Real Estate Investor Seminar

Have you noticed that many property investment courses have started offering a Free Real Estate Investor Seminar to try and get clients in the door? Over the past few years the financial education industry seems to have gotten a bad name. Unfortunately many investment seminars have been run by less than heroic people who have simply been looking to scam people for their money. This is very unfortunate because it alienates the general public from investing and more importantly from gaining a financial education. Nobody likes to be scammed, it makes you feel stupid and you resent the person or thing that did that to you. In order to stop this client backlash many real estate investor seminars are offering you a free ticket to see their event. Let's have a look at why they are doing this, if you should attend and if you do - which one should you attend?

By giving away free Real Estate Investor Seminars the investment companies are effectively getting rid of your risk. A common technique is to give you a free ticket to a 1,2,3 or 4 day property investment course and then offer you a package that will either continue your education or help you with the hands on task of buying an investment property. So what should we make of these Free Real Estate Investor Seminars? Should we steer clear of them or should we take advantage of the free information that is on offer?

First of all lets look at the most common question that I get asked about buying your first investment property. "Can you tell me how to become a real estate investor and teach me all the special tricks that I need to know"? If you look at this question it has basically answered my own question about whether or not we should attend these Free Investment seminars. People want to gain the right knowledge so that they can become successful real estate investors and the best and quickest way to do that is to learn form somebody who has already achieved the results that you are looking for. So Yes, I definitely think that everybody should take advantage of the great free real estate investing seminars that are out there at the moment. What better way to learn that to immerse yourself into a weekend of pure Real Estate. Now of course not all Real Estate Investor Seminars will be great but the best thing about them being free is that you can leave at any time and it won't have cost you a penny.

So Which Real Estate Investor Seminars should you attend? There are probably some of you out there that are saying "What free real estate investing seminars - I don't see any"? Well you simply aren't looking hard enough. There are plenty of websites that are dedicated solely to free investment resources. Now if you are lucky enough to find a few Real Estate Investor Seminars that are being run in your state then how do you choose which one to go to? My personal advice would be to go with your gut feeling, it's normally right. Most importantly just make sure you actually go! The worst thing that could happen is you waste a morning of your life - Whereas on the positive side you might learn that one bit of information that you needed to give you the confidence to become a successful real estate investor.
