I went to one of these a few years back.the only benefit of it is if you are real green in the game it'll help get some ideas and excitement going.the $199 three day seminar (or what ever the going rate is now) I would say is worth it for that reason and you may meet some local contacts.

Get the property under contract, while deciding what your personal end game is at this very moment. 

Im tired of standing on the sidelines of the investor game.  

We recently started playing board games again as adults and found there is a whole world of European (or Euro) style board games that are a lot more fun and sophisticated without being too complex.  

At the end of the day, the name of the game is get it done, period!

The competition in Austin for deals is fierce, and I'm ready to join the game.  

So as long as i show ive got skin in the game im hoping to liquidate the houses an buy a 50+ apt complex that will fullfill a passive income of x dollars a month.There are so many things i dont know and eager to learn about. im hoping my internship will answer a lot of them but i know i also have you guys to back me up so please tell me my plan is wish wash and give me more facts so i can overcome them and find the way to financial freedom thank you BP :)

I am all for betting on appreciation though, just make sure you play a good defense game and never, ever be forced to sell. 

Buy & Hold is a get rich slow game.

@Jose Diaz Good luck, sir.That is not an easy transaction to close on.I can not think of anyone who would by the home while it still has that much debt attached to it.Maybe an investor who wants in the game but no other way?
