I don't have experience with or strong opinion of Fortune Builders or any of the guru programs but I can say that you will learn an incredible amount just by reading the BP forums, listening to the BP podcasts and as @Dave Vogt so wisely states...just doing it.

Has anyone here dealt with Scott yancy/property brothers realestate program called yancy events?

(our property was listed on several sites) The program also includes bookkeeping, etc.

There won't be a lot of how to invest (get that here on BP) but there will be a ton on what to do once you acquire one plus market, economic and political factors that effect apartments are covered.Rental Housing Association of Puget Sound http://www.rha-ps.comWashington Apartment Association http://waapt.org/Washington Multifamily Housing Association http://www.wmfha.org/Washington Landlord Association http://www.walandlord.com/Some are more focused on smaller properties, some on different parts of the state, some have better networking, some have more educational programs, some have great speakers at their events.

I'll say that to me when I hear the "member of ....XXX....available financing", my first thought is you signed up for an expensive guru program.

You've got access to some good loan programs through the military connections so I'd use those as much as possible.

Can someone clarify whether Home Path is the same thing as a FHA loan like the 203k or whether it's an entirely different program?

As we develop our Rent to Own program, it will serve as a way to streamline our processes.But, at the end of the day, I do not expect it to drive traffic to me. but I will drive traffic to it by becoming the Real Estate investment source of info among my sphere of influence.

With the right program, the real money to be made in real estate isn't made by long term ownership....it's buy, fix, rent...sell....and do it all over again.

That's what I would recommend if those are available in your market.Those owner occupant first programs are offered buy HUD, Fannie Mae, and some of the big banks too like Wells Fargo.If you have the funds for a large down payment and you want to do more investing, I would only put down as much as I have to, to avoid any kind of PMI, MIP or whatever else they are calling any kind of mortgage insurance.
