i am also a realtor with Keller Williams, also just PT - but i love KW and the culture.

for me, it was common sense stuff ;-)  his formula: look for properties with a problem, buy at a discount b/c of the problem, fix the problem, sell for more. he covered the following topics in the boot camp:1) how apartments will make you wealthy ... overview and mindset stuff2) how to find deals (he brought in a guru to up-sell profit grabber)3) the quick and easy way to evaluate properties (i think he now sells a subscription for an analyzer tool)4) how to determine where and when to buy5) the buying process (0 money down ... up-sells another syndication bootcamp)6) negotiation7) how to write offers 8) how to protect what you have - buying properties in the right entities9) property management overview (he up-sells another 3 day managing the manager bootcamp)10) overview on 1031 exchanges11) tips on how to increase your sales price (i.e., increasing NOI)12) ends with an up-sell to his coaching, which i think starts at 5k, + a monthly fee.  

Training, money (split), Atmosphere /culture,  micromanagement?

I have several wealthy friends who would work with me but I do not know how to structure a deal properly.  

But we live in a culture where people believe that the easiest way to heard a living or make extra money is to sue someone. 

Owning property has always been for those people who have already "arrived", they're already wealthy and successful, so they just start buying up other stuff.

The idea of creating wealth is exciting and motivating me to educate myself in REI.

I know a woman who is quite wealthy who is suing her ex several years after their divorce for child support.

I can guarantee you that I don't expect anyone to do my job & if I could access the home without them, it would be done but clearly they are independently wealthy and don't have a desire to earn their commission.

I am sure he has enough collateral in the bank as he is known to be a very wealthy businessman, not to mention thrifty.
