This course is worth the time and money, especially for beginners. Some folks in the course with me had high income W2s and/or a rental income empires. I have neither! Modest W2 with one STR. Using what I learning in Amanda and Matt's course, my federal income tax liability is zero, so it paid for itself many many times over. I want to stress that this course is indeed useful for individuals with advanced tax situations, but if you are just starting out and your tax situation is relatively simple (like mine), this course is even more valuable to you. Several of the tax discussions and strategies in the course are concepts beyond my earning/investment level, but as I grow and reach that level, I'll have the resources of this course to scale the right way. It's unreal how much I learned. Do yourself a favor and start out with guidance from the experts. You don't know what you don't know!
