Before you invest in ANY
Real Estate program...
We're not going to tell you that you will be a
millionaire in 6 months. After
all, we don't know you, or how determined you are. And we're sure you are
smart enough to know that such hype is bogus, anyway. But regardless...
Understand some very important points: 1) Real
Estate investing is NOT a "get-rich-quick" scheme. It takes time
and effort. Those "couch investors" that spend many hours each day in real
estate chat rooms obviously are not out there investing. 2) Real
Estate investing is not for everyone. Success in this field, as with any
other, requires effort, and can be frustrating at times, and can take
an emotional toll. But the rewards are freedom, wealth,
a 4 hour work-week... 3) If the program you are
considering does not provide personal mentoring by
actual practicing investors at a reasonable cost (or free, as
offered by The Simple Man's Guide),
it is unlikely you will ever get your investing career off the ground. There
are just too many variables in this business, which makes it impossible for
any program to be a "stand-alone" career guide. Without a mentor to help you
get started, these variables will stand as a barrier between you and success.
Any "guru" who charges more than $200 per transaction for mentoring is just
plain ripping people off. Again, our mentoring is always free, lasts a
lifetime and our mentors are practicing investors, not telephone operators or
"couch investors".
NOTE: Many of the infomercial gurus do not provide in-house mentoring by
qualified investors. Instead, most of them "farm out" the mentoring to disreputable companies
such as PMG, PMI, Mentoring of Utah etc. Before buying into a mentor program, you would be wise
to ask the company EXACTLY who provides the mentoring. Ask if the mentoring is provided in-house, or if it is provided by a third party.
