It is self serving and imo worth it.

Mainly the "self sufficiency test". 

Fact is this is a path I am currently on, that is: Somewhat aggressive Options trading strategy to build enough capital so that I can self fund my first design/build project in the Usonian/ FLW style.So to that end, nice update on here... portfolio is up like 40% in 2 weeks and I am hoping to get some more gains in the next few weeks.

If that is a problem for you, you should just sell or self manage because you aren't going to find a similar level of service for a lower price.

Many online courses are self-paced, so working on it in your spare time is absolutely doable.If a career shift isn’t your goal, you can still learn the "game" through various other means.

After a couple years and a couple different programs I can confidently say skip them all except Vena Jones Cox's the Guru Manifesto. 

We are both self employed so retirement is something we have both started thinking about.

A lot of investors who succeed in EC know the tenant base very well and a lot of them self manage.

Would love to connect with other RE investors that can guide me/us and build confidence along the way.   

Are you self-managing?
