I’ve been studying REI for about 3 yrs, PMed a successful rehab, and am about to do a development deal with the help of a mentor I met recently, so I know at least a little about REI, but still pretty green. 24 yrs old My question is, should I start the 300 online school hours and gain knowledge that way, or keep taking notes and watching YouTube?

Personally, I would do what you do best.

If you were trying to give personal advice or constructive critisim about something that is off topic than a private message would have been more... to use your word professional.

One group may be ok doubling up in beds and the others may be seeking a bed or even a bedroom per person joining.

My fees are on the low end because I only manage on Okaloosa Island so I can personally go to each property and carry very little overhead.

Personally speaking, my long term rentals don't have any cameras that I installed. 

Here's the background on it and what I'm considering, please let me know what you think.I’m a W-2 person using a local property manager, I love my job so I need someone else to do the work.

Hey @Juan Acevedo First off i do not confuse fact with opinion, If you have a good system and are good at your craft you can definatly make money in los angeles flipping and or wholesaling, never be afraid of competition you should embrace that and create a system to be part of that competition thats what makes this all so fun, not everyone can do it, me personally i love the La market as soon as i get a house completed i have multiple offers in the first couple weeks and i can care less about the competition, i focus on my structure that works for me, If you can make it in La you will find many other areas easy, I'm not far from you if you like you can come visit one of my flips and gain a little experience, i have a couple SFR's i purchased in the La area I'm almost complete with the rehab, good luck to you.

You will be better off going to a real estate networking event where you can meet multiple people instead of 1 person via coffee.You can meet someone at a networking event and ask them for coffee / lunch at a later time if you click or want to learn more from the person.i would suggest Meetup.com, eventbrite or biggerpockets to find networking events.

I am little late for this thread but....I have personal experience in every aspects of mobile and tinies.
