How to Invest Smarter and Learn Real Estate Investing for Free
By Christopher Levarek
The more you read, the more things you will know, the more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.
- Dr. Seuss
Investing in real estate can be intimidating and hold unknown risks or possibilities. The unknown of what could or might happen can stop any active or passive investor before even the first step has been taken on the investing journey. Many turn to financial advisers on Wall Street who are termed “experts” in the field to manage their finances and feel better security in this knowledge, even though these experts are handling millions of people’s financial plans and rarely adequately dive into the finances of one single person.
But wait, there is a solution! We are truly fortunate today in many countries around the world to be in the golden age of free content. With technology at our fingertips, anyone can pick a topic and be presented with hours of reading material, audio and visual for a grand total of $0 to the bank account. This is how so many people are able to conquer DIY(Do It Yourself) projects at Home and not set the house on fire, flood the bathroom or get electrocuted (all you Dad’s out there).
