we do have a program for the DIYer.  

I used to do company training for Hilton, and the HR Director let a lady bring her toddler to Orientation, and boy oh boy, he was all over the place and making noise, I had to ask her to leave.  

It's through the HomePath / Home Buying program thru Fannie Mae.

Just google their website and check out the training/events.

I'm a physicist by training and am particularly excited to see rigorous analysis before proceeding.

I am currently almost two years into an investing education program with Rich Dad Education.  

I'm a newbie trying to train on analyzing deals and I've been using 50 percent, is that far too conservative?

Over the last 6 months we have taken several investor “training classes” to get off the ground and we've had several contracts for wholesale, but no deals.

If you are already familiar with the process of buying and selling houses you won't have to work for a large broker that provides training.

So without really seeing a flyer of what you are trying to do and the numbers involved I would not know which program or lender might be best for your situation.Some lender stay in major metro's, others go further out.
