Is experience the best teacher?  

As a full time teacher at this point, I don't have time to make cold calls - it's hard enough for me to deal with the calls off my letters during the day (i do try to answer as many as possible and not let them go directly to VM).  

I want hardworking solid people that are financially capable of paying rent and are completely content to continue doing so......medical/nursing, public workers, teachers, etc.     

Pace clearly loves what he does and is one of the better teachers and authorities on real estate.

I would love to do it well enough that the students become the teacher and I'm able to invest in their endeavors!

@Jake Stuttgen we will still be working as teachers for the next couple of years until this business can grow to the point where it can support us.

I am a science teacher from Houston, TX who decided to get into real estate investing after reading Rich Dad Poor Dad.

Curt Smith I love Georgia because it's one of the most creative places on the East CoastIn my library loop round of Georgia is one of the best teachers on creative financingI love how he uses land trusts, LLCs and suchMaybe all the wholesaling people can move to Georgia and not need a license :)

", then it isn't something I would be in favor of.If it is as I mentioned, an incentive for the mentor to continue to act more like a partner than just a teacher, then it's well worth it. 

But if you told me you wanted to become a teacher, I wouldn't call you scum just because *some* teachers are child molesters.
