🙄🙄🙄If you are going to offer to work for free tell the person specifically what your skills are and what kinds of things you could do for them that would be benefical to them.

Find a niche that suits your knowledge, skills, and abilities, plan out/test your investment thesis, and work your plan. 

I have heard that you need separate bank accounts for each child, but banks are unwilling to open them up as they don't have separate EINs so it's a catch 22. 

My wife and I work full time, and have often discussed how to best leverage our skill sets and love of buildings into an investment vehicle.

If you have good skills you can get a job in multiple areas if you're willing to grind hard enough.

creative marketing and then used people skills to make the deal...that easy How did you finance this deal?

The syllabus you published has the allure of "no money down" deals running though it:  "How to Structure No Money Down Transactions", 'Myths and truths about no money down purchases", etc.Allow me to pass along one truth about "No money down" deals:  they are rare (particularly in Canada) and you will need experience to successfully sell yourself as capable in such a transaction.IMHO, such mentoring/coaching for cash offers are generally over-priced and will provide you with nothing you cannot learn on your own with a little hard work: reading, asking questions in forums such as B, and offering your skills or services to a local seasoned investor (find by word of mouth) in exchange for being able to observe and, eventually, participate in a deal.

I am humble enough to know that I MAY lack the necessary communication skills.

The fact that you have the advantage of having that knowledge and knowing how to do the logistics for the permits is a very valuable skill in this business, I'd like to see how everything goes for you brother and really wish you all the best!
