Is this only school that teaches to be helicopter pilot, or there is a cheaper version of that?

Then if they are, you could potentially make the deal work by doing a charge back to the tenants for utilities.

Is it worth the extra investment to take the face to face courses or with just starting out, should I go the cheaper route? 

Donna Bauer has a great cours that is peanuts compared to what the expensive gurus charge and it will explain notes very well, as does Papersource University Online, good solid low cost education.Buying a performing note at the lowest price you can get it for is a good start on FCI, as they can service it for you and there is little work other than get paid back, unless they stop paying.

The cheaper unit has not had its rent raised in years and I think that is the unit I would target to move into.

The topic " how much is knowledge worth" is one I've had many people asking why i havent charged a fee for my knowledge.

As such you are charged for using the land, regardless of the improvements you make to it.

@Tye Foster If you don't personally know any of the more accessible markets (cheaper), I'd say shoot for somewhere you may have family or friends. 

In your CAMs charges, do you include the fee for a management company or manager?  

It's a cheaper neighborhood and it's turning more towards a rental neighborhood, but it's still in a good part of town and Frenship schools.
