Speaking for someone who knew nothing about REI except for what's shown on television, I found the seminar to be quite helpful.They allow you to bring a guest with no additional cost, therefore, me and my guest split the cost in half.My instructor for the 3-day course was great and his team even help me devise a REI plan although they knew that I did not have the means to purchase the additional courses.

I love to learn, but there just isn't enough time to do all of that and actually have a life.To be honest, trying to do a lot of this stuff in addition to my full-time job (I'm a college instructor) I run out of time, so I've also been investing in Notes. 

My teacher was tiffany stiles (or ross, i cant remember which she is now because she changed her name legally during the class), but i hear that Matt Davies, the other instructor, is really good as well. 

All the instructors learned what they know about Real Estate Investing from the most expensive school out there, The School of Hard Knocks.

Soon I realized that I needed help, I got an instructor and started taking lessons, as well as reading.  

@WillSchryver Check out Bob Hogue at www.hogue-school.com and also 360 Training at http://www.360training.com/promo/florida-real-esta...If you have the time going to an actual class is of great benefit as you learn a lot not just from the instructor but also from the questions others ask that you may not have thought about. 

My careers included accountant, insurance sales, entrepreneur (retail...successful, but took too much time, so sold so I could spend more time raising my boys), software developer, college instructor, college administrator, and instructional designer (curriculum developer).Over the years, my husband and I rehabbed a few properties for rentals, which we later sold, so now that I am at loose ends again (the college I worked for the last 10 years gained a new administration who decided to lose a few hundred employees), I decided to try my hand at flipping.

I was active duty for almost 15 years and now a Reserve instructor at Whiting.
