Important notes about online learning:
Online learning is an effective way to gain the knowledge needed to succeed in real estate. However, the online program’s quality will determine your success. Please do your research and beware of other online providers that offer generic material that they purchase and resell with no ability to support you after your purchase. Don’t be fooled into thinking that these companies are going to give you more for less. Enroll with Gold Coast Schools, where “The Proof is in the Passing.”
