A Guide to Real Estate Resources

Here's a list of links to real estate resources - books, courses and web-links. There are hundreds of books and real estate guru's out there trying to separate you and your money. Some real estate courses and books are a total waste of money but others can provide you with valuable information that saves you ten times the price.

Your local library is the cheapest source of information about rental property investment advice. If you use the Internet chances are someone is going to try to sell you something. It's difficult not to click on a link and become victim to the excellent marketing that takes place on many web sites. When you attend meetings of your local Real Estate Investment Club you may hear speakers whose primary purpose is to sell their course "at a huge discount". Caveat Emptor is a good piece of advice to adhere to when you are listening to these sales pitches.
