courses, mentorships and masterminds
I'm trying to get my first deal and in the prosses of educating myself. I have came across deal flow and was wondering if anybody has taken this course if so was it worth the investment and how much did it help.
Thank you,

Be wary of any of the courses that profess to teach you the secrets of getting rich in real estate and in fact, the only ones getting rich are the ones selling the courses. I may get flack for saying this but there is a wealth of information available at little or no cost and local REIGs that can teach you about your local market. We have found - from personal experience - that these courses offer general knowledge that often do not apply to your state or local area. Take the money you would be forced to pay for the course and use it to buy your first property and take off from there.
Bigger Pockets has proven to be a resource that has been worth far more than what we paid for one of those courses and has gotten us to where we are in the real estate investment arena.
