Recently I was blessed to attend a real estate investment seminar, Real Wealth Investor Expo with Scott Whaley.  I highly recommend that ALL serious real estate agents attend investment seminars to educate yourselves.  You (hopefully) have clients who are real estate investors, and you should learn their techniques and tools of the trade.  So you know what they're talking about and can relate to them.  And serve them better by knowing how their industry works.

Scott Whaley at http://www.realwealthinvestor.com/ hosts an annual expo and brings in the best of the BEST speakers:

• Robyn Thompson, "Queen of Property Rehab"
• Bruce Norris, highly respected real estate investor and trainer
• Alan Cowgill, top advisor on private funding
• Kaaren Hall, Entrust, experts on self-directed IRAs
• Jeff Adams, REO wholesaler on auto-pilot
• Kurt DeMeire, County Records Research with foreclosure lists updated daily
• Bob Diamond, leader in his field of Loan Mods (done the right way)
• Reed Blake, a funding pipeline
• Lee Phillips, asset protection expert
• Dr. Albert Lowry, a world-renowned wealth mentor
• Bill Gatten, trusts and land contracts

Many of these experts have shared the stage with Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki.  They are highly-sought-after as TOP experts and trainers in their field; and I feel honored to be able to learn from each of them.

Robyn taught non-stop for nearly 8 hours and I learned so much about buying fixer-upper properties and the types of cosmetic work to be done.  Also how to hire a good contractor.

Kaaren opened my eyes to the idea of a self-directed IRAs and its benefits.  So many financial tricks of the trade that I didn't know...

And Kurt DeMeire showed exactly how to find foreclosures, in various stages (NOD, NOTS, Auction, REO), with fresh data delivery every day.  An even better system than our MLS.

BTW, if you think that get-rich-quick schemes are full of bologna, then I agree with you.  And these courses definitely do not offer anything shady or lead you to believe that you can get rich overnight. 

As we know, anything successful happens over a period of time, through hard work, education & training, and persistent action.

P.S. Check back later as I'm going to provide links to the speakers above!
