This should lead you in the right direction Jonathan. Pretty simple. You only pay for minutes used.
Good Luck.

Let me give you a simple direction to start. I love helping my students, but several years ago, I realized I could not do it one on one. Not enough hours in the day.
So in addition to managing 200+ SFH in Northern CA and doing live seminars (30 years), I began writing books (260,000 published and sold).
My latest, THE REAL ESTATE FISHERMAN (2016) is my most focused and a fun way to look at investing.
Go to fixerjay.com and check out the book.
Good luck.

PS. I do not have an expensive mentor program.

THE REAL ESTATE FISHERMAN Published 2016. Available in bookstores and Amazon.
I have been investing in real estate for 50 years and teaching it to my students for 30 years.
At my high point I had 260+ single rentals in Northern Calif. I did not buy them one at a time---takes too much time. I bought them in groups. This is what I teach. The down payment on a group of 5 or 6 small houses on a single parcel is about the same as you would pay on a single home in the suburbs.
I have done many flips but realized years ago that is just like having a job. You pay the highest tax on ordinary income and you pay social security tax on the profits also. You don't get the tremendous tax benefits and cash flow that you would get from long term rentals....year after year.
My 5th and most recent published book (2016), THE REAL ESTATE FISHERMAN is my most focused book on the above subject. In it, I go into detail on one of my properties, Cherry Street....6 small houses that were hugely profitable for 26 years and continued to be profitable may years after selling (I carried the financing).
See more about my new book at fixerjay.com.
I hope you enjoy it. I have gotten tremendous good feedback on it so far.
Good Luck

With 50 years of real estate investing, 30 years doing live training seminars, and having published 5 books and sold over 260,000 copies, I have invested in all kinds of real estate.
Flipping (including wholesaling) are not my favorites. I have done many of them, but I REALIZED THESE WERE LIKE HAVING A JOB. Any profits are taxed at the highest rate of ordinary income and you pay social security taxes on the profits. You really do not get any of the tremendous tax benefits other kinds of wealth creating real estate provide. This includes monthly cash flow FOR MANY, MANY YEARS.
Let me offer you a way, way more simple approach to investing that will not cost $10-30,000 (that is crazy, really).
1. Check me out on google - fixer jay decima.
2. Go to fixerjay.com and see my latest book, THE REAL ESTATE FISHERMAN (2016). If it looks interesting, give it a try. I will bet you a cup of coffee that you will read it to the very last page. It is a fun, but detailed way to look at real estate investing, including inChapter 2, REELIN' IN THE BIG ONE, ....."Cherry Street. Real Fixer Jay property. 6 detached houses on single parcel - what I call a COLONY".
Good luck.

Let me offer you a much more lucrative direction. Go to my web site, fixerjay.com and click on my new book, THE REAL ESTATE FISHERMAN (2016).
I have sold a lot of books over the years (260,000) and this one is my most focused one......and, may I say, a fun way to look at "my kind" of investing.
Good Luck

As with anyone, I would thoroughly check them out if you are going to be taking serious advice from him or her.
I tell people meeting me for the first time to google me find out everything you can about me and my type of investing.
Good luck gang.
PS. I am totally against spending $10-40,000 for "training".
