Interesting, Darren, my definition is very close to yours, but I'd say there is another important element, the quality of the information given.To me, the derogatory use of the term is applied to those that add fluff, exaggerations, aspects that while may be technically correct but are highly improbable to replicate or simply put out bad advice with no consideration to ethical issues.I make that distinction because, some professor in some university teaching a real estate course or some instructor in a state approved real estate school for agents isn't a guru, they are teachers and instructors.The difference in being a non-guru teacher is two fold, 1. the materials taught are compliant with rules, regulations, laws, accepted in practice and are based in sound applications of the business; and 2. they are qualified by education and experience, by education that has some professional level that is determined by proof of their mastering a level of knowledge, testing and degrees earned or certifications by proper authorities in the industry or academia.

Many of us including myself talk about our strategies, styles, niches and business model on our website.

My question is whether he can teach me how to find that many deals per month at sheriff sales?

I purchased this house to flip and will be replacing the windows, should I use windows with the white grids or not? Also what would you think I could add to the front/yard to improve curb appeal?

Thanks

People are getting them like they are going out of style.

I'm here to read and write about things that interest me.The writing style and content of a post have the most weight in my decision about taking a post seriously.

We own 10 townhouse style units in northern MN with electric heat for approx 2 years.  

Now the real issue is learning the terms of the purchase contract and/or assignment agreement, that will require taking some real estate classes or finding a good mentor (I would advise staying away from "real estate coaches and/or mentors" as I haven't found one that is teaching it right).Nick

Agreed about starting with KW....she needs training, the licensing courses don’t teach you anything about the RE biz.  

We are both teachers making around $80k a year teaching in Chicago.
