Favorite home study course for a newb?

[hassansr]

Kris has a great course, it gives the basic foundation that you'll need. You will wnat to learn how to deal with more situations via other courses and experience. Good luck

Hello Everyone,

My wife and I really want to get into real estate investing so we have begun the education process by getting info from sites like this, but I really want to buy a course to help us get the ball rolling towards our first deal. We dont have any money or credit so I was thinking about courses that explain how to get around this through finding hard money lenders, or other means.

Ive listened to a bunch of different pitches on home study courses via real estate podcasts, but I really can only buy one ($1K or less) until we get a few deals done. Are there any specific courses that you have had personal experience with that were really thorough?

THe one course that sounds intriging to me is Kris Kirscners Auto pilot system. Have any of you used this or know anythiing about it?

Thanks in advance,
crazychile

Your local library should have real estate books, tapes, CD's.  All free.  First you need to learn the vocabulary and terms. 

If you are still excited after that you will know that real estate is your thing.

to get started investing you should look for a investor friendly realtor who will share their expired listings.  or if you want i have an orginal carlton sheets program  the book and cassette tapes i think this will help you get started.  send me an email with your contact info and i will send it to you.  you can reach me here at reiclub   put carlton sheets program in the subject line. i no longer have a use for it and will be glad to send it to you. bryan

Stay away from the guru's!!! 

Like Furnished Owner said go to the library, heck go to ebay and buy thier course for chump change compared to what they charge... You will see in the long run how much better off you were when you find missing information and incomplete courses.  And when you save $10,000-20,000 on some over the phone coaching program, when you can get the same info here for free, thats when know you played it smart. 

Go to an investors club and make friends.  For me to learn how to invest it helps me to have someone pointing thier finger and showing me every step of the way.  You might might not be able to find this at an investors meeting but it will point you in the right direction of networking.
