Real Estate Investing Course - Do Real Estate Investing Courses Help Investors?



http://www.REIClub.com -- Are Real Estate Investing Courses Necessary To Be Successful As a Real Estate Investor? Here's How You Can Decide If A Real Estate Investing Course Is Right For You. Hi, this is Frank Chen with REIClub.com, the only site you need as a real estate investor. Today I've got quick video on Real Estate Investing Courses and if you need them. I always get asked if "this" course or "that" course is good, and its hard for me to give an accurate answer because the course is only 50% of the equation, YOU are the other 50%. First step... QUALIFYING YOURSELF: - How much time do you have? - How are you with reading books? Taking notes? Application? - Have you attended any real estate investment clubs / meetings? - Have you explored other ways to learn the real estate business? - What kind of results are you expecting? Are you looking to get rich quick? BENEFITS TO REAL ESTATE HOME STUDY COURSES: - Self-pace - Great way to start, most have 90% of what you need to get out there and do deals - Usually pretty informative for beginners/intermediate investors - 1-10 Deals - Topic Specific - focused - Watch recorded LIVE events without sitting through them - Includes resources - forms, documents, marketing material, cds, dvds, software - Email access to authors - Support - email, 1-800, weekly calls DISADVANTAGES: - Sometimes can be pretty basic - Won't tell you everything you need to know step-by-step - Learning methods may not fit your style of learning - Quality of every course varies - Pricey compared to retail books - Overwhelming - 200 page manuals - Risk of becoming "professional student" -- must apply info QUALIFYING REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT COURSES: - Read reviews online - be sure they are not produced by the retailer, but by previous consumers - Test it out - money back guarantee period - biggest problem = people don't open it - What kind of support are they offering? COSTS FOR REAL ESTATE EDUCATIONAL MATERIAL: - costs can vary - typically $700 - $1000, some as low as $300 - 1-payment, 2-payment (premium), rare to see 3-4 payment options (premium) A course won't do a deal for you, so don't get stuck spending all your time analyzing every detail. If you are new to the business or have a few deals under your belt these types of courses are more beneficial to you. If you are seasoned, or experienced real estate investor (20+ deals), and looking for those special niche strategies, you might be able to pull a few helpful tips out here and there, but its not always guaranteed. So be aware of that. Again, this is Frank Chen with REIClub.com.
