First, DO NOT p*ss away even one dime on any sort of real estate investing class, home study course, boot camp or mentoring program.

You don't know what to do with it because really, you're into socializing a lot more than just studying investment opportunities.

I have studied about 6 different "gurus" and now making some solid cash in bank owned properties.

This is a lot of hard work and endless hours of studying and rersearch, but for me it has been worth it.

Here's a little information about me: I'm a full-time student studying Finance at University of Ottawa and just turned 20 less than a couple weeks ago.

We're both very excited about this.For the last couple of weeks I've been re-reading flip/rehab books I've bought in the past and studying REI forums intensely.

I am going to be taking the test to become a licensed agent in Washington state here soon (4 clock hours left).I was wondering if anyone had good suggestions on books that I could use to study for the exam.

We'll help you out.Finally, you'll start to put together a business plan and get moving.So, basically, forget all the guru sales nonsense and start studying.

Matt,I'd probably do some traveling spend a lot of time studying subjects that interest me maybe go back to school but, I've never really needed someone to tell me what books to read.

I would strongly suggest that you do a lot of serious studying before you buy anything.
