I suspect these some of these folks have taken a motel course from some SMARTIE, who brain washed them into thinking they are real estate investors, OR SHOULD I SAY WHOLESALER.There is more to being a successful investor than taking a motel course from a SMARTIE.There are so many bad programs out there searching for your money, they want to teach you how to get rich. 

Next is when doing contracts, look for a contractor school, they go a couple of hundred and maybe a thousand, and don't really teach how to do it, but it covers all your basic anti-lawsuit needs specific to your state (kind of like a RE license course).

I would like to meet other investors and possibly be mentored by someone that has been in the industry for a while and is willing to teach me and guide me through this journey.

Better then that Josh teaches how to raise private money

IMO, price/sqft is a really dumb way consider RE, but I guess that's what some books from the gurus are teaching. 

We have hours of "corporate governance" videos on our website to teach you if you really want to learn.

It's just that it doesn't seem to be a standard in which the way deals are handled that I think makes that part of the industry a mess and making it hard to do business in this sector.Perhaps a lot of this nonsense is coming from "gurus" who are teaching underhanded ways to make money from real estate? 

You now have BP and a goal to get out of the rat race...it is easier with your wife and kids on board - work together towards a common goal, it will bring you together during the struggle and teach your children how to think like investors and enrich all of your lives....hope this helps,Ward 

We have started a mentorship program where we teach Agent how to find deals and flip them  and actually partner with you so you can make money while you're learning .
