Are there any good online Realtor schools, that offer financial aide? I can't afford to just pay to take the classes. There's one about an hour away from me, but I don't just have hundreds of dollars on hand to give them.

I've read most of Kiyosaki's books and found them to be sound advice rooted in reality and not in selling seminars like many of the current crop of real estate gurus. I've bought real estate with no money down long before I read Kiyosaki's books (or even Robert Allen). When I bought my first 3 unit building I was living in my car and working on commission only. Keep in mind, the real estate IS the collateral, along with your good credit. If you have no substantial income, consider finding a partner, or group of partners who do. I used to split real estate purchases with another individual who would qualify on the loan with me. I managed and maintained the property while he just supervised. Kiyosaki's advice is some of the best out there if his objectives truly appeal to you. Remember, Poor Dad was content just being just an employee and I know many people (the majority probably) who prefer that life. For that matter there is no reason you can't do it both ways, especially if you understand Kiyosaki's advice about smart money.

I would do lots of reaserch.  The internet is a wonderful tool.  Don't rely on the realtor to find your property for you.  They are not interested in getting you the best fit for you, they want a sale.  Also, hire a lawyer to go over your paperwork before you sign. Believe me, I have learned a big lesson and will never buy a home again w/out a lawyer.  Good Luck.

If you're looking for something a little different, check out\nhttp://www.prepaidlegal.com/go/danhenderson\nMy friend Brian Carruthers operates this business from his home with his wife Haley. He used to work in real estate, but he was frustrated with having no free time. Now he is in control of his schedule and is able to do what he wants, when he wants.\nI have been working at it part time for about a year now, and I can tell you that it is definitely designed for learn-as-you-go.

I think most of the no money down, subject to, and lease option stuff is crap.  Perhaps after you have gained experience you can get deals no money down.  I lived in a college town also and saw the same thing happening in my town.  Rentals were everywhere.  I got started in real estate as a birddog.  I made $500 finding leads for an investor.  $10/ per lead he didn't have to close for me to be compensated.  There are only so many investment opportunities in one market though, so now after much debate I am becoming a realtor. Then I plan on being a commercial broker and THEN an investor. It is gonna take a while. I really think that you need the money/ experience/ connections/knowledge before getting into such a heavy endeavor with such thick legal implications and even scarier liabilities/consequences. If you don't know what you are doing you can get hauled off to jail for 3rd degree felonies with that no money down garbage.  Besides that most single family homes make next to no cashflow, especially with the way interest rates are going up. HARD WORK HARD WORK HARD WORK!

You should check with the real estate commission. You might need to retake the classes if too much time passed. \n\nIf you don't have to take the classes again, buy the books from your local real estate school that they use for classes and study. I had a disk I used to take practice exams. I'm in Pa.\n\nGood luck!

There would certainly be some type of financial assistance for you, mainly to help pay for the classes. It sounds as though some type of through-the-mail or online degree would be best for you, so you can do your work whenever you have time.\n\nGood luck!

I took a CPR class at a local community college and it was very cheap.  I can't imagine trying to do that online, since in my class we had to use a dummy and learn the proper positioning on the body.  I don't see how you could really do that with an online class.

Go to your local real estate office and inquire of their classes.  Coldwell Banker or Century21 are good choices for starting your real estate career.

You can take the classes you need for your licens online or at a Jr. college. I went through allied schoos online and it was a great program. Allied is licensed by the State of California to offer the real estate appraisal school program.

I dont know what ACC is, so I will work on the assumption it is a Community College.\nI enclosed a link for you to get your license online but there are many others.\nIf this doesn't work for you, try calling your preferred real estate company (someone you want to work for) and ask them. In my state, the agencies all offer classes; days, nights and some weekends, too.\nHTH

WHERE in California are you?  Go to www.MikeRuss.org for locations.  I went to the one in Anaheim, CA to get my Life Agent license, but they also do P&C as well as Real Estate.  Good luck.

first, you can take classes online, like at:\nhttp://www.realestateexpress.com/\n\nor your local community college should have some classes. \n\nYou work soley on commision and the amount of money you make depends on you. A successful agent is people person, a social butterfly and a great problem solver. My agent who works for me does so much business because she is constantly out socializing with friends and strangers. She takes care of people who give her leads and she takes care of her clients as well.  She averages over 100k a year easy. \n\nI suggest your ultimate goal is to become a broker and keep all your commission for yourself. Also, don't think like an agent, keep your mind open to helping your clients and people. You might not make as much on a single transaction like other agents, but the referrals you get for solving problems and being understanding of other people's issues pays off more in the long run.\n\nRegards...

If you work at that school, you can probably take classes for free.  I know the schools I have worked at let full time employees and sometimes the spouses and children take classes at no charge.  Review your employee handbook or look online at your human resources page because you probably can go for free!  Isn't that great news?  Whoo-hoo, I'm jealous!
