Im lucky to work in an interactive office environment for a private company, where I have the ear of some successful operators.Everyone learns differently, but without the working experience I now have (and continue to compile, every day), my path to operator would surely be a bit longer. 

A mentor that charges is a coach, not a mentor.100% of what you need to know you likely can ask here & going to those interactive meetings.

Normally the Trustee is empowered to sell without beneficiary interaction, but occasionally the beneficiary could be involved. 

Last thing you want to do is set it up wrong and have to go through probate anywaysNot saying those other sites are not good, but I always have questions that I want to speak to a human with and that is why I am ok with paying more for that interaction

That can be through interaction here on BiggerPockets, or it could be a local investors group.Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of your screen and you can search for other MEMBERS or LOCAL MEETUPS.

I say this to say that whatever the socio-economic make-up of the neighborhood, an investor must feel comfortable interacting with the residents of that neighborhood. 

So I have interacted with literally hundreds of students who have paid the 20 to 50k for the courses.And the whole reason I was at these events was that at the end of the training many realized crap this is a lot of work looking for that one unicorn deal I think I will just buy a rental and call it a day.

Remote can be...Marketing, Lease Signing, Lockouts (install coded smart doors), background checks & screening, Virtual Tours, Payments (online or ACH debits)Live In Person (local team)...Showing units, Posting Notices, Evictions, Dealing with Complaints (some need live interaction), Maintenance Calls, Property Condition Tours, Meeting Utility Companies, Meeting Contractors, verifying Contractors work, Live personal touch with residents (can improve tenant relations depending on property), Cleaning, Turns, Police CallsThrough the years, I've learned that there are places to save money and places to invest. 

But they also take a "buyer/renter beware" stance and their view, based on my interactions with building department and section 8 inspectors is: as long as the house does not have cracking or chipped paint, the chances of it effecting people is basically non-existent.  

I'm looking forward to learning from and interacting with people on the forum boards!
