Does anyone have any experience with coarses that they felt were worth the investment?

@Joseph Firmin Thanks for replying. My initial plans are to start with acquiring SFR. I am also looking at MFR options as well up to 4 units.


I plan to start with rental properties I can manage myself and keep them within a couple of hours from my personal residence here in Utah.

My short term goal is to acquire my first property as soon as possible and three within a year.  My five year goal is to continue on that path and reach 12-15 properties.

I have a friend who is also my real estate agent and is helping in ways as a mentor. He introduced me to BP and BRRRR.

My education goals are to become a “sophisticated investor”. I am sure you can tell by some of my chosen phrases that I have invested time into Robert Kiyosaki’s books. I have gotten through Rich Dad Poor Dad, Cashflow Quadrant, Increase Your Financial IQ and I am about 1/3 of the way through Rich Dads Guide to Investing.  I have seen educational plans from the Rich Dad group including the Real Estate Cashflow Blueprint which I have considered.  I figured it has a 30 day money back guarantee if I dive in and find it is not what I was looking for I have that option.

Does this provide enough information about my goals and considered approach?  I welcome yours and anyone’s feedback/direction that feel they can help!

Hello all, I am newer to BP and I am starting to spend more time here as I progress towards acquiring my first real estate investment property.

Well I did have a rental property that once was my personal residence I HAD to rent out after the 2008 collapse to keep afloat. I sold the property a few years back as it was older and becoming hard to manage from afar after 10 years of experience. Also I was in debt and in no way ready to be in the REI game like I am now.

Fast forward to today, I am debt free, proficient in budgeting, have a HELOC locked and loaded as well as I have recently came to truly understand how to "pay myself first" which is quickly building capitol for future asset acquisition. I am fortunate to have a job that I love, that pays well enough for me to support my family + lifestyle all while being flexible enough for me to not be shackled to my position.

I have a disciplined and structured mindset that I would like to use to focus on becoming financially educated and on to a sophisticated investor.

I am looking for direction on how to obtain this.  I am willing to invest in myself and a structured curriculum should one exist/come recommended?  That is my problem. There is lot of vague advise like read BP articles and listen to podcast which are all great! However I would thrive in an environment that gave me more of a structure step by step education. I am the type that would set aside the needed time to jump head first/fully committed to the process. 

Any suggestions out there?
