I wholeheartedly agree there are a lot of (too many) "gurus" hocking seminars and workshops and taking advantage of inexperienced, aspiring investors so they can sell more seminars and workshops and swindle more people.

While this is a great and highly motivating goal, most people are either clueless or incorrect in their belief as to what is required to obtain this “lifestyle”.Understanding of the “how to” get there is further obscured by the misleading, and often patently false “pathways” sold by real estate educational MARKETING companies as workshops, upsold to association memberships, upsold to mentorships.

I am interested in utilizing space again for group meetings, workshops, and for clients who may still desire private space.  

all of the things your talking about are readily available to you with simple google searches etc.PS BP has work shops that cost some money I have not been but I suspect those would be well worth the money..

They host regular meetups, workshops, and networking events that attract investors across all levels, including those focusing on multi-family and commercial properties.

Possibly already permitted outbuildings that already have plumbing such as workshops, offices, etc might be able to be converted to an ADU at a cost that does not result in the cost being more than the value added.Building an ADU is a lot of work and can be a slow process.  

Our owner also hosts a quarterly workshop for investors. 

Networking events, seminars, and workshops help you connect with like-minded individuals and mentors.

I've obsessively been listening to every podcast episode I can, reading all the books, and signing up for any and every workshop and educational seminar.

While sophistication of your equity partners (private money lenders) will vary between residential and commercial, the principle of raising private capital is the same.You need to develop your own system which allows a constant stream of PML even when you don't need the funds and/or don't have an active deal under contract.For example; I raise private capital by offering free educational workshops for people with self-directed IRAs.
