There is no notification when he posts new content to the course, but I don't think access to the materials--video lectures in bite-size nuggets--expires.  

Without a true conversation (back and forth), its not worth the time to sit here and re-type a "lecture." 

Ok, I'll try and make this as clear as I can, with as few words as possible:I do not like getting lectured about screening by people who subvert the screening process.

I heard it for the first time earlier this week at a local REIA meeting where an atty was lecturing on business law.  

I grew up and lived in Cleveland my entire life, and I sell real estate all over Cuyahoga County... but I would not consider giving the kind of advise you are seeking, except in areas that I really know well... as in I have lived there... walked the neighborhoods... have friends there... know the shopkeepers... etc.Albert, this is a good reason to use a real estate agent who has bought or sold a dozen homes within blocks of where you are "hunting"I get a lot of out of state investors... and also many out of state investors who ask me to do property management for them... then they go on to lecture me on how great the neighborhood is where they bought their ghetto property.Lots of investors come here because homes are so inexpensive, but they do not realize that the tenants who will live in these areas live with credit scores in the lower 500s, and whose track record seems to indicate that paying bills is optional.$1500 is probably high for Colony... and a 4 BR / 2BR will draw large families.

One of the most inspirational and educational videos I have ever seen is Randy Pausch's "Last Lecture" available here:Pausch's Last LectureIt is well worth investing an hour watching it if you haven't ever seen it.

Just wondering, was there a specific book/lecture, real estate or not, that gave you a sense of direction in the field of real estate you became passionate and pursued?

I'm not arguing against the core skills or reading, writing, and math, but the extra 1000 hours a year sitting in a classroom listening to a teacher lecture, and even more hours at home doing homework during childhood.

I guest lecture at several different universities around the country, and have been asked to be an adjunct professor at two AACSB top 50 programs.

I would rather network and meet folks than sit in lectures all day.
