That said, my main question is, can you recommend a good mortgage brokerage company that offers all the training points you outlined in your post?

Leverage and invest at 40x $100 000 properties ($20k down + $5k closing cost, 30 yeas fix rate loan) with a return of 10% where you have better asset protection (my keeping lower equity and higher bank position), you are hedge against inflation (agree with me, in 30 years $1 000 000 purchasing power will be less compare than $1 000 000 today) Here is how looks mathematically:1. 10% on $1 000 000 (10x $100 000) = $100 000 / annually - No interest tax deduction- No loan paydown benefit2. 10% on 1 000 000 (40x $100 000) = $400 000 / annually - debt service + full tax benefits+ loan pay down+ hedge against inflation for 30 years+ better asset protection (by maintaining lower equity  position)   + (not guaranteed of course) if appreciation happens, it happens on the all full asset amount, example:If appreciate 10%:In case "1" you will have 10% on $1 000 000 = $1 100 000In case "2" you will have 10% on all 40x properties (40x $100 000 = 4 000 000) = $1 400 000As far as cash flow, as long you buy "right" CAP 8% and higher you will have stronger cash flow on leveraged asset + all additional benefits.

Did you attend educational courses to enhance your real estate knowledge?

Of course I am partial to KC.

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.

Of course the tenant eviction process took awhile and out of spite the tenant intentionally left the lights on.

Kudos to you for jumping on the train with perfect timing before it sped up again.

Of course there is upside to this as I can charge more rent but the property being vacant for two months also is it going to cost me around $1200 in mortgage payments as well.Another unit of mine unexpectedly went vacant beginning of the New Year.

When I first started, they said I would get results if I just followed their instructions and got indoctrinated in the principles of mindset.They told me, that people actually don't learn from books, courses, sermons or watching videos, but by having a "relationship" with a coach or mentor.   

Of course when doing the 1031 exchange your basis will carry forward into your replacement property.Where you have a potential issue is establishing your intent to hold those properties but immediately selling one or more them as soon as you have them ready.
