What is the best way o getting up to speed with Remote investing

Question

Hi there

I'm an Australian looking to start investing in the US RE market. I am tossing up whether to pay AUD$40K for an advanced course which includes a buying summit in Vegas and would like to know if anyone out there has done the course and whether you found you got real value out of it, or whether in hind sight you would have had to learn the hard way anyway? I've already done a 3 day seminar which I thought was worthwhile but this is offering a whole lot more education, support, mentorship etc. many thanks and I love this forum!

@Amanda ChoyWelcome to BiggerPockets. I recommend getting through at least three real estate books and 10 podcasts before spending that money on a summit. There are plenty of free education out there. Also you can make a lot more saving that money for your first deal. I wish you the best of luck.

Hi Amanda,

It looks like we're neighbours!

What was the upshot of all this, did you spend the money?

I think we possibly went to the same seminar. I'd love to hear how you're going and what your plans are on this as we're looking at spending the same amount!

Cheers

Simon

thanks so much @Aaron Mercer and @Frederico Gutierrez. I am definitely taking your advice. I fly into Dallas on 1 January - hope to meet you both! Speak soon.

Seriously keep that money in your pocket. Get on a plane and visit the different markets you think you could invest. Talk to other Australian's and see what they have done. @Aaron

@Aaron Mercerundefined has got some nice rentals in the US. I have some as well and I started with the same capital you did.

Those education gurus just take you money and don't promise any results. It's just lining their pockets with knowledge that is available readily and freely on here

@Amanda Choy Welcome to BP! Keep the cash in your pocket. Everything you need to know about investing can be found here. Hit the forums, read the blogs and listen to the podcasts.

I'm an Aussie (Hunter Valley) living in the US (California) and that $40k can pay the down payment for house in the market I invest. Reach out if you have any questions that I can help with. good luck.
