Absolutely, there are heaps! I like Dolf de Roos (www.propertyprosperity.com) and in Australia, Dymphna Boholt (www.dymphnaboholt.com) and Bill Zheng (www.investorsdirect.com.au).

I’m sure there are lots of great seminars in other countries, too, though - you just have to get out there and network with other investors, and they should be willing to share with you which seminars they found most useful. Look for property investors’ clubs near you. Make sure they’re not commercial outfits masquerading as a club, though, but genuine networking groups for property investors. If you’re in the USA, try the National Real Estate Investors Association for a group near you. In other countries, try a google search for “property investors club” and your country name.

I belong to a property investing club specifically for women in my area, and we are fantastically supportive of each other, and share the “real deal” on what we’re up to, our successes and failures, and it’s truly invaluable. Whilst the seminars I’ve been to were a great foundation and taught me the “lingo” and the basic strategies, the best “tricks of the trade” I’ve ever learnt have come from other investors.

Best wishes!

Try a community college course. There are many offered.
they aren’t trying to sell you expensive seminars.

To make a profit requires consistency.
To have consistency requires you know and speak the language.
Take the real estate licensee course. You will learn most of the ins and outs plus you’ll meet the real players in the real estate business. Because they too know that the real money comes from knowing the ESSENTIALS.

There are no short cuts to success in real estate.
