Client took a course to learn to buy and sell (flip) houses. I know the course itself is not deductible.             

My question is if the Mentorship program which allows him to contact/consult with experts, and which he pays monthly can be deducted and under what category.  

The other expense in question is the renewal of the coaching program, which is renewal of the original course but which was paid for after client was officially in business, if so, under what category? 

Thank you. 

Client had 0 income in 2022.
