Along with I have read their study materials that I have perused through on my flights home and again nothing stands out at me as being nefarious..Just like the generalizations on BP not everything they talk about or in their study material will work in every market.

I agreed and started the remodel process within an hour (It was already July so I only hade one month to remodel the unit and fill 3 units before college classes would start).Cost of remodeling was a little more than previous because we had to do new drywall (put 5/8 and sound barrior material inbetween the apartments) and blow out a wall (to make the kitchen and livingroom more open because kitchen was in a seperate room)Well a week into the remodeling process (9-14 day process depending on the schedule) I had 2 friends looking for a place in the area that each had a roommate.

Don't focus so much on cost focus on current material.

@Kortez WalkerBP has a ton of material to learn from.  

Hi Chris,Welcome to BP, this is a great website and resource for all types of real estate investing.I suggest you do a lot of research here, do not spend a lot of money listening to coaches, it would be much better to put that money to work and learn from experience specially with all the material you have in this site.Additionally, there are many real estate clubs out there, visit them, select your favorites and meet other investors working your area.

Here are a few quick tips to get up and running:1) Read a lot of materials here on BP.

I am always a little hesitant to buy RE material but this is the best material I own yet.
