I will be looking into the opportunity with a partner who has several years of experience in RE and good amount of client network.

But it also sounds like an opportunity if its legit. 

I'll be happy to answer any questions and to give you my perspective of the opportunities in the area the way I see them.

I have the opportunity to quit my job and partner up doing wholesaling full time, we are actually starting to get some deals done now.  

I've paid for it and figure while I know some of it will be a sales pitch surely I'll pick up on some good knowledge and information over 3 days and hey it's another opportunity to network. 

I feel like there are tons of real estate investment opportunities around be but I have to clue how to take advantage of them.

Seems to be a lot of opportunity there  - good luck! 

The correct line of thinking is "What opportunities in my network and experience can my IRA tap into and get better results than what it is invested in today?" 

It's not earning it's keep where it is and is losing you thousands on lost opportunity every month. 

I'd be up at night worried about water leaking from a faucet, all those pipes just waiting to break, that old window that is about to start leaking, or pests getting in, or mold, or appliances breaking, or tenants causing damage, losing their job or getting divorced or dying, or a tree falling on the house or sewage backing up into the house or any number of unexpected and expensive things that happen at the least opportune times.
