I have secured a true rock star speaker for the event. 

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome, I have seen a few webinars and the information from Brandon and speakers has been fantastic.

Speakers for 2016 include Robert Kiyosaki, Tom Hopkins, and Edward Griffin. 

You will hear different speakers (leave your wallet at home).

Here our talented and experienced speakers as they enlighten our members on Hot real estate topics.

Seems like a lot of them are full of hillbillies on heroin.Read the Standard Speaker, and the Scranton/Wilkes Barre papers to get a feel for where the busts are going on.

your correct there are about 12 companies that support all manner of this type of business most located in Utah... this is the way the business has always run  from the days of Carlton sheets dave del dotto  and all sorts of other motivational type speakers and presenters in many different fields. 

If still a few years, I would suggest you buy something in the outskirts of Bloomington [near campus is too expensive for the most part] - even though I have seen some REO 4 unit properties near the stadium that would be great to house hack.Otherwise, look for HUD and other REO homes around the edge of town or even Elletsville.If you commute from Columbus, then pick up a low cost REO there and go through the process - you will learn tons.Also, Brad Grayson is a speaker/trainer and successful landlord [over 200 SFH] from Columbus as well - I would suggest you seek him out and go to an event that he is speaking at.At 19, I would start ASAP.  

I have found that the advice and experience of the guest speakers is huge.

Wish it said who the speakers were.
