George,
I was commenting on how to learn the basics of real estate law, calculations, etc. that the origional post was asking about.
You are right about creative real estate being a mistery to many licensees. Thats why I recomend that newbys take those licence courses, so they can learn BOTH sides of the business.

Help!! Anyone know about John Burley courses??? - Posted by Ray
Posted by Ray on February 18, 2001 at 11:20:43:
Hi,
I have put down $2,000.00 partial payment of $4,000.00 to attend John Burley’s Real Estate Boot Camp in April of this year before I found this site or ever heard of Carleton Sheets.
Does Anyone have any experience with John Burley or his Boot Camps??? I looked in the archieves here and it wasn’t helpful.
Also, I know absolutely nothing about real estate. I have been to several book stores to look for books on basic real estate so I can learn before I go to the seminar. So far all I have found are many books on, “How To”, but nothing on basic stuff, ie. terms, real estate math, etc…
Can anyone give me any suggestions on books or where to find them other than attend a real estate course??
Thanks,
Ray

Ray,
The least expensive way to get the basics is to take a night course in Real estate licence preperation at a community college. Take the rest of the $4,000 and buy a good fixer.
Good luck!

Licence do not prepare you - Posted by George

getting a licence do not prepare you to buy properties… as a matter of fact, most brokers that I have met do not have any idea on creative buying and selling
