Real Estate Courses


I've been at this Real Estate game for a while an run into a number of courses by a variety of promoters.  I’ve investigated a number of them. Bought to many that were not something I could do because of my lack of believe in it or myself or my internal sense of what is ethical .
(Note:  My first business job required knocking on doors collecting payments and repossessing cars & refrigerators so I'm not shy.)

My current search was for a way to come up with more buyer – seller leads without my letter to X owners being the 15th  they received this year.It begin with another “deal” ”course” out of Tampa Florida   Seemed OK (90%) cheaper than the courses 1 or 2 years ago  but would it really be the answer?

I wanted something that would solve the immediate problem and leap frog me over the next 3 or 4 hurdles/obstacles I would probable run into. However the course preview did reinforce that without a buyers or sellers list you don't have an operational business.

Rejected that guy's limited product and returned to the web.  There’s a course.  BUT it’s not logical to me.  It was about being involved with Arbitrage.  How to do it and all the forms  (of course not approved in my state so more $$ later to be paid to a lawyer later.)  OK arbitrage sounds cool but did not state training included how to get the funds to perform the arbitrage with. So I’d be back to the problem of no list of active sellers, no list of active buyers and no source of funds when I need them. 

Success?? Believe I found my course and a Business Plan to Success.  This course basically covers all I was looking for.  Comes recommended by a source I’ve read, followed for years.  ((Susan Lassiter-Lyons
Founder of Investor Insights Real Estate Club Denver, CO ))

The course not taken.  Only within the course's promotional site did I find a recommendation - testimony about how great it was.  “Bigger Pockets” had someone asking about it months ago but no comments from anyone taking the course.  The FB  ad for it..the forwarder had no knowledge of the product.  The only good news was that there were no scam reports about it..

Here to your success in the new year.
