Overall Experience:

I attended the "free preview" 3+ hour seminar. It was located in a nice hotel downtown. The room was packed with approximately 80-100 people. The speaker was very well trained to "sell", which I expected, but I was still interested in the information. IMO, he sold a LOT of PROMISES that they can show you, if you choose to pay more money. He MENTIONED the different ways to make money selling real estate, wholesale flipping (which is questionable in my market), fix/flip, buy hold, rentals. He MENTIONED on the slide how they fund you for the deals, and mentioned that their qualifying criteria for it did not matter about income or credit. He MENTIONED that they will show you how to set up an LLC for your business, and how to write contracts with exit clause strategies, in case your buyer backs out. He mentioned that they work with a network of investors...He also MENTIONED that in order to know ALL of this, the next step was to pay $997 today, $1147 if you need payment arrangements (this was not mentioned) with the option of your money back, via tuition reimbursement, if you close 1 deal within 6 months...I paid for the training, and then I spoke with the "speaker" personally, and asked specific questions about the training and the program (specifically investor funding requirements). I asked if there is any upselling during the training, to which he quickly said "no", then adjusted his answer and said, "well they do have 'other things' during the training, but only if you want to learn it, otherwise you don't have to". I found out later that this "other things" is a $19K-$30K additional training package to receive access to ALL the details and the real estate tools that they introduced in the seminar (outside of wholesale flipping). They also didn't mention that you were signing up for a 45-day trial of their core desktop software program that conducts property search evaluations at $25 a month. During the free trial, you can only search 3 properties. I canceled that also.

FYI, I reviewed and accessed the training material that we were provided for the 3-day training course, although I did not attend, and it was very rudimentary information. Do your due diligence and homework. I asked for and received a refund prior to my 3-day contract expiration date. For what it's worth, I am also a Trump University graduate, so fool me once...you know the saying.
