Sounds like this is what you're doing, but I encourage you to let go of the negative, do what you can do now to make things right, and use your new found wisdom to make the next investment a great one!

Just from a business aspect, I would encourage the part time agent to pick up some listings (easier said than done of course) that would really boost GCI.I would look into REIT's or crowdfunding sources if they have money.If they just want to get some experience, contact a local investor, set up showings and ask them a ton of questions.

So I dug deeper and came across BiggerPockets which has turned out to best encouragement to get started on my dream.
