I mean I had great teachers and coaches in my life before but no comparison with Nate.. his teachings were unbelievably mesmerizing. 

I am drawn to these sorts of low-cost buildings and neighborhoods because I just don't have a ton of capitol or resources to get running - also, I have a lot of student debt (not quite 6 figures, but I'm pushing it). 

These teachers, are selling a product, not really teaching.These people are also playing on your desperation, they do not care if you're broke, lost a job, have a sick mother or if you're eating or not.

I have lived in Gainesville for over 10 years and have been a student and renter in several parts of town.

There are also niches that can cash flow in high valued areas sometimes (vacation rentals, short term room rentals to college students, senior housing, sober living or other type of transitional housing, etc.) 

Well, I took on a mentee/student who lives close by, the only way I'd consider it.Not an accountant or finance type, no prior RE experience but had been good at stock analysis that got noticed by a couple potential investors.I think we have met 3 times, I sent him off with a RE text book with some phone calls and PMs, learning assignments.
