Can be a book, workshop, virtual training. 

They only had to do it, and all the mistakes...and the cost of those mistakes, would fly away...and they would be left with the same expertise they could have gotten (but had to pay for) from formal training and/or a mentor.Wait, they had to pay for it (in other ways) doing self taught anyway...and they only ended up knowing what they know...and not knowing what they didn't know...that would have come from the formal training.Oh well.

Takes time to train someone and they have no idea if you will stay and if you will do it right or wrong.

and then he tried to sell me a $1000 training package type thing, which immediately put me off my tea, so to speak.  

Lot of money flowing over there, and might be able to ride the appreciation train!

South End - particularly in the areas neighboring the Lower Roxbury neighborhood border has a lot of value and train access.

@Sarah SchneiderThat’s exactly my train of thought Sarah.

I pick and choose my deals.1) Find a Great domain name2) Head over to Investor Carrot and get the middle package3) Go through their SEO training which serves as a great little starter on SEO.4) Make your website credible first and foremost.5) When you have a decent credibility score, work in all you learn on SEO6) While you constantly improve your website, start learning about PPC/DMM7) Send out your first campaigns.8) You get your first paycheck9) Dump 90% of said paycheck into your business, by increasing your marketing budget10) Repeat process while ALWAYS working on SEO11) Withing 3 to 4 months (if you get to be as good as SEO as I am) you WILL rank #112) Leads magically start pouring in faster than you can open them in your inbox13) (Optional) Quit paying a cent on Marketing, and enjoy actually investing!

Hi I have been to free property training seminars and ended  up buying the 3 day course and they hard sell to there more expensive course that's 35k which I think is ridiculous.

Like training wheels when learning to ride a bicycle or testing things in a sandbox before releasing it to the public.There is a balance required.
