Indeed, instead it is a lifelong learning session about Finance, Economics, Property & Zoning Laws and the Building Industries all in one nutshell.

It's like having a brainstorming session where everyone brings their own insights and ideas to the table.

Pretty informative for someone just getting into this...https://kimandbagwell.com/pitfalls-for-the-inexperienced-geo...And on another thread (https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/61/topics/1152882-tax-d...) there was an interesting point made by @Sam Bagwell (I wonder if the above is his firm -- likely)... if you engage an attorney to handle the debarment and the property is redeemed, you can end up upside down even with the 20%.

As such, those engaged in these practices are required to have a valid real estate broker license.

Very helpful and engaging. 

Instead, I recommend you engage a local financial advisor who will help you with your whole life situation.

Never heard of them before....but your typical real estate "mentoring" guru will invite you to a free 2-3 hour session, and convince you to come to all day on Saturday or 3 day weekend course for $299-$399, when you are at that course, they'll convince you to be a Big Dog player for full on mentoring at $15,000-$50,000.   

I’m looking forward to engaging with this community and learning from your experiences. 

Be sure to dig around, read, learn, ask questions, and engage with others. 

Looking forward to engaging and growing together!
