Currently I own and operate a video production business but have been turned on to the idea of Real Estate investing after learning a lot through the Rich Dad Poor Dad books.I know I have a ton to learn but also know that I've been blessed with lots of knowledge from my other professional experiences.

I can't speak to either of those schools, but I'd imagine the more expensive schools probably have nicer courses with prettier graphics and better quality audio/video... but I'd wager that the content is the same either way.

.- Install dummy cameras, with video surveillance signs.- Install blinds at front windows so that it's not obvious your house is vacant from the street.- Install timer outlets that turn on lights/TV/Radio during evening hours to make it appear that the house is occupied.- Do not have a For Sale sign in front of the house.- If feasible in your area, use an electronic agent-only keybox, rather than a lockbox with a code.- Install a GPS tracking device in your appliances to help police track and find the criminals- Make sure the lawn is regularly maintained and newspapers and fliers don't pile up on the driveway.- Leave a car parked in the driveway.

great question, I put a video together regarding your question.Best Wishes Larry!

Finding ways to comply with Dodd Frank and do these long term lease options I believe is a great strategy for underwater homes.Brian, can you explain why you think a long term L/O is better for underwater homes vs other methods, without posting a video to watch?

@Brian Gibbons I love videos like this.

Callfire.com or voiceshot.com for call blasts; automatically calls and plays recorded messages Use Jing/camtasia/screenr to record videos of your computer screen (for creating training videos for your virtual assitants) Use Odesk/elance/Virtualstafffinder.com to find virtual help Use Vflyers to advertise your properties; it links back to your personal website...make sure to have youtube videos of the property as well.

For instance, stay focused, determined, always give back, only a few will put the work in that's needed to be successful, willingness to sacrifice, etc.He sent me a link for a video that I thought was great, and very inspiring.
