real estate coursesMost real estate courses cover the basics necessary to earn a license and not much else. You’ll know how to fill out paperwork. Function as a buyer, seller, or transaction agent. Navigate the MLS listings. Stage a property. Maybe market to clients. But there’s something missing. What the heck are you supposed to do when the kids need braces, the bills are due, and nobody is buying houses in your local market?

Ouch. Good question.

The problem with traditional real estate courses is they assume that doing real estate the way it’s always been done is the best way to continue doing it. What happens when the economy tanks, house prices nosedive 25% or more, a few million families are forced out of their homes via foreclosure, and banks toughen lending policies?

Gulp. Real estate done the old way ain’t working so great any more. That’s when you need to raise your eyes a tad and look over the horizon. So your local market sucks rotten goose eggs. It’s not the only place in the world, you know. There are other places where real estate is going gonzo. In fact, there is an entire alternative school of thought when it comes to being a real estate agent, one that flies under the radar but is quietly making thousands of people wealthy in a conservative, predictable way.

Bet you wish you knew what it was. Enroll in in one of the faceless masses of indistinguishable real estate courses if you want to continue in blissful ignorance.
