I am happy to deactivate that account for you should you wish to no longer use it.2) We certainly do not permit advertising for anything educational in most of our forums and from this post it seems that you are not-so-subtly promoting educational materials and/or content that you would like BiggerPockets users to go check out.  

I think I got my money's out of it, but then, they try to sell you on buying their education for $20,000.  

Become educated – read, listen to podcasts.

My goal right now is to educate myself with the help of books and hopefully mentors.

You would need appraisal and/or inspection to make educated offer, 15K sounds too high with tax lien, the next thing you know there is 1K water bill, or some other problem :), these type of houses I would make low-ball offers.

For my education, can you please elaborate what happened?

I am spending a lot of time educating myself on REI but i think it is a time to take action!!!

So the education piece is well underway.I announced before that I was going to enroll in the Pre Sales Real Estate license class.

You will also have continuing education you must complete every year or two depending on the state.  

You can also browse all of the links under the "Education" tab at the top of the page to the right of the Bigger Pockets logo.
