What's the best program or class to use to learn to invest in Real Estate?

Question

I've gone to several seminars and searched online for the best Real Estate education courses. Yet they all seem the same for an atranomical price. I'm willing to pay but does anyone have experience with any classes that could help me as a beginning investor? What's worked for you?

Answer 1

I agree with most of the answers here.



Read books on real estate investing. Robert Allen's ooks are good but any real estate investing book is helpful.



You can start out scouting properties for other investors and assigning the contract aka Wholesaling to start.



Find a local Real Estate Investment Group in you area. They are great for finding mentors, networking, and resources.



Think long term. Be patient. You will actually know what they are talking about eventually.



Keep studying and don't worry if you are confused or make mistakes. First pay day is worth it and every pay day thereafter is worth it more.



Try to find a mentor in your Real Estate Investment Club you can trust. Mentors help you make less mistakes.



Good luck!

Answer 2

Honestly, I would steer clear of fancy seminars with real estate gurus. Pick up some books at your local library from some investors who started small. I read a book called "How to buy and sell real estate in any market" 20 years ago. The author's name escapes me, but I've been quite successful at it. I have more free time to do the things I love.

Answer 3

The people making the most money in real estate investing right now are the people selling courses on how to invest in real estate. Find a local club and talk to people.

Answer 4

Investing in real estate is really a use of common sense. You could get tons of info from books at the library.

Answer 5

as a beginning investor.. you want to make a profit... there is a way without spending or going to class.... get a list from the faa and the va and the farmers home on houses repossed.. thease houses sell for ten cents on the dollar... they need to be rebuilt.. the average cost to rebuild a house to make it habible is about 5 to 8 thousand more or less.. with your own labor... now you can triple your expenses on the sale of the home. ok.

Answer 6

Also, look for investment clubs or groups offered in your area. Where I live there is a RE investment group that meets monthly....no fee for membership.



It is designed for the exchange of information, with more experienced members helping newbies.



Great for contacts and networking, too.
