investors, CFRI) and this would be a great place for you to network with other local investors.

I'm not sure they would serve a purpose for me then, but for working class people who do more often have financial stresses it is an incentive for sure and also it compensates you for the lateness.
