Real Estate Investments and How to Make Them

Course Outline and Study Guide

Each Module requires studying various portions of the three books included in the package, plus becoming familiar with the software programs
and checklists that will help you make sound investment decisions.   Use your workbook to take notes as you read the materials. 
After you complete the required reading, take the module exam,  Answers to each exam are in Section 4 of your workbook.
After completing all eighteen modules, take the final exam that covers the entire course.

The best part of this type of education is that you can study at your own speed.  You may complete a module in one sitting, or break up the more
involved ones, such as the property analysis software program, into more than one session. 

The important thing is to complete the course.  You will be instructed throughout the course in  easy to learn and practice programs leading
you through the purchase of your first investment property.  If you are already a real estate investor, this course will add considerable knowledge
