Russ Whitney has been around almost as long as Carleton Sheets. And, like Sheets, his
material is not defined enough for most people to be able to go out and apply the techniques. Again, as with Sheets,
the expensive "mentoring" is required. (NOTE: Of all the real estate
courses reviewed, only "The Simple Man's Guide to Real Estate" provides
every client with free, unlimited mentoring. And they are the only one whose mentors are
actual, practicing investors, and not simply trained telephone operators.)
Unlike Sheets, Russ Whitney seems to prefer the use of "seminars" to get you interested - then sells you "up" to his
expensive "Russ Whitney Boot Camp" training sessions. This can run into many thousands of dollars.
The Russ Whitney people tried to "strong-arm" us into removing this
page - they strongly objected to being compared with others - decide for
yourself why they would not want to be compared with
other methods (we already know). Undoubtedly, some of his clients seem to have
done well, but the cost of Russ Whitney's help is very expensive.
According to one of the Russ Whitney websites, Whitney has no
use for the Better Business Bureau. We suspect it may be due to Mr. Whitney's
rating at the BBB (The Russ Whitney group has "...an unsatisfactory record with the
Better Business Bureau due to a pattern of complaints..."). His BBB record is so poor, the BBB no longer
handles
any more complaints about him - they have washed their hands of him, so to speak.
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!
