When selecting a real estate investing course, you must ask yourself the following five questions:

1. Are they happy to provide contacts of past participants?
2. Are they providing the course content in advance so that you can take a look at what to expect?
3. Do they themselves develop properties?
4. Do they provide a full list and qualifications of the speakers?
5. How good is their money back guarantee?

Some Words of Caution Regarding Real Estate Investing Courses
Roses do not come without thorns. You should be aware of:

-If the organizers are trying to sell you some properties? Most of the times, the organizers will try to sell you something at a much high price above the market value.
-People attending these courses are generally defined as people with quite some cash to spare. They fall easy prey to greedy agents. I must admit that I was a victim once and overpaid $65,000 dollars for a property.
- Never trust blindly. You will have to do your due diligence to verify what they are saying is right.

Once you are aware of these facts, look for a course that suits you. Generally speaking, if you are disciplined enough, goes for a online or DVD based course. If not, go to live seminar ones. Look for an expert in real estate. Normally these courses would cost you about 2000 to 3000USD. Look for the course agenda in advance. Then look for internet forums, talk to someone who has attended this course before. Another great thing happens in these courses, it gives you a great potential for networking with like minded investors.
