@Chris V.Not to lecture here, but as you're building your empire, you should be accumulating a stable of "I got a guy's".  

Listen to BP Podcast or CPA lecture during shower/while getting ready (seriously a waterproof blue tooth speaker is the best $20 I've spent on amazon)5.

It always earns a stern lecture from me on the need to keep records, receipts, calendars and journals.  

I am a 12 year member of my local REIA (SJREIA) Tonight I I was the guest lecturer for 41 investors, discussing my plan to evaluate sale price, cash floe, and how to retire from a 21 year real estate plan with over $1,000,000 in the bank and  $64K-$73K interest and saving over $762,000 of interest expense in the process!

I've gone to workshops/seminars at work like this, where there was a general topic (like "Nutrition") and the lecturer started off by polling the room or subject matter, and then we voted on which of those topics were of highest interest, and then the lecturer just worked down the list.As for what kids should do when they turn 18, they should get a job if they don't already have one.

They are lecturers and make money by talking rather than flipping house.

I have been working on real estate investing for about a year now, and as many as I possibly could, have attended lectures, meet ups, seminars, and programs that seemed good or was recommended to me I respected people at my local REIA.

I remember in New York State back in the late '80s, they put us in a classroom and tried to talk to us about all matters concerning "Health," which really meant 9 months of lectures about smegma, checking your testicles for cancer, and wearing condoms when having casual sex.Would it have been so hard to put us all in a classroom for a day and, as Kiyosaki writes, explain that the rich buy assets, the middle-class fool themselves into buying liabilities they think are assets, and the poor spend all they have on necessities?
