However the ultimate responsibility lies with the student, not the teacher. Honest teachers (like Scott) do their best - and that is all we can do! :-) Scott makes an excellent point – people who take courses often do nothing with them.

And we could probably add that most of those "teachers" make more from their course than from actually being a real-estate investor! Thanks for the heads up, richard Scott,

It appears that the market has bottomed. For those that are in cash, this is a good time to get in at rock bottom prices. I appreciate your course and videos that you made available. Yes, it is sad but true that only 5% take action. This is also true in other industries. Maybe people need a helping hand as you suggest. Maybe they need a peer group that can act as a mastermind. Thanks Scott,

I know I've bought my fair share of courses. I purchased my first one about buying no money down (I'm sure you know the one) almost 20 years ago. However it wasn't until just a few years ago I jumped in with both feet and flipped my first home. I never turned back and I've been <a href="http://www.HouseFlipper1972.com"><strong>Flipping Houses</strong></a> ever since. Great site with good insight. I will grab your feed. Thanks.

No guru can guarantee success. Knowledge is just part of the equation. It also takes ingenuity, resourcefulness and guts. There are a ton of other factors, too, like, how you relate to others and how others perceive you. Can you put yourself in the trenches or do you expect to succeed by sitting in front of your computer? Absorb those pieces and parts that make sense to you. As always, the best way to learn is by doing. Courses, books and other programs offer knowledge and perhaps motivation, some accurate, some unique and some, same ole same ole.

Like the old saying goes thier are 2 types of people talkers and doers. One type talks about doing something and never does the other goes out and does it. They learn from thier mistakes and continue to improve no matter what they are doing. Great post no one is that honest when they try to sell thier investing course.

I is important to put the lessons into action. There is quite a career is just teaching course and picking up course fees. That's not really fair and a support system should be in place to help the person take action. Perhaps a forum or blog could be built so that amateurs or first timers can interact. I also think that it takes some level of courage to jump into real estate, especially with how the market has dropped. However now is the time to get in with all the many auction deals abounding.

As a golfer myself, I totally understand the analogy. Personally, I try to hold an image of Tiger's follow through in my mind when I hit the ball. Reading and observing definitely help your understanding but hitting a lot of balls is the top priority. Right on Trevor. As a golfer myself, I totally understand the analogy.

You're right on w/ the fact that people need to take action to be successful in REI and to truly learn REI. I played baseball all my life (am a golfer now that I finished college) and have used a similar comparison... you can read all of the baseball swing books in the world and be an "expert" as far as knowledge... but it's a different game when you actually DO the act. The real learning comes when you act... stumble... learn... implement... learn more... etc. Great post and keep up the good work. Cheers , - Trevor thereibrain.com Hey Scott,
