You can pay yourself back, but only for legitimate business expenses.

I spent an entire month preparing a legitimate business plan and tweaking it. 

Absolutely legitimate reason.

Not sure how legitimate it is though.

The thing Ryan is that he teaches mostly direct mail strategies on his site which defeats the purpose of virtual wholesaling which is if you want to get technical is investing via the net with nothing but a phone and a fax machine.Now direct mail is one of the best strategies when it comes to marketing but that's basic knowledge you can learn on forums like this not spending 800 bucks.I do agree with you spending that much money on courses in stuff is worth it as long as it has worth wild and legitimate info but I wouldn't pay one red cent on something like that if you can learn it free on here or free from another investor/mentor.

@Pamela Gordon  For vetting a business, see how long they have been around, BBB reports, online reviews, are they legitimate, etcLease can be in personal or business name. 

They are so scared of requiring borrowers get "Legitimately" pre-approved in advance, by submitting ALL their income and asset docs. 

VERY restrictive and I don't see any legitimate purpose in the bill.

No legitimate title company in Texas would provide title insurance under present conditions.  

Legit sellers use this feature too; some people are legitimately worried that if they list an Xbox/TV/car/whatever for sale, and use their real email address, that a bad guy will Google the email address, figure out where they live, and go there to steal the item.One other thing I've heard of, just from people looking to rent an apartment in my local area: there is a species of Craigslist rental ads that has generic-sounding apartment ads (no address or pictures) for attractive rents.
