There are hundreds of seminars, books, videos and cable television programs devoted to ways of getting rich quick in real es tate. Although it’s no secret that many people have done very well in buying and selling real estate, the vast majority have worked very hard at it, had to endure some hardships along the way, and did not make a 8 Y K E ! lot of money overnight. Most of the headline-grab bing gimmicks don’t really work, or work in such rare in stances that you could chase them for years before making a dime. The surest way to make money in real estate is to start by buying your own home and then making sound investments in other properties as your resources allow. Con sulting a real estate profes sional and getting tried and true assistance and advice is the way that the majority make money in real estate.
