Like your thinking, and I always mention Poughkeepsie as the fictional place in all my real estate hypothetical example (why do people do that?)...

It's not rocket science, all you need is highschool math and english, be able to listen, read and follow instructions......and motivation.

It's not rocket science by any means.

I know there's a BP meeting tommorrow at Pub Fiction. 2303 Smith St. 6:30 pm 1-28-2016

Work through your learning and problem solving TOGETHER, in a methodical manner:what's the problem to be solved (and each should not be compounded with extra conditions).list all possible solutions you can find (without discarding any due to bias, personal business ideas or obvious negative effects).then find and list all pro+con issues related to that solution you can.SAVE your work in a binder for quick access later and to visibly demonstrate just how far you both have come.There's no rocket science in REI, but limited exposure to business concepts, contracts, accounting, marketing can ALL be overcome and your partnership will grow as a result.

It's an art and a science

It will have a big impact on your cash flow and profits.Real estate investing has a lot of variables to consider with every investment, but it really isn't rocket science.
