Also I have heard from other RE investors that the degree does not offer much practical knowledge for an investor.

They certainly felt he was knowledgeable and passed the "smell" test.I'm sick of going to real estate investment club meetings where gurus who look like contractors are charging newbies for know how about real estate.

Excuse my lack of knowledge, maybe you can start some good discussions here.

I have since gained invaluable knowledge of the construction industry working as a General Contractor.

Yes investors are great CLIENTS, but lousy CUSTOMERS-refering to my states agency discussion.

The transit agency is www.rtd-denver.com and you can find maps of where the lines are going.

I think you will find a great group of knowledgable people are here.You used to do coaching?

There are many great and knowledgable people on these boards, that you will be able to learn much from.
