There is no cost or obligation, just a group of people networking, usually with a presentation from one participant on one of their properties.I occasionally post those meetups to BP, but if you DM me your email address, I can put you on their distribution list.

There are 6 million unemployed Americans (that participate in the labor force) and 12 million current job openings.

I just met a local BP group participant who is on his third year I think with Homevestors, and has already done over 300 deals and owns 150 doors.

The main issue with models like those are that they are only good for 12-18 months before they have to get re-done with new data due to the fact that we live in a complex adaptive society and all the participants can make different decisions based on what changes in their environment. 

If they want it painted they are going to participate in the cost and 2 years there going to be in the 80% range.

But people inherently are greedy and they want some free lunch.. then they get buyers remorse and blame everyone else ... there is a certain amount of that going on as well.I have also attended Armando's mega 4 day event in LA.. there is a lot of real information imparted on the participants.. and very detailed info.. is it worth 40k maybe to some but maybe not to others.. 

@Zeona McIntyre both partners cannot claim a nonpassive loss on 1 STR under the material participation rules (absent a REPS designation of course).

As to the highest and best price, that only applies if you are representing you client, having a license doesn't mean you must pay the highest price for any property you buy, your license doesn't take away your rights to participate in the market, but only to do so fairly, ethically and by giving notice of your expertise.

With breaking it you damage the inefficient participants and provide more stable and cash rich participants to buy these assets and business discount.
