What convinced you to be in the first camp?

I am in the preventive maintenance camp mostly because it lets you plan the impact to cash flow and take advantage of lulls in the schedules of service people or sales on equipment. 

They'll show deals, numbers and flashly language to get you enticed.The last 1/2 hour is spent as a sales pitch for their next 3 day boot camp.

I'm in the camp of waiting until you have 2 years of Real Estate income to quit, but if you're feeling burnt out, quit the day job.

I grew up in that business my dad was a west coast land man in the 60's  he would buy 100 to 500 lots a year at tax sales in CA.. then remarket them.. but a lot of what we did we actually ran the UTLS into them and created buildable lots.. the bigger parcels to sold to folks that wanted to camp or as you state drag a Mobility home on to them for a weekend getaway

I highly recommend his boot camp to anyone from beginner on. 

Hi I am trying to find a good REI Group in the Dallas area I'm finding a lot of coaching programs and boot camps but that's not what I'm liooking for any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I know several successful investors who started by going to a 3 day event usually called a boot camp or something like that.

I dont think its a bad idea to attend boot camps or trainings offered by national speakers as you usually get some materials and several days of training and the average cost I have seen them go for is from $999 - $3,000 on average. 

@Anthony Barber I would avoid the San Antonio REIA's and the ones where you have to pay to go or buy a "membership" they are always trying to sell some boot camp or mentor-ship program.
