I do enjoy the books, magazines, a few games, appointment scheduler, email, internet browsing (although AT&T is not in my area), and so much more.

There are some DIY kits floating around the internet for a couple of hundred.

So far i know im good in internet marketing (SEO) and gorrilla marketing online... i also have experience of being the door knocker asking distress homeowners to sell there homes or to do a short sale with a broker before the bank takes over.

Some schools (NYU for instance) offer certificate of real estate programs for those wishing to learn real estate in an academic environment but without the time, money and hassle of obtaining a degree.The very smart, motivated and technically proficient can search the internet and probably be able to piece together their own "course of study" in real estate.

My experience is mainly watching Television on DIY and rehab shows, countless upon countless hours of internet research, joining a real estate club, and several books such as Steve Berges "The Complete Guide to Buying and Selling Apartment Complexes" "How to Buy and Sell Apartment Buildings" by Stephen Vollucci.
