Sounds like what you really need is an employee.

In every bootcamp, seminar, coaching program there's a nugget worth a million bucks BUT perspiration must be applied to reap said nugget.I started with one house hacked duplex and now own 2400 units + a vertically integrated real estate company of 80+ employees (which I started on my own in my spare bedroom).Not saying Smurock is good or bad per se.

Just like any business, its usually cheaper to keep an existing customer or employee, than to acquire new ones.
