The Best Way to Learn Real Estate Investing in DC, Maryland (MD), Virginia (VA), and Dallas, Texas

A lot of people wonder why their dreams of becoming
a successful Real Estate Investor aren't quite coming
true. I can probably conjure up many theories of WHY,
but there is a major misconception when it comes to
effective vs. ineffective learning environments.

It is no SECRET that a student will learn more in a
one-on-one environment than in any other circumstance.
It may not be as glamorous, commercial, or even fun; however,
what is the goal? The goal of any learning environment is
to learn. A lot of students are LOST in their efforts
to simply understand basic concepts of real estate
investing. Why do you ask? The class size is too large.
It is very difficult for ANY teacher to satisfy the learning
pace of 100 different students.

A quick example: When searching for a High School for your
son or daughter, one of the first questions you will ask a school
is: what is your class size? The reason you ask the class size is
because you are aware that your child will learn more and will be
more equipped with information if there are only 15 or 20 other
students. So why do you think you are any different than your
child? Think about a Business Law class with 75 other kids
confused about how to understand the differences of
cross-border accounting, and how those differences can impact
cross-border post-transaction M&A disputes. Exactly. The law
of averages says many of those students will not learn and will
eventually fail or drop out of the course.

So if I am explaining the proper way to purchase a property
using a land trust and an installment land contract, subject to
existing financing; there is a chance you may become extremely
frustrated if your questions aren't addressed because there are
too many other students. This is exactly why you see people get
started in Real Estate Investing and then decide that it may not
be for them simply because they didn't learn.

From experience, students who learn in a modest capacity with
small class sizes or better yet one-on-one, have a significantly
better chance of being successful as Real Estate Investors.

Blessings to Your Real Estate Investing Successes,
