Beginning Investor from Atlanta

[Omar Gray]

Hey my name is Omar Gray

I'd love to give you a very long story about my life but I figure it would be better to stick to business.

Recently I have been on a understanding path for how to acquire real estate with out using my money or credit. Unfortunately I have been tricked by very persuasive gurus that rather hurt then help.

I would really love to find some real estate courses that focus on "Subject To" without any of the guru lies being told in the Market Place. Please and Thank You in Advance.

Welcome, Omar!

I'm a new investor working hard to get my first few deals under my belt.  Seller financing is a big topic, and there is lots to learn.  

There are many snakes in the grass.  It sounds like you've already run into some.  I think your biggest defense against them is knowing precisely what you want.  Have you outlined your goals?  Do you know what type of properties you're wanting to invest in?  If you have your goals outlined there is nothing anyone can do to throw you off track.  It's easy to be enticed by the many strategies that promise to make you the most money.  Pick one or two that you feel will deliver the results you want and focus all your energy there.

IMO, Bigger Pockets is the only real estate "course" you need.  Bury yourself in the posts here and do searches on the topics you're interested in.  You'll find a wealth of knowledge.  If you have questions that you can't find the answers to, just ask.  There are lots of people here willing to help you.

Good luck and don't get discouraged!
