Their are a lot of Real estate investment courses you can take to learn the real estate game. Prices vary from $150-$100,000. What they seem to teach you to do is look for real estate the old fashioned way, drive, look and don't deal with Realtors. In fact I'm ask all the time why are you still a realtor, doesn't that tie your hands and get you less deals?
The answer to that is no. What it does do is get me more properties to buy Thur the MLS and banks. It takes a lot of time to find the better deals. I check 4 things with each property, spread, Days on Market, Neighborhood, and time. To get that type of information in a consist ant format I need my real estate license. With the Internet and all the other tools at my disposal things can get done quicker and much more efficient.
When your looking for investment real estate you need all the information you can get to make a intelligent decision. Also having a real estate license keeps me up on all the current laws and trends in the business.
Imagine going to court with someone who said they knew all the laws but didn't have there law degree or license. Would you trust them? Your going to pay them a lot of money to support you, and I don't think a sensible person would trust someone without a license to represent them in court.
The other issue I have with these real estate courses do they help you in any investment properties that make you actual money or do they just sell you the course and good luck?
Make sure you get with people that are in the business and understand your needs and expectations. Spending a lot of money does not guarantee success but getting people who do this all the time can make you a huge success. Details are the crucial things in a deal can make or break you.
In closing be careful out there and make sure your dealing with people that do real estate investing full time, because finding the right deals is harder than most people think. Brett Young Valley Realty www.rooftopprofitmax.com
