You can easily be distracted with online classes.

Bigger houses can appear daunting; nice staging can distract buyers if there are minor cosmetic flaws/space issues.  

How much of a distraction do you think it will be?

To clarify as it seems to be a distraction.

But, at least I have BP to set me straight when I get distracted.

If you aren't diving into real estate investing full time, it is also a good way to ease in, work with other investor and gain experience through them. the down side is: it's sales and commission work, no effort = no $$$. it's a lot of busy work (I work with foreclosure and short sales, and investors). it will distract from your own investing objective.

I don't participate in auctions unless I'm divesting assets as a seller or attending a trustee sale (foreclosure auction) in CA in order to protect a price or perfect title.I suggest you deal with the "Why Joseph doesn't attract the right kind of opportunities" part and forget about a deal that's becoming a distraction for you.

It took a long while....we had some bumps in the road, some distractions, some setbacks...but hopefully, we will be getting it done soon. 

Sometimes they even create a distraction and safety hazard.

I don't want to distract the thread.
