Know of Any Good Real Estate Investment Schools or Programs? A Friend Is Looking….

I’ve never been a huge fan of the real estate investment education companies. There are so many of them, and some of them seem to be a big scam. Many of them are here in Utah -- Ha ha.

One of my best friends is looking at schools and programs so he can learn how to properly buy and sell real estate as an investment. He asked me if I knew of any good ones, and unfortunately I don’t. I thought I would do a quick survey of my groups on LinkedIn and see if anyone has any recommendations.

If you have a recommendation of a good school or program, please leave it as a comment below. Also, give your reason for recommending it. I want to give my friend some good options!

Thanks for your comments.

    Corey Dutton, is your friend a BP member...if not send him this way! I cannot recommend a specific school or program because I have not spent a dime on real estate investing education (beyond classes to get my agent license). I have learned what I know from many free resources including BP (blogs and forums), free real estate/business classes online, books from my local library, meeting with other investors, etc. Some people need more structure and I am sure someone can recommend something, but I am a fan of saving money to use for actual investing.

    If someone is going to recommend something it may help if you include what kind of real estate investing he is looking to get into, as there are thousands of programs out there focusing on many different areas and strategies, so it may help to know what he is looking for.
