How about the 3 day lab or the coaching they offer?

Also, Kiyosaki was using it as a tool to drive people towards his coaching programs so of course he made the real estate deals appear like the only ways to get out of the rat race, when stocks aren't bad investments themselves.

Another thing to consider is sales coaching or training.  

I have a ton to learn.I enjoy competitive BBQ cooking and coaching baseball as hobbies.I am interested in wholesaling, rehabbing and investing in rental properties, mainly single-family homes and smaller multi-family buildings (2-4 units).My short-term goal is to wholesale a few deals to get my feet wet and hopefully purchase my first rental property or rehab flip by the end of this year.

You will also learn the players in your area who may also be willing to coach/mentor you.

Ned used the occasion as an opportunity to do a coaching session for our local RE Meetup Group (BWI Meetup).Here's the video:https://www.dropbox.com/s/vkwa56y3fvhah3v/jscott_t...On top of that, we have at least one BP member who will be helping us with the trash out and may have another BP member who will be helping us wholesale it once it's cleaned out.

Have also considered at some point, having our family purchase a property that we use as a second home, with a rental unit (garden apartment, coach house, etc,) to defray cost of the property.

Mentors, coaching, etc.; Just looking for some good insight and opportunities to get my feet wet. 

The property was completely renovated this year, so there shouldn't be any significant maintenance costs, but insurance and taxes are quite high because this is a 3 unit plus additional coach house with garage on first floor and unit on top floor.

I do need coaching in this new business and would love to talk to anyone that can help.
