Courses?
Recently a company contacted me about a course on tax liens and REI. They said that they provide mentoring and coaching as well as intructions on how to do REI. I'm a bit skepticle.
I'm not advertising for any company, I'm just wondering if anybody else has experienced anything like this. The price they quoted me was 1500 up front and then they finance the rest, the final total being 3500.
They gave me a site to go to in order to check them out, but it looked weird .I've never heard of the company, but apparently they have been around a long time, and they are traded on stock exchange.
Any thoughts? <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_confused.gif"> [ Edited by Sourcefinance on Date 02/05/2004 ]
There have been alot of telephone solicitations regarding this area.
In my opinion they are over-rated and overpriced for what they offer. I think you can get a better education by finding good reference materials, reading them, finding a mentor and using your money for RE investing instead of giving it to the training companies.
By the way -- this site has as much or more information than you are likely to receive from those companies.

Thanks For reply
I'll keep reading.
Thanks
I've went to a Russ whitney seminar and paid $2000. They are very smart and you can learn alot but you need to ask youself if you've the money to get all the info out of them b/c they won't teach you unless you give them more money, more money. They threw so much info at me in 3 days that I was over loaded and forgot almost everything. GOOD thing I took alot of notes or it would of been a complete waste of money. My advice to you is USE this site b/c there is alot of great people on this site that will help you for FREE. Go get some books and read up on stuff and if you have any questions post it on TCI.
This is my favorite web-site!!
I'm addicted to learning from it!!
Good Luck!! See you at the top!!!
Any suggestions on where to start?
Theres so much information. I've read lots so far.
I know this is off the subject, but I need some advise. I was wondering what people think about living in hotels. You see...someone I know is thinking about living in a hotel until they can get their finances right. They live in Atlanta, and wants to possibly invest in real estate while hotel hoping month to month.
Does anyone think this is feasable?
I suggested that he invest in a foreclosure or go to an auction and buy a house cheap and then flip it.
It's kind of round about to me.
Any thoughts?
