RE Investment Course?

[Carl G.]

So I recently hooked up with a commercial RE investor. He suggested that I take a RE investment course. I, too, think it is a good idea. So I did some searching on BP and discovered the book by Ray Alcorn. My local community college also has an RE course which is more like what this guy was talking about. Do you think I would be better off taking the community college course or paying the $600 and reading the book? I'm leaning towards taking the course. I just know it's going to be a PITA to have transcripts sent over, etc for admissions. It's a shame I can't just take one course without having to go through all that stuff. Does anyone have another course that might be worthwhile?

Thanks!
