I am not going to say anything bad about them as they are from my state. I have learned a thing or two over the years and that is Google.com has lots of answers. Now I have never been to a boot camp or purchased their course, but have picked up some Ron legrand stuff in the past. You can only learn so much from books, what you need to do is look for a mentor and write up some deals. I have found that starting off by wholesaling or flipping contracts is a good way to get started..need to take baby steps. I have found that there are a few ways to do creative real estate investing and everyone has there spin on them. I would check ebay like another member said and go through the course. Then try a few deals you will learn a lot more that way...Ok off my soapbox I just wish someone would of told it to me straight when I started. Now go out there and put some option contracts on some properties and make some cash.

Could you elaborate on option contracts? What exactly are they?
