Can Real Estate Investor Training Really Jump Start a Career in Real Estate?

You might be surprised by what the pros say about real estate investor training.

Is real estate investor training worth the effort? You’d like to make money in real estate. Who wouldn’t? And you want to start with the lowest possible outlay of your own money. So the idea of taking a real estate investor training course to get started might not be all that appealing to you.

But if you talk to the men and women who are making a good living investing in real estate you’ll find that almost all of them wish they had been able to take advantage of a good real estate investor training program. The fact is, even the most successful real estate pros became successful through pure determination and a little good luck thrown in. Most of them didn’t have the benefit of being trained by experts.

Get Training from the Pros

The real-deal, hard-working real estate professionals who make good money year in and year out will tell you to take advantage of any real estate investor training available, provided it’s taught by people that are making a good living in real estate and have developed a formula that you can learn and duplicate.

Here are a few things to look for in a good real estate investor training program:

• Is it taught by a real estate professional with a track record for making money? • Are the instructors teaching you a tested, proven, repeatable process? • Can they show you how to launch without spending a lot of your own money? • Will anyone be available to answer questions?

Flipping property is a great way to start making money in real estate without a large upfront investment on your part. A good program should teach you the five critical steps involved in flipping property.

Five Steps For Profitable Flipping:

1. Land a private lender. Work with a private lender so you’re not using your own money. There are lots of these lenders currently working with real estate investors.

2. Find good property. Find the best property in your town or neighborhood that fits all the flipping criteria.

3. Use a skilled contractor. Don’t plan on doing any repairs on the property yourself. Establish a relationship with a contractor whom you can trust to do the work on time and within budget.

4. Work with a trustworthy broker. Establish a relationship with a broker you trust and who will not work with other flippers in your area. The realtor should be given responsibility for the property launch and for selling the properties for you.

5. Use a reputable title company. Find a reputable title company in your area and establish a committed, exclusive relationship with that one company. They will be responsible for running the closing and handling all funds.

Armed with this information you should be able to locate a solid, reputable real estate investor training program that will guide you to a successful career in real estate.
