The value of a course is in the of the student. If you are certain that you want to vigorously persue short sales, then the cost of your education surely shouldnt be a factor.
The post above suggested that they didnt need to pay $500 to learn short sales, and good for them. But most investors that are bringing home big paychecks have a fair amount of dollars tied into their education.
I have thousands and thousands of dollars that I have invested in my RE education, and I still invest in my education today.
If it is your goal and your ambition, find a specialized area of the real estate business and focus on it! Once you have that area conquered and are bringing home BIG paychecks, you may then decide to invest in other "specialty" areas of the RE business. Be cautious not to reinvent the wheel. Guru's such as Ron Legrand have made it big, and they are willing to share their secrets . . . for a price. Just remember, one big paycheck, can truly change the rest of your life!
Thanks a lot guys for the replies. I do understand that I need to invest in to my education. I just don't want to throw away a bunch of money on the overpriced course .
That was really my point it was not that you should not invest money into your career but you have to be selective of where you spend your money. I have spent some money on courses to help me understand short sales and to give me some of the essentials necessary to be successful. I'm just speaking from experience saying that it is possible to learn how to do short sales without spending your money on a $500 course. I see 8-10 pre-foreclosed properties per week and have enough deals that I have closed and currently in the pipleline to share my opinion with you. Hopefully this helps you to make a decision for yourself.
I have done several short sales and I cannot figure out what information can be worth $500. I did not learn how to do short sales by spending $500.
