Its good to be skeptical. There are plenty of books at your local public library or bookstore with the same information that you would find in these infomercial courses. In the sales pitch they work very hard to have you believe that thier information is exclusive or that they know some special secret that the rest of the modern civilized world does not know about. But once you get a hold of the home study course, you will find that there is nothing special or enlighting about the course that you otherwise would have read or heard elsewhere.
If you want to be a real estate investor its best to learn how to become a realtor so that you can know the laws and the ins and outs of the industry before you make mistakes that cost you money.

There are some key things to know about investing in real estate. My interests are primarily in rentals. A good book to read would be "Millionaire Real Estate Invesotr" by Gary Keller. Or Real Estate Riches by Dolf De Roos. Books are cheap enough and you can get different points of view. Truth is real estate is flexible and allows you to be creative in how you structure deals, and as long as both parties agree and your deal doesn't violate the law your good to go. Hope this helps

You're reading I'm skeptical of the home study courses featured on infomercials. Are they worthwhile? If not, are there any books that will help a beginner get started in real estate investing?

I suspect there's more money to made selling the course than working the "secret".
