I am going to be a commercial real estate broker, but would like to know a realistic time period, assuming I am motivated and am trained well.

I attended their 3 day class for $200, and I learned so much information about investing in real estate, to credit repair, and financing and all that, but i couldn't afford their advanced training classes for a ridiculous 10K~50k!!

One approach would be to hire employees, train them, given them the facilities they need to do deals, and let them do the deals.

You are in the Philadelphia area, so I suggest you start by checking out DIG at http://digonline.org/ - membership is around $150 (they gave a spin the wheel offer at the main meeting that can give you a nice discount off of that but you then must sign up at that meeting), and every year they offer paid training (usually four sessions) for roughly $80 per session (member price); so less than $500 for training specific to the local area.

Charles is half right, I'd not spend thousands ( ok I did take Ward Hannigans Foreclosure AND Trust trainings ) on some schuckster who is not doing deals....

I am in the process of making an introductory training for military to (A) understand their VA eligibility and (B) how to optimize VA eligibility to purchase a SFR and, my favorite, multifamily properties.I am looking to create a professional network dedicated to helping and training our military to fully optimize their VA entitlement as well as get some "military serving military" help.thoughts?

I think that this gravy train has gone on long enough.

My opinion is your miles ahead of the game if you find someone to invest with that has a track record and will work with you and train you hands on.

On Sunday i completed my first REI training class and the following day went out to add a few members to my team.

Flipping burgers and having tons of student debt in training for a field you can't get hired in !
