Most rookie investors have a number of obstacles to overcome. They need the following:

• Learn the transactional part of the many different real estate strategies and deals
• Implement the business systems to scale the business
• Learn how to raise capital, and become an expert at this.
• Do an effective job of marketing
• Overcome their own limiting beliefs 
• Learn and practice advanced negotiation skills.

It's rare that a single company can provide you with all of the above. If you're playing the game with 1/2 the skills, you won't win.

I agree with the previous comments. Learn from others who are actually doing the work.

I have seen too many people try to go it alone. Take it from someone who is actively developing projects in 6 different cities across the country. Business is a team sport. If you're missing some skills, track record, capital, leads, systems - Find the right people to partner with. Investors invest in businesses. They don't invest in the self employed. So joining a team that has a track record of success is the best way for a rookie to get started. 

Don't go spend $25,000 cash. There's a better way.
