Learn from Commercial Property Seminars

Commercial property seminars are a great way to learn about the industry or brush up on specific aspects where you're knowledge may be lacking. They run the gambit from introductory to ultra technical and advanced. Picking the right commercial real estate seminars, making the most out of them and what you do with the information after you leave can mean the difference between turning a profit and having a property bleed you dry.

Make sure you know the basics so you can assess the information being thrown at you. Yes, this may require some actual reading on your part and you may even have to visit an actual brick and mortar bookstore. Unfortunately, there are lots of so called experts and gurus out there who have figured out its easier to slap together an investing course or seminar that it is to actually invest. They put on sham commercial real estate seminars that are nothing more than fronts fro their expensive and pretty useless "get rich quick" systems.

Since you have done the basic research and refuse to be seduced by pictures of big checks, fast cars and mansions you're not going to fall prey to this old game. An important step in your property investment career is to join a local investment club so you can bounce ideas off other investors, learn from their mistakes and get the skinny on seminars they have or haven't gone to.

Once you have learned to ferret out the good commercial real estate seminars make sure to maximize your time there. Yes, it may be a couple days away from your kids or very demanding cat but you need to squeeze it for all it's worth. You're probably paying for these commercial real estate seminars so maximize that return like a good investor and attend all of the discussions, participate in the workshops, network with other investors and professionals and pass out those cards.
