As it sounds like you've learned, "free" seminars are typically just a sales pitch for more seminars. I've benefited far more from books than seminars. You can start with all of the Bigger Pockets books. Just click the "Bookstore" link at the top of the BP site. Get every book you can from Amazon or your local library on the topic of real estate investing. Podcasts and Youtube videos are also helpful and free. If you are just starting out, read and listen to everything you can get your hands on.

Perhaps most helpful, seek out experienced investors in your area and offer to buy them lunch or coffee. Offer to invest with them or help them find the next deal and learn from them.
