That's actually my favorite time. 

I personally am impressed by both Jack and Seth and I know the methods they teach work because several members of my group have had success with raw land investing using these methods as well as methods from the other programs available.

Thats the beauty of the nomad method.

This method provides several advantages against a traditional manager as I can cater my service and fees to the individual needs of my owners.

2) Is it necessary to take a Real Estate Course, or can someone learn this method of Real Estate Investing on their own, through reading books, doing research and talking to people that have used this method of investing?

Perhaps that is based on our strategy and method for initial exploration of replacement properties.* We do not advertise that we are in a 1031 on the front end.* We request as much due diligence material as possible in the beginning.* We get as close as possible to ironing/feeling out deal terms that would be agreeable to the seller in advance of submitting an offer, including site visits if they are located in the same market we are vs. out of state/market.All of the above data provides us with enough of an analysis to know what our deal parameters are going to be, at least to within a few percentage points.
