Answers to your questions concerning short sales/probate.

  1. Yes, it’s possible
  2. There is ALWAYS someone doing them in your area. Have you visited any of the local area real estate investors clubs/associations?
  3. As with any business, REI can be very lucrative or very costly. It mainly depends on the owner’s drive/desire and their ability to run a business.
  4. You ALWAYS need money in REI and especially when dealing with short sales and probate property. It just doesn’t always have to be YOUR money.

Answer to courses:

I’d suggest that you read all the FREE info that you can on the subject before trying to buy any courses. There is a ton of info here on reiclub.com, over the internet and in the local library. If you haven’t yet visited/joined your local REIA, then I’d sugget that you also do that as you’ll more than likely meet a local investor or two that is doing that. They may even be willing to train you in the process, either for a fee or possibly using you as a birddog. Only after you’ve gotten a grasp of the basics of short sales/probate (or whatever else you’re interested in) should you start looking into purchasing a course on the subject.

Hope it helps,

Roger

Thank you for your feedback. I do have somewhat of an understanding of the process because I have read the articles on this siteas well as various free information on other sites. I took a chance on the course this weekend and I feel like it will help take me to the next level. I’m ready to take what I have learned and start applying it. This is such a great forum. I look forward to contributing to the threads as I get more experience.

Steve cooks course is wholesaling not Short sales!!
