Ron LeGrand appears to be very similar to Carlton Sheets in his method of teaching a “No money down” real estate technique with the goal of making solid income.  LeGrand is a real estate guru and has three books that he sells for about $600 a pop.  He often offers a buy two get one free deal, thereby saving you $600. 

The question everyone is probably dying to ask is “Are the books really worth the $600?” 

Seriously, the prices real estate gurus affix to their materials makes me laugh.  The course by Carlton Sheets is just as good as LeGrand’s and you can get it for less than $200.  The LeGrand course is good stuff, but you shouldn’t have to pay so much for the same thing that Carlton Sheets, who has well over 20 years of experience in the same industry, can provide.  If you perused my review of Carlton Sheets, then you may understand that I don’t like real estate as a business, but if I were to really get into it I would recommend Sheets’ course over LeGrand’s course.   

LeGrand’s books can be separated into three categories.  The books cover “For sale by owner transactions,” lease/option and retail and wholesale.  I would warn you that these books are quite thin by my opinion, especially if you are paying $600 per book.  I would want a really big book for the price that I’m putting out. 

LeGrand believes that his books are like a “Business in a Box.”  I think that he feels that any of his books could make good income.   If I paid for all three of his books I would want to at least be able to sit in his seminars for free and be able to talk to him for about an hour. 

He teaches that people can make lots of money off of real estate, but the truth behind it is that it takes a months and even years before significant sums of money comes in. But if you should have a lot of extra money around and you want to learn from all the big people in real estate, then LeGrand’s books would be a good asset to you collection, but first start with Carlton Sheets’ stuff first to see your commitment level.  This is a tough business and don’t kid yourself that it will be an easy walk in the park.  

If real estate is your passion and something that you want to make a living on, then I recommend LeGrand.   But try looking into something easier to make money with.  There are other, better business opportunities with “no money down” real estate type things.
