Deciding where to get that real estate education you’ve had your eye on for a while can be a fretful experience. So many options: online, offline, correspondence. Prices that run anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. Your state government is the controlling authority over the basic license you must complete in order to legally function as a real estate agent but there’s something you should do after that.

Is a license all you need to succeed? In this ultra-competitive property market, the difference between success and failure might be dictated by having a little something extra. We’re here to suggest you consider going beyond the mandatory regulations and complete the coursework for an Accredited Income Property Investment Specialist (AIPIS) certification.

Never heard of it? That’s okay. It’s fairly new.

AIPIS is a unique real estate education created to fill a void observed by real estate investment millionaire Jason Hartman. His twenty-something years in the business offers a perspective not found by many. The problem he saw was this. The prevailing property market has made many prospective home-buyers nervous. Too nervous to pull the trigger on a new home. So they sit on the sidelines with a chunk of money, trying to figure out what to do with it.

This situation is the perfect storm for AIPIS certified real estate agents to step in and educate these people on a conservative, highly profitable method of investing that puts their money to work creating passive income. Income property investing is an incredible opportunity for those who understand how it works – and it’s not complicated.

By topping your real estate education with an AIPIS certification, you set yourself up to be on the cutting edge of the real estate industry, not trailing behind the crowd.
