Real Estate Investing Education

Every experienced real estate investor understands that to succeed in property investing you need to study special texts, learn different investing techniques and never stop searching for new information.

But what if you just recently decided to start investing?

You would like to improve your financial situation and build serious wealth using the oldest, most reliable form of investment on earth but have no idea where to start. Maybe you think it’s a good idea to attend a “super” seminar for $10 000. Will it be just a plain waste of money and time? What if at the end you decide that fixing toilets and arguing with tenants is not your favorite kind of hobby and would rather do something else? In most cases the information presented is completely free, but in some instances you will have to provide your e-mail address.

One of the easiest and safest ways to start gaining real estate investment experience and some spare cash for your future deals is by bird-dogging, or in other words, providing qualified leads to more accomplished investors. You don’t need money or good credit to start as a bird-dog and you will learn a lot working with real investors and real deals. It also can be done in your spare time without excessive risks, but this technique is more involved from the procedural point of view and needs a higher level of knowledge and experience than bird-dogging.

Several years ago two famous real estate authors Peter Conti and David Finkel released a very practical and informative book called “How To Create Multiple Streams of Income Buying Homes in Nice Areas With Nothing Down!” devoted mostly to the Lease Option method acquiring and controlling real estate without actually buying it. You can buy this book in your bookstore for about $20.00, but why would you want to do that when you can get this book for free from the author’s web site.

Many homeowners with little or no equity at all have big difficulties selling their property because they have to come up with additional cash to pay for real estate agents’ sales commission and so they are ready give up this property for free. If an investor takes this property without qualifying for the new mortgage and continues to pay the original owner’s mortgage payments he is taking this property “subject to existing financing”. You can make hundreds of thousands of dollars by buying a run-down house at the right price, using the correct finance structure, fix it up for the least possible cost and then sell it for maximum profit, or hold and use the newfound equity to help fund your next property.

I barely scratched the surface here. If you are persistent enough, you can find much more free valuable real estate investing educational materials, including more free books, reports, real estate forms and even free audio and video presentations. Fire up your computer and start searching.
