As we discussed at the end of chapter one, real estate investing is not a “get
rich quick” scheme. Just as any solid home needs a strong foundation, the
same is true when it comes to your real estate education -- a solid foundation
is key to a long-lasting business.
This guide, while not exhaustive on every aspect of real estate investing, will
help develop that foundation. We put it together to be a first step in your real
estate education – and as an introduction to the possibilities that come with
real estate investment.
There are many different ways to get educated in real estate investing, and
you don\'t need to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars to learn the business. Below, you\'ll find a list of a few
sources of real estate investing education; be sure to consider each before making a final decision on how
you\'re going to move forward -- what works for one person may not work for another.

Books -- real estate booksAs the old saying goes, “Those who lead,
read.” Books are fundamental in gaining an education in real estate and
perhaps the most widespread learning method for investors. Real
estate books are produced each year by the thousands, and every
major bookstore in the world contains a whole section on real estate
investing. Chances are, if there is a way to make money from real
estate, there has been a book written about it. If reading books,
however, is not within your arsenal of skills, you are in luck.
