., I think @Luke Carl hit the nail on the head.

I would definitely second Matt's book suggestion: "Short Term Rental, Long Term Wealth" by Avery Carl.

Sure there are your Donald Sterlings and Donald Trump billionaires out there.

Quote from @Luke Carl: Problem for me is you can't finance them.It's not a real house, can't get a real loan, It's not for me. 

@Lucas Carl, thanks!

When you spend money on a real estate course, you won't automatically become instantly wealthy or live the life a millionaire or billionaire.  

That's why you hardly hear about any (barring a few major exceptions) real estate billionaires out of the Midwest but RE billionaires out of primary markets are a dime a dozen.I would personally invest in markets where there is a higher chance of capital appreciation (West and East Coast, bigger cities) vs. income (secondary and tertiary markets).
