I understand the concept completely, but what I'm more curious about is what real investors are actually paying these individuals?

I wouldn't say there is no value in these types of classes but what they teach can easily be learned for free on this (and other) site.

This is more of a generic question than anything — it can vary from individual to individual.

You bring the investor some pocket listings, and in return, the investor partners with you, helps teach you the ropes, etc.Coincidentally, I live in your area, and am always looking for deals... :-)

No one can teach you desire.

These discounts can range from 10-30% depending on the individual sub (in our experience).

I came across this site and it looked like a great place to find like minded individuals.

When I find something askew, it's an opportunity to teach the tenant the right way to take care of the property.BTW, there are a number of other threads on this topic that you may want to read.

If a couple were to invest together, their ownership was over the 20-25%, so they decided that they would come in individually, coming in below the ownership limit.

Probably very similar to what Jerry suggests as a post nuptial agreement.We have individual and joint assets, sometimes invest funds individually, sometimes jointly.
