Training Courses
Question for everyone out there:
I realize you can find a lot of information out there for free and in fairly cheep books, but I was looking for something I don't really have to pick through to develop my foundation of real estate knowledge. Would it be a good idea to invest in a course or are they a total waste of money? I noticed some hustlers selling Ron Legrand's course for $229.00, versus the 1497.00 his company sells it for. Does he offer a clear and concise yet informative course, and would it be a good investment? I appreciate the help.

I'm confused as to which one you're referring to as the hustler, the $229, or the $1497. You can find information in almost every course available that's potentially worth more than the price you paid for the information, BUT ONLY IF YOU APPLY IT. If you plan on using the information that you learn to become a Succesful Real Estate Investor, then you should get a course, and when you've learned all that that course has to offer, get another one and repeat the process. You should endeavor to continuously educate yourself if you really want to be successsful at anything.[ Edited by jeff12002 on Date 01/15/2004 ]
I would recommend the Carleton Sheets course. It has been several years since I have seen the course; but as I recall, it provided a nice foundation in basic real estate, discussed landlording in some detail, and presented an overview of the various creative real estate techniques.
You can order the entire course on a 30-day probation for just a $10 deposit. At the end of the probation period return the course, or keep it and pay the balance of the purchase price.
