Skip the class and go straight to learning on the job.

If the SEC came sniffing around and your main job was raising money and all you do is attend a weekly meeting, good luck to you! 

My main goal is it be able to retire at age 40 from my main job and work entirely on my real estate portfolio.

It might be helpful to narrow down your options by focusing and researching for markets with strong rental demand, growing job markets, and property prices that fit within your budget.

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

My sacrifice… no haircuts and no fast food. 1 job full time, 1 full time side hustle. 0 debt at the time other than student loans.

The onboarding was extensive, and I don’t think they do a great job of explaining that most of what they need is related to the banking side of things and actually nothing to do with setting up the software.

I have offered to help before, to which I got reply that best thing you can do is let us do our job.

Good job 4's are the way to go! 

That is the issue I am having now as my wife and I have great paying jobs and just cleared all our debt.
