The American School of Real Estate is the nation’s oldest 100% online real estate license school, birthed in the mid-1990’s on the radical (at that time) proposition that students could actually learn faster and better through the efficiencies of the Internet. Although we believed strongly in the research, and had proven the thesis in countless studies, as the first school committed to 100% Internet delivery, we often had to “sell” real estate commissioners in various jurisdictions on the idea. Although we were members of ASTD, SALT, and other learning think tanks, in those early days of IBT, most states boards of professional registrations did not even have wording in their legislation to allow for online learning, let alone a system to approve it.

Thanks to visionary decisions in a few early adopting states like Missouri and Georgia, by 1996 a few jurisdictions began to write legislation to allow students to take their real estate license training courses online, and of course, we were there. It didn’t hurt that the statistics that started coming in from examination boards showed that our online students beat out the live classroom students hands down, time and time again! The press was pretty kind to us back then too.

There are several types of homes that you can choose from when you start shopping. Among the choices are: new detached homes; used detached homes; new or used condominiums; and fixer-uppers.

A detached home, new or used, will typically provide you with a yard, garage and the like. This is a fairly standard set-up in California. Choosing from new or used depends on several factors. New homes generally cost a little more to purchase, are less negotiable on purchase price, but are less expensive to maintain and are more energy efficient. Used homes generally cost a little less to purchase and you have more room to negotiate on purchase price. In addition, typically you won’t have to landscape a yard. On the other hand, upkeep is generally more expensive. You may have to tackle dying appliances, cracks in the plaster, a new roof and other issues that face a house of a certain age.

A condominium, new or used, generally faces the same issues as a new or used detached home. The difference with a condominium is that you own only the interior air space and fixtures in your living space, plus a certain percentage of common areas and property.
