The name of your business is Diablo Funding Group. I’m certainly in the minority I’m sure but, when I see business names I always wonder what they were thinking when they came up with them.
To me sports teams or the like are ok with ‘mean’ names but I prefer to name businesses with names that evoke pleasent thoughts.
((This is not meant to be a criticism, it’s more of a not so silent observation / rambling))
Well since I stated in my original post that it was not meant as a criticism, I don’t feel the need to apologize.
And since I wrote that it was a silent observation / rambling - I think it’s fairly clear at that point that I was indeed bored.
I think it’s a fair question to bring up - The question being ‘what criteria do you use to name a business and/or what do business names generate in terms of response’.
To stay on subject. I have not heard of the program you are reffering to, but…I feel that no one should pay 6000.00 for advice that you could get here or by using the funds to puchase your first prop. You will gain all the knowlegde you need by actually doing the project. You will find a wealth of knowlegde here from some of the seasoned investors.
This site has reviews of a lot of the real estate seminars out there. It has several reviews of his course, although, note that many of them come from people who have never actually attended his training.
Somebody once said, “If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.” This is rhetorical, but, how many of the people who would never pay a few thousand dollars for a real estate course have ever made more than a million dollars in real estate in one year? People pay tens of thousands of dollars a year to attend colleges so they can go out and get jobs that will pay them less than what a single real estate deal can net you. There are always other options, like making mistakes for yourself, which you will do no matter how many seminars you attend, but why not catch a few lessons from other people’s mistakes as well??? Most of the millionaire investors I know attend more than one of these types of training a year. Also, pay attention to who you take advice from and where they earn most of their income… Finally, it all boils down to ROI. What can you make with your $6k if you invest it in this, vs. investing it in something else? Whatever returns the highest yield is your best choice.
Good advice from Mike. I would only add that I’d probably be more inclined to attend a bootcamp directed at something less risky than higher end properties.
Remember that higher end properties take more to get into, typically, take more to rehab if necessary (higher end requires excellent quality if you’re to get that ROI) and when the market turns downward, which has already begun, higher end cools first, faster and is the last to recover at the other end.
And lastly, there’s nothing really about the mechanics of higher end that’s different from other real estate deals.
Just wondering if you could simply apply techniques that would get you a $100K house for $75K into a $600K house that you could pick up for $450K. It seems that where I live, folks are being foreclosed on $100K homes and 1/2 mil. homes. Buy a $600K home for $450K and do a quick flip.
