the funny thing is, you'll read these replies, from total strangers and if you get into real estate investing in more depth - you'll increase your knowledge base - TEN FOLD.then you'll look back on this and the next 50 posts or so and say, "wow, i was really clueless."

Are they a total scam or do some legitimate ones actually exist?

Assuming you don't go up in total amount borrowed (or total loan length) from house to house, and assuming you are making a true profit each time, and assuming you apply that profit to the mortgage, then yes, you will pay off your house more quickly.For this to work, though, the profit needs to be from your improvements (repairs) and not appreciation.

my two sense is, really go out and while you're in college - take real life "classes" in the street while also going to school in the college.that is everything i am about.at work in the past 5 months i boasted $55,000 in sales with the total being $155000 between 4 people. the top seller being the owner because... well he just has more experience and he's there more. but i can sell anything.the real estate certificate i am attaining here at college is only 4 classes. i'm incorporating that into my schedule with my mechanical engineering major classes as well as business. so its kind of complicated.i wont be able to get my brokers license for two years because 1. i dont have the correct study guide and utilities nor the money to pay the $800 i have seen for some.
