From what I've heard the Carlton Sheets program is really just a general overview of the different types of Real Estate investing, and never really gets specific. It's a good course for finding out exactly what you want to do. I've been looking into flipping properties recently. Where you find a house that you think is undervalued, and then put a small payment to hold the property for a week or two, and then find an investor that's willing to pay more for the house than what you agreed to buy it for. Then you either do a double close; where the house is sold to you, and then you sell it to your client for your agreed price. Or your client buys it for your price and cuts you a check for the difference in what they were willing to pay you. It's a good way to make a couple thousand dollars without paying hardly any money.

Sorry for the long post. I've been researching real estate quite a bit lately, it's actually very interesting, especially the taxes or more specifically, the lack of taxes.
