They don't do the bootcamp sales model and their instructors are teaching you what systems they've set up in their real estate businesses (I like to call it practical-tactical info).

Unlike me, I can't drive a nail straight and in retrospect that might be a good thing.I think/know that my time can be better spent in doing more productive/beneficial things that will enhance my business, so, I pay to get things done when it's warranted.Granted, there is a cost to doing business and I have baked that into my business model. 

ONe of my most successful colleagues who wholesales and has built a great business spent much more than the 40k 4 day wonders  but he credits his whole business to this intense one on one mentor who basically created his whole business model for him and his wife.. they are now in 3 states..  

So the model works if the plan is to buy as much property as possible with a given availability of cash in the shortest amount of time.

Looking at these, I figure the build out from white box would be between $35-40 psf on average.http://www.rsmeans.com/models/supermarket/http://newmarketadvisors.com/assets/Uploads/Constr...http://www.chainstoreage.com/article/annual-store-...

Regarding note buying, I'll admit that I don't know a lot about that business model, but I'll definitely look into it as a possibility.

As you may have read elsewhere, it is generally considered better to get a CPA that knows, understands and has experience with your particular business model than it is to get one in your location (or the location of your properties).  

We don't want to hurt the rentability of the house.Thanks,TristanIn the units where we are using the newest model Cadet electric wall fan heaters, there is at least one ideal spot in each room to place a heater.

That is my business plan(model)

Last year I was like you and switched my business model back to retail real estate.
