Real estate investing has now become a cultural buzzword. Entrepreneurs know that real estate can generate extraordinary profits. But an unfortunate dilemma has erupted for those evaluating the real estate investing profession. Self-appointed real estate investing coaches take the stage with a few "deals" under their belt, teaching everything from flipping to foreclosures. However, a few lucky "deals" don't qualify for guru status. Writing a real estate investing book is not a credential that replaces experience. Real estate investing coaches and mentors require expertise, experience and teaching capability.

Real estate investing is a profession and a business. Real estate investing coaches are often inexperienced at teaching and investing. "Kids" still green as gourds and incapable of even buying their own home are often tossed a script to mentor a teleconference class. The best training in real estate investing comes from a caring, dedicated coach with experienced expertise who mentors while watching over the shoulder.

Confusing chaos has resulted from this dilemma in recognizing valid expertise. The wanna-be investor buys that first house, failing to understand comp research, and can't sell it. The beginning investor, anxious to succeed, buys too much too soon, and his properties wind up in foreclosure. The penny-pinching investor, who can't recognize experience and resents paying for investing education, decides to go it alone after attending a few free real estate investing seminars and watching some TV infomercials, and loses all savings from poor decisions.

The first step in pursuing the real estate investing profession is evaluating aptitude, interest, and career commitment.
