Keeping It Real Estate, Community Building The Hard Way!

Keeping it Real Estate, Community Building the Hard Way! is an 11 week course of study and support for those wanting to enter the field of real estate but it is also a road map to grassroots community development.  Keeping It Real Estate, Community Building the Hard Way! will help you understand what is needed to become a real estate sales agent (which I suggest for anyone wanting to engage in real estate because its way cheaper to become an agent, than waste time and money doing quick fix flipping seminars).  The skills you will acquire in this course will help you buy and invest in real estate even if your resources are limited. 

There is a new section in this course, that deals with creating a community savings and loan called a susu.  There are many routes to being successful in real estate, many routes to community organizing, using the susu is just one way to get all the skills and resources needed in one space.  You will learn to invest creatively and effectively and build community around you.  This course is geared toward investors who have little money or no money, those who may want to study to get their real estate license and those who just want to better the community around them.  This course examines real estate and community building from an urban perspective but all are welcome to participate.

Through a combination of video lectures, handouts, articles, conversations and assignments you will sharpen your skills in relationship to housing development.  Upon completion of this course you will have a clear understanding of basic real estate terms and the real estate market as it may affect you in the area where you live or wish to invest. You will develop a personalized plan to jumpstart your real estate career.
