I’m not going to make this a positive advertisement for them. If anything, I’d like to shed a little light on what you, as a person interested in investing in real estate might want to know and how to save yourself thousands of dollars before signing up for one of their courses.
We at Team Reba had already been aware of this program, a mighty expensive program at that, which has a focus on training people to become real estate investors. Granted, I will say that if you don’t have the willpower to spend the time putting these resources together yourself – for a lot less money – you may end up having the tuition you spend be a much more expensive lesson than you planned.
Within the past year my team has been hearing about this group more and more. Seems there is a big marketing push out there right now in our Seattle and greater Puget Sound region. Be aware that if a “friend” of yours wants you to get involved and pay the fees, they’ll be making money off of you. It’s basically the Amway of real estate right now. Be wary.
Why do I have so many concerns? Don’t they teach some important concepts? Yes, they do. But, you shouldn’t have to pay thousands for their advice. There are many more cost effective ways to do this kind of thing. Also, some of the paths they discuss regarding real estate investment don’t cover local state laws and as of June 12, 2008 there are a lot more laws surrounding distressed property sales, short-sale/foreclosures, and flippers.
