but unless Ed and Jon are just "really slick" salesmen, I don't know WHY they would go out of their way to say they aren't "gurus," and only charge "one time opt- in" fees vs. the near CONSTANT "upgrades" (although I do see something very similar to Legrand's approach, on an older website that's still up, with Silver, gold, platinum, etc. type of "mentorship programs) and HOW exactly are they (otherwise) making "residual money" if NOT by helping others "do deals" and then taking 50% of the IGP???

I need to know what things to look for in a property that can lead to a gold mine and what warning signs I should watch out for.I look forward to joining the community and meeting all of you here on Bigger Pockets.

I completed a real estate course at Gold Coast School of Real Estate in the Sales Associate class.

There are requiremements, timetables, payment structures and other things to be done( I'm don't do 203k work so I'm not too familiar with the process) but with a little work any licensed, insured GC that can finance the job till the payments roll in can do the work.Of course if you find someone that does 203 work that might be easiest...but keep in mind if you have a personal contact with a contractor that is willing to learn the process that could be another route.I know about this because there is a website that touts 203k certified contractors and they charge you to tell you what you could learn for free from Govt websites....that and a gold star insignia for your website or biz cards if I remember correctly

Good business relationships are worth their weight in Gold!
