You get ther, no "Guy" just the pitch people highly trained to get you excited, to pay for the 3 day weekend, at the 3 day weekend, the "Guy" pops in for a few minutes and then their sales people sell you all weekend on a massive, all inclusive, you are never going to use more than 10 percent package for tens of thousands of dollars on an auto draft on your credit card for 5 years.

The software should auto-populate without them IMO, unless there's a specific reason (low down payment, bruised credit, down payment is 100% gift) to require it. 

A duplex would be ideal.

@Brian Klik sounds like you are in an ideal position to get started in real estate.  

Peter, one roof idea is my ideal search in B+ area (North end or North Bpt).

Then again, when dealing with potential tenant-buyers who may be less ideal candidates, I suppose a stage house might not help distinguish between someone who is a good fit or not.

If he doesn't want to be a landlord and fix toilets, this is the ideal path.Start by just educating yourself.

I understand that my backyard may not be the ideal area to invest, but I am flexible if the numbers work out.

I need to start from brick one on the yellow brick road, there is just too much information that my brain goes into overload mode, a mentor would be ideal but I have visited some websites and there asking thousands of dollars which I wouldn't hesitate to pay but how does one know if there legit?

I am someone who does not have much income to currently buy a house to house hack and/or BRRRR, which is ideally what I’d be doing now.
