Most of us were never taught how money actually grows — and that gap costs people years of potential financial security. Over two evenings, this straightforward, jargon-free course introduces the foundational concepts of long-term investing, giving everyday people the knowledge they need to make confident, informed decisions about their financial future. Whether you are just starting out or finally ready to understand what your 401K is actually doing, this course meets you exactly where you are.

You'll explore how the stock market works, what influences it, and which financial instruments and investment accounts are available to you — from 401Ks and IRAs to index funds and beyond. The focus is always on practical, accessible knowledge that applies to real life and real financial situations, regardless of your current income or savings level.

Please note: This course is educational in nature and is not intended as personal financial advice. It is not designed to teach day trading, technical analysis, or financial analysis.

Do you feel your rental properties own you rather than the other way around? Do you want to own rental properties but don’t know where to start learning about becoming a successful landlord? Or, maybe, you already own income properties and feel you need more information about how to successfully manage your tenants.

Learn best practices for managing your tenants. Learn top techniques for collecting rent. Get smart and understand the Good Landlord Program and how it can guide management of tenants. Learn the requirements for serving eviction notices, what type of eviction notices to serve and how the eviction process benefits landlords.
