The Carleton (often misspelled "Carlton") Sheets program is marketed and sold by American Marketing Systems Inc., under the guise of the "Professional Education Institute". This is important because in this case, to be fair, the product should be judged separately from the company that markets it. American Marketing Systems Inc. (Carleton Sheets) gets hundreds of complaints per year at the Better Business Bureau. A good company does not let that many dissatisfied customers get as far as a consumer protection agency - a good company would resolve issues before getting that far. Not good. We would not say the Carleton Sheets' program is a scam as are many others, but it is incredibly basic - much too basic to be of much use to someone just staring out. We suspect it is intended to be vague so that one of their expensive ($2,000-$5,000) mentors is required. In all fairness, some people have done very well with the Sheets' program, as long as they buy into the expensive mentoring. (NOTE: Of all the real estate courses reviewed, only "The Simple Man's Guide to Real Estate" provides FREE mentoring to all of its clients. And they are the only one whose mentors are actual, practicing investors). We have not been able to locate any user of the Carleton Sheets program who has been very successful without buying into the expensive mentoring. If you or someone you know has, please let us know (we have been waiting 11 years so far, and no one has come forward). With the exception of "The Simple Man's Guide to Real Estate"®, the mentors for most other programs, including Carleton Sheets', are not necessarily actual, experienced investors. The mentoring for most of them is "farmed out" to companies that hire scripted telephone operators that have never purchased any real estate at all. If you are dissatisfied with the Carleton Sheets program and wish to return the product, it is difficult getting a refund, and when you do get it, it can take months. This, plus multiple billings, is the basis for many of the complaints and numerous negative web pages about Carlton Sheets - and the reason we separate the product from the company. If you wish to check Carleton Sheets out with any consumer protection agency, you must look under American Marketing Systems Inc. You should also check him out more fully by visiting your favorite search engine and type in "Carleton Sheets Scam" (or click this link). If you are truly interested in really learning how to make money in real estate, yet pay under $70 and receive the benefit of free, unlimited coaching, "The Simple Man's Guide to Real Estate"®, is worth considering. Written by Bill Vaughn, the man who developed most modern "flipping" strategies in the '70's, and who originated the "reverse mortgage" in 1988 (which has since been adopted by many banks), the program is comprehensive, simple and their personal coaches are actual, practicing investors who volunteer (it's free) on a not-for-profit basis to help others. It is the only low cost program found that provides free, unlimited coaching from actual investors. And their instant download (full version) allows you to start immediately while you await your package in the mail. Of special note: IntelliBiz, publisher of "The Simple Man's Guide to Real Estate" has a good record at the BBB. This program is worth a look! Return to Guru Comparison Home Page IntelliBiz |
