@Omar Khan I'm not sure if I was misleading in my last post but I want to make it abundantly clear that I am NOT in any way looking for a "secret strategy" or a "free lunch".  I am extremely disappointed that Kiwosaki would lend his name to such a low brow organization.  

My question was if anyone out there could point me towards any specific real estate book titles?  I am fishing for new titles that I have not already read.  

@Omar Khan, Thank you for your thoughts.  I couldn't agree more.  After I posted my question to the forum I got online and started doing a little digging.  Rich Dad Education seems to be a total scam.  Along with hundreds of articles, blogs and posts about how shady and aggressive the Rich Dad Education series are I found a 20 minute "Canadian Dateline" investigation that took cameras undercover and inside the 3 day class.  It was appalling.  After watching that I have been disgusted by the thought that people use the guise of "education" to get people to raise their credit limits and get further into debt to buy their software and take their course. 

That being said, it was a very valuable lesson to learn.  These people are good at swindling. It was a good reminder to be constantly vigilant because people are always trying to take you're money.  

I am moving to a new state but  just through a couple conversations with friends I have already found a new contact in Missoula who, ironically enough, is a very successful banker.  I am going to be needing one of those! I am very excited to see where that relationship will lead.  

Does anyone have any suggestions on good books to read?  I have read many books so far but am always looking for more information.  

Thank you for you're review!  I went to one of the free events yesterday and ended up falling for the first real estate class.  I left after they started selling the options trading class.  I left feeling strangely violated.  You're post saved me from wasting my time and money.  Thank you!

P.S.  This is embarrassing to admit but they are now giving out free tablets to keep track of all the documents needed for the class.  And buy free I mean charging $400 for a $150 tablet because instead of my class being $300 like you'res was I paid $700!  Although in my defense I had never been in a sales situation before.  Now I know what to look for!  Thanks again!

Hey there, 

My name is Logan and I am new to Bigger Pockets.  My first question for the BP community is about taking more advanced Rich Dad Education ( now called "Legacy Education") courses.  I went to the free seminar this morning and while I did enjoy my self I thought that they were aggressive with the sales of more advanced classes.  I love Kiyosaki's books but was a bit turned off by how aggressive they were today.  

They are asking $700 for a 3 day course called "Legacy Education".  I am a little uneasy spending that money without ever hearing from outside sources that the programs are worth the price. 

Have any of you ever attended a paid Rich Dad Education course?

If so, how was it?  

Was it worth the money/time?  

Thanks for your insights!
