Tips for this e-Course
This e-Course is designed to educate you in being the best LP passive investor in the quickest amount of time. Some more advanced (nitpicky) topics may not apply to you or the deal you are looking at but it is important that you are aware and start to speak the lingo.
There are 3 major methods to get to your goal, I suggest you make headway in all three at the same time or which route resonates with you the best:
1) "Start with the answers in the answer key" - Check out the past deal webinars and get used to seeing live deals. This is how I got my self through college by looking at the answer key and backwards engineering the solution/method.
2) The traditional method - Go thought this e-Course sequentially
3) If you are an Accredited Investor, technically you don't need to know any thing to invest. I have seen a lot of unsophisticated Accredited investors invest this way however they do have the network of other sophisticated investors around them. At some point when you complete this course you are going to build a good high net worth peer group to get sustainable deal flow and to collaborate on due-diligence.
Whatever you do, save the Bonus 1 through 3 for the very end at it introduces more advanced concepts and nuances.
Good luck, many people never get off the beaten path to learn this material, but they are also the ones that never get to real financial freedom.
