I am not trying to reinvent the wheel.

Surely they did not reinvent the wheel and it seems a steep price to pay for a few contacts. 

No since in reinventing the wheel, so I would suggest going and checking them out...

The reason I was looking for a paid mentor is because I have no experience in Real Estate and I personally would rather get instructions from someone who is successful, why try and reinvent the wheel?

As you suspected, I have been spinning my wheels in my career gaining ground slowly and only recently have I made any significant gains in my “market value”.

All finishes in a rental should be durable yet easily repairable and replaceable.

The loan itself is about 1/2% higher than a normal fha loan.Over $35 k requires a consultant which adds another wheel to the cog, but probably good for most buyers.Both loans add a10% contingency factor on to the rehab budget. 

Why reinvent the wheel.

But as soon as you get into CRE (5+ units) they cannot handle all the wheels turning inside a commercial size multifamily syndication, as @Omar Khan pointed out.Some of us have listened and learned from @Michael Blank a thing or two or three.

You could even pull all of that and send it through Azure machine learning or something with the data massaged to look for good deals for you.Paul definitely got my wheels spinning, very good episode I will go back and watch again and continue finding good deals with data.
