How & Where Can I Learn Real Estate Strategies Without Paying a Guru $1,000+

Hey BP fam,

I’m a new investor just getting started, and I’m trying to learn about all the different strategies out there — especially creative financing methods like seller financing, subject-to, lease options, etc.

The problem is, every time I try to look something up on YouTube, it seems like it’s always from a guru who’s just trying to funnel you into a $1,000+ course. I don’t mind investing a little in my education, but I’m cautious about dropping that kind of money when I don’t know what I’m actually getting — especially with so many upsells and mixed reviews.

I read posts here on BP all the time, and I constantly see people saying that you don’t need to pay a guru — that all the information they’re selling is already out there for free, if you just know where to look. That sounds great… but I’m still not sure where to actually find that info and learn it in a way that’s structured and beginner-friendly.

So my question is: Where can I truly learn creative real estate strategies without spending a fortune?

Books, YouTube channels that are actually educational, podcasts, blogs, courses under $100 — I’m open to any solid, no-BS resources that can help me build a real foundation.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give. I really appreciate how helpful this community is and I’m excited to get going the right way.
