I think you already know the answer to your question, @Benjamin Z. . As much as people, esp your parents will give you advises, sensible ones, in the end...you're the only one who knows what's best for you.

If you think that's really your dream, then honestly I don't think you need college to get it. But you'll need to still learn a lot and work really hard.

We are very blessed to have been existing in this particular period in human history, The Information Age. Knowledge has never been this easy to access. Today, you just go to Google and type practically anything and you'll get your answers. What I'm saying is, most of the things we used to pay for can now be accessed faster, for free.

This recent post http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/517/topics/98680-great-guest-post-on-justaskbenwhy-blog-by-doug-dowell has a link to an article that talks about coursera.org. Check it out.

Thanks for sharing, @Nick G. I think I might try that myself. I really like Googlevoice and my VA's have been using it, together with Skype.

Welcome to BP, @Chance Dean ! Glad you came upon this community. Don't worry about it. Everyone here was once there too... at no experience so don't worry too much about it.

I'm originally from Philly but I'm based in Richmond, VA now. :)

Ask him outright. If he's not the owner or doesn't have any right in selling the property, ask him who you should be talking to. Just do it nicely.

Nothing spectacular but had some good points, especially about Outsourcing or more so, Offshoring. That's very helpful to entrepreneurs and small-business owners.
