Does anyone have any feedback on this course. Its 3 days for $2500 seems like a lot. Want to make sure that I’m not wasting my money… Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks
If you have trouble with your finances, how would tossing out another $2500 help? I am afraid I know nothing about this course, but I can give you some good suggestions that are would be very good for you and and much, much cheaper.
Read books by Dave Ramsey. He is great about getting out from under the burden of consumer debt. He also preaches investing with cash only and no leverage, but hey, nobody is perfect. 
I listen to a Money program on a local Christian Radio station that is good too. It is called Money Matters. Larry Burkett was who started the program and he has some books out that will help you.
Bottom line. Make a budget ( the books will guide you ). Be disciplined about spending less than you make, preferrably a lot less. If you are tough enough to do without the house, or extra cars, or eating out, or whatever for a time, then the snowball starts to grow and you can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Best wishes for you,

egooke,
I would not do it. What do they offer that costs so much? If you need a financial makeover starting with $2500.00 less is not the way to go.

Thanks for the replies…this is not a course on finance…even know it looks that way from the name…its all about short sales on pre foreclosures. From marketing, negotiating, Land trust, Loss mitigation, banks, through to exit stratagies??? Thanks Again
Ah, i see. You would be learning to “coach” others that need a short sale. I have no experience in that case, but there are many on here that do short sales and may be able to help.

Hey,
They have a 6 CD Q&A set that they send out for free that you should listen to. I’m about half way through and am impressed on the amount of the information they are giving. $2500 sounds like a lot (heck, it is a lot) but all it takes is one deal. If their coaching is as good as they say it is and is as good as what I am gleaning from the CD’s it is probably a good deal. How much personal coaching time comes with the seminar?
Peace,
Richard
Have the disks they are great…that is the reason that I’m comsidering dishing out the $2500 for the 3 day class. I’m new to this and feel I need a solid foundation to get me off and running… Thanks for everyones posts.
OK-- that’s my deleted post. I didn’t catch the post in the middle that explained what it’s about.
It’s definitely something worth learning. I’ve learned short sales can be very lucrative.
I’d be semi-cautious about how you go about “coaching” people in pre-foreclosure. IL investors are still smarting from SB2349, and there’s likely a lot more dangerous legislation out there to come.
Been to an FHC event. Good for learning the basics of the short sale process. The rig at then end is signing up for coaching for a wopping $20K. rhm76384 is right though, if you’re serious about doing short sales and really making the system work then you will make the $2500 back in one deal. If you make it work well, you’ll even get the $20K coaching fee back. Keep in mind while everyone thinks this is the answer to all their financial troubles and an easy way to get rich quick, it takes A LOT of time and a big commitment on your part to actually make the stuff they teach work. Their system obviously works, but YOU have to make it work.
I am all for education. I’ve spend a good deal on it every year myself. I really don’t care what they’re teaching-- I would NEVER pay $20K to learn techniques with a bunch of newbies (Absolutely no offense to newbies intended-- that’s not my point).
NOR would I recommend a newbie spend $20K to learn short sales-- or any other technique.
I might pay $20K (or more) to join a mastermind of seasoned investors where the goal was to help one another get to the next level. Point being at the $10K and up price points, I expect higher level networking and JV / Partner opportunities.
I still can’t understand why people are so willing to pay oodles of money just to have the information sitting in front of them. How hard is it to do your own research in this day and age of the internet? A whole bunch of people are either very lazy, not too smart, or just don’t have the motivation and drive to learn it on their own. Funny thing, the ones sitting on their backsides reading guru material are usually not the ones who will make any money in this industry. Of course it makes them feel good to sit in a class and be part of a group. That’s what the dog-and-pony show gurus count on.

'zactly. I will say that spending money is sometimes a good motivator. Anyone ever pay for golf lessons? It’s hard not to work on your game when you’re PAYING for the lesson. Of COURSE you could get the same advice from Golf Digest at the public library-- but getting some skin in the game can be an inertia breaker.
I wouldn’t waste your money or time. They make promisses and say they are honest and ethical but they are not. I know several people that went to the training to only find out they have to spend another $ 20,000.00 to get help and advice with a coaching program they have. If many of these so called gurus started with nothing and figured it out… why can’t you. Why don’t some of those people out there that are making willing to help people like you and me. I’m trying to get started and find it very hard. Courses are nice… most are vague and give no direction or are taped in a live training and the instructor get’s side tracked. I guess the best way is jump in and then go to a forum like this and list the problem to get help. HONESTLY SAVE YOUR MONEY… I’ve seen them kick people out of there training for no reason. Not worth it.

HONESTLY SAVE YOUR MONEY… I’ve seen them kick people out of there training for no reason. Not worth it. They seem to talk a double talk, yes they are educated and have the knowlege. But when one spends $ 2,000.00 or more for a course or 3 day training it is my feeling there should be support. If buying something to learn from is the way then why do we have universities. Why not just learn it on your own. I’m for training and education. But soaking people is wrong. ALL THESE GURU’S need to be investigated to make sure what they say works. I feel these gurus are making more money off me and you. Hope this helps… one more thought. If you spent $ 2,000.00 at a tech school on books, tapes, etc… wouldn’t you hope there is a class to support that information. YES… point being I feel the gurus should do the same. If they are so flithy RICH as they claim to be then what’s wrong with providing a support…
