Don't have any experience with the RDPD classes, but my buddy paid a lot for personal mentors from the program.

My buddy sells 170 cars per month because he takes all of the guess work out of it!

I have been buying property thru realtors for the last 8 yrs.Starting to get frustrated with when you see a property has just been listed and you put an offer on the property and the realtor the listing is thru tells you they have an accepted offer on the property.Im not crazy nor stupid,the listing agents call their buddy investor to tell them days before the property hits the market to take a look at it and make an offer before it hits the market.I know it is illegal,but you can't prove it.Wish I had the jump on the property like most investors.

No....I had a LOI in on a several hundred unit complex there about a year ago with one of my developer buddies, but the deal fell apart.

@John Chapman me and a buddy of mine were just talking about this ...

I've got a few buddies stationed at moody, I'm curious if you know them!

I had some buddies at work look at stuff in Franklinton and they thought it was too expensive and that was over a year ago.

I have a couple buddies who invest in the area and do ok, they cater more to the student and hospital population.

If there was an "easy" button, your buddy wouldn't be unemployed and broke.
