Scott is an excellent instructor and sincere in his teachings.

The courses are now available "ala carte": you don't need to put out tens of thousands of dollars just to get the course(s) you want.The Tax Liens and Deeds instructor is a licensed broker in Idaho with 16 years experience including 14 years coaching both new and experienced investors.Message me privately to discuss ... 

One of their so called instructors from one of the training sessions asks the students to go to the five star hotels, or go play golf, or go horse riding, or go hang out at the high end night clubs for the sake of fund raising.

Most of these course instructors aren't qualified to teach anything but the most elementary real estate concepts and try to make their courses more marketable by teaching concepts they have no business teaching. 

Still self directed and on your own time, 3rd option live and in person with an instructor and other students.
