Have you ever wondered if some of these speakers actually do what they teach? See, here's the fact about real estate investing. It's one of the hottest topics on the internet today. There are millions of people searching all over the internet looking for the latest ways to do real estate deals. And as a result, magically there are now all of these 'self proclaimed gurus' on real estate topics, when in actuality there are probably only a handful that have done deals on a regular basis. So, why are there so many to pretend to know it all on real estate investing? These guys see that it is a hot market with large groups of people that is easily reached. So, they will go buy several books on real estate topics and then will summarize what they've read into their own book. And sometimes, they don't even write the book. Instead they write a check to have the book "ghost written". Look, there are several freelance writing websites that you can have someone write a book for you for a little bit of nothing. Do you remember doing this same procedure when you were in high school? Let me see, I believe these were called book reports? Right? If you've ever read any of the Rich Dad books, Think and Grow Rich, or any other good sound business books, then they will tell you the secret to succeeding in any field is a result of modeling. In other words, you find someone that is where you want to be and model what they are doing. Study those that have the experience. Otherwise, you can easily be led to astray chasing a "pipe dream" from someone that knows just enought to get you into trouble. http://realestateinvs.blogspot.com/#
