That person will teach you the mistakes that lead to failure. 

Just like any skill in life, learning how to manage your family's finances takes time and effort and they don't teach personal finance in school (which is beyond comprehension but that is a conversation for another post).My recommendation would be as follows:1 - Figure out your monthly burn rate (how much you spend)2 - Set aside liquid reserves equal to 6-12 months of your burn rate (more if you are self-employed, commission-based, have unstable work)3 - Contribute to 401k at least equal to the employer match4 - Research Roth IRAs and, if qualified, this may solve both investing excess funds and saving for children's education as Roth distributions can be penalty and tax free for qualified education expenses (and other qualified distributions)5 - Regarding what to invest the Roth, 401k, or a regular brokerage account in, you can learn how to come up with a diversified handful of low cost index funds (or ETFs) that are easy to purchase and manage.  

Your ALL in cost is only a cup of coffee.I am currently flipping homes in Orange County and teach others how to do so as well.

Important to understand the consulting fee received using a completely different company and for actions that are additions to brokering real estate like monitoring rehab, monitoring management company, monitoring house and tenant condition after renting and teaching specific strategies to real estate investments. 

Also you'll learn in the process and maybe even find an active flipper willing to teach you.

Teaching lumbering government agencies about innovative new business models is probably not a winning pursuit.  

They don't teach moral and legal in guru "wholesaling" classes....if they did most of these people would disappear. 

They said they like to teach newbies the rope but of course they (newbies) has to put in the deal.

It's very cool because a realtor I've been doing business with for the past four years has offered to mentor and teach me everything he knows.

My daughter was able to learn about fixing various things in the house and it was a perfect opportunity to teach her about assets vs. liabilities.
