Teaching and coaching is currently my passion, but I'm not 100% sure it is going to stay that way when family and things come.  

Gurus teach selling to investors,  real estate professionals don't teach it that way, so long as there is no end loan issues.

The salt is helpful.I teach Zumba classes at a little church and the parking lot can be like black ice.  

Interests include car repair, lifelong learning, home repair (just getting into this one), teaching, wakeboarding, Netflix, and sleep.After finding a great lodger to pay 2/3rds of my base mortgage, I decided to look into more real-estate.

This will teach about a completely different set of investing skills than my San Diego thought.The number of properties:  This isn't as important as the profitability of your entire portfolio.  12 places making $250/month each is similar to 3 places netting you $1000/month each.  

Again they also teach old techniques that are widely know, but not to beginners. they also teach some techniques that don't even work anymore, but beginners don't know that.  

It seems a lot of these guys are out to just take your money and not teach you things for a good foundation.

I don't want to brag but I am a really good agent the problem is I am new & I'm good at working with buyers which is pretty simple, I want to start building my business base on sellers and listings and I need a foundation in terms of a business plan, written goals, daily schedules, mentors to teach me how to prospect correctly, marketing strategies and much more that Century21 provides ( I have already met with them) it is without a question that If i join this company I will become the super agent I want to become.The only problem is that my dream in real estate aside from becoming a top producing agent was to become a luxury real estate agent, I mean I've watched every episode of million dollar listing and can see myself living that life, it honestly was the main reason i got into real estate & I almost teared up when she offered me the position in Luxe because this had always been my dream, I just never expected it to come only 2 months after I got my license ( I had 6 deals in escrow and closed 3 in 2 months). http://luxeestateslifestyles.com which is if not the best, one of the top luxury brokerages in Las Vegas who has sold over a billion in sales and have tons of million dollar listings.

Don't get me wrong, I am sorry it happened to you, however, your mistakes help teach newbies like myself.

Maybe they teach that, in their schools.
