Hi! I'm looking for honest opinions to one Q!

[Pedro NA]

Hi there Bigger Pockets community!

(Preview of a long story short, I'm looking for opinions on the best Real Estate Investment education platform out there [even north of $20K] that you feel gave you the best learnings, skills, and guidance in your REI journeys for the Canadian market. Thank you in advance!).

I'm a new joiner, and excited to get started here after knowing about this site for some time now, but wanted to put a question out there to hopefully get some honest opinions before anything else.

My wife and I started our Real Estate investment journey about 2 years ago, and to date we have 3 doors, which isn't much (we know, and we'retrying to change that! Lol).

When we started we were looking into courses to speed up our knowledge, strategies and skills, so we took some, and even took the leap on a big ticket one that was over $20K. We learned quite a bit from it, but when it came time for support the education company closed shop and went into receivership by the FTC. This of course did some damage to our aspirations, but we continued with what we did know but, at a very...slow...pace. Until the time we just stopped for a bit because we ran into other roadblocks along our REI journey that became deflating.

BUT we are now fully ready to get back on the saddle to gaining the knowledge quickly to becoming savvy Real Estate Investors – with proper guideance to start (hopefully!)

So my question is, we've recently started looking at big ticket Real Estate Investment educators/platforms thay offer vast knowledge, skills development, and inital guidance, even if it costs more than $20K (odd why those pricey ones are always around the $20K mark, isn't it?!). So wondering, can anyone here let us know which REI Ed. platform offers the most well rounded education and guidance in their opinion for ~$20K , or whatever the price range for the Canadian (preferably) market?

We've heard of some, like Keyspire, REIT, Will-to-Win, Zurixx, etc. but just wanted to hear from the community here who has been in one of these ~$20K courses, to see which one you all feel is the best one to take.

THANK YOU ALL in advance for your opinions! 💛✨️

Cheers,

Pedro R.

So you spent 20k on a program that got shut down by the FTC and are looking to spend another 20k despite being already owning property and having done so for 2 years?

Save your money and find a property. Endless education just delays moving forward. I understand that some people benefit from courses and seminars, but book learning never supersedes experience IMO. You've already started so I'm not sure where the need for extra education comes from.

You'll learn more from doing deals and doing them often than anyone can teach you in a classroom. Find local meetups, ask questions, and network. Maybe you can find a mentor and do a JV deal of some sort where you front or lend the money in exchange for mentorship so you can earn and learn simultaneously.
