Many times this could also mean that you are working in remote markets and never meeting personally with any buyers or sellers.The marketing can be both offline and online.I have not seen Duncan Wierman's course so I cannot comment on its content but I will make a comment about courses in general.Most of them will tend to bury you in so many techniques so that you can feel good knowing that you are getting a lot of "bulk".

One last point, undoubtedly technology and experience will lower fracking costs, but there are a lot of costs which will not be affected by improved technology or a concentration on winning techniques. 

There are techniques like exchanges that can allow you to defer paying these taxes forever.

Normally, they would say "what do you mean by that", which is a perfect opener for the various techniques I use (Subject, To, Wrap, Lease Option, etc) and that it didn't require fixing up the house or house "showings".

This is not a spot for these folks, I did not buy their course, but the concepts they presented and techniques they claimed to use would drag the deadbeats into court on an annual basis and would really be a thorn in the deadbeat's side, provided it works.

When I first read the post I assumed the folks were living their unlawfully- squatters.

then you use your owner financing technique to solve their problem.

If you have any experience with this industry or the 'advanced' payment techniques?

If someone says it is an "assignment" contract, they have to disclose their fee.Let's just think about that for a second.If he is getting paid by the seller directly, fine, no problem.If he wants to double close, fine, no problem.If he says assignment, then what is the fee to buy the cotract, if I move forward.There is no other way to cut it unless there is a new technique I don't know about.If I negotiate on the entire price, it will affect his fee regardless, unless he is earning a percentage from the seller.Let me pose this to everyone who has responded which I find odd.

There's a special technique he had to use.
