There are folks who will say you can, especially on an internet forum, but it comes with considerable risk and would be exceedingly complicated.

Great material!

The internet is loaded with sites that lure people to pay for documentation through them and strategies for getting pets into housing under false pretenses.

Our contract was very basic, simply statement of their labor rates and that they would hold a materials deposit, plus my addendum stating all the work that needed to be performed, but no phases.

It's 2017 and everything's accessible on the internet if you look hard enough.

No attack on retail from the internet when you have DESTINATION type tenants. 

Definitely some good material in the course even if you do not plan to be an agent, but like @Ryan Murdock said, there is also some stuff that's pretty dry and you most likely won't run into it working as an agent. 

Also where do you think I should look for opportunities, ideally foreclosures or anything relative, as far as websites or any other internet source.

I have read J Scott's "The Book on Flipping Houses" a couple times and will look on there for additional material.

That is the best and worst thing about the internet - everyone has a voice.
