Hello,
I've taken the Robert Allen course, it's ok. I think Carleton Sheets is better, read below:
I completely agree with wanting to invest your money. Afterall, what's the point of making money if you can't make more money with your money (got that?)? Anyway, I've tried all different investments from stocks and bonds to IRA's, 401k's, and real estate. I'm really a big fan of diversification.
However, the only investment I've really been happy with so far is real estate. Over the past 5 years, I've bought 3 different properties (all have tenants, and I'm making more than the mortgage payments on 2 properties).
The 3rd property I got was using Carleton Sheets no money down methodology (he's a GURU in real estate, and yes, his methods do work!). You can actually buy a property for absolutely nothing down (NO MONEY FROM YOUR OWN POCKET). I payed over $500 for his course 3 years ago, and I just saw it online for $9.95!!!! This is a steal at $9.95 (I'm actually going to buy it for my friends for Christmas). It was featured on TV, so I got the website from there.
Before you invest in anything, I highly suggest the Carleton sheets course. http://www.alllsite.info/real-estate.php

What is the different between reading his book or taking the course?
The book only cost $20. His course cost several hundred dollars. One interest thing you should know is that, Robert Allen declared bankruptcy one time. You can find that out on your search engine.
Buying real estate with nothing down is not impossible, but it is very hard to find one.
I suggest you get more information about the course. Ask them how many students really can make money after finishing the course.

The course tells you how to buy real estate with no money down? Real estate is a depressed market right now, not a sure investment. I believe the only one the is making money from this course is Robert Allen. Don't be suckered in.

a girlfriend of mine did it...to sum it up..
No MONEY DOWN = good credit
NO CREDIT NEEDED= good money...
So,she just went to regular real estate coarse, i too am now a real estate Realtor, tough work, you pay about depending where you live, i live in Seattle, i pay $2400.00 office lease a year, you license is $148.00 every two years, but most of money that is spent goes to self advertisement, that will cost you about $5000.00 a year, those include,,, your for sale sign,airmails, cards,sold signs,open house signs, side curb signs...if you really get into it, you are in a bout $10,000.00 a year, and you better get some people to let you sell their house, more or less, until you know the game, your office will give all the huge deals($1,000,000) to someone else, you will get the people that have a hard time getting credit. I don't know..it's one of the toughest jobs that I have ever done. To be honest, i see why they say, 80% of the people who try out...drop out. but you may be good at it, you never know,

Robert Allen's material is pretty good. However, I suggest you learn this for free by visiting the local book store.
