I've seen other investor programs that teach people how to find and develop these teams in other cities. 

Certain lending institutions offer programs that can increase that incentive as well.

Feel free to check it out.The 1k program will get you a pretty good overview.  

It is good for a well rounded diet to get a healthy dose at least twice a week in my opinion:) I'll check out the book, but in the mean time, do you have anything else helpful to add?
