    I wish I hadn’t figured this out the hard way. I attended a free event that shared a few useful tips and offered for $300 to provide resources to actually use when finding and analyzing deals, as well as resources on how to find leads for off-market deals, etc. It was a 2 for 1 admission so a friend and I split this and paid $150 each.

    Unfortunately it has been nothing but dangling a carrot; the speaker has reviewed a handful of useful facts and tidbits but not actual education on how to use them and instead says “wouldn’t it be great if you had someone LIKE A COACH to make sure you were doing this correctly?”

    It’s a 3 day seminar to pitch to you all the reasons why you need to spend more money joining their “Elite Success Club” to get help with real estate deals. 

    While this might be something many people are interested in, I am not getting what I paid for. On top of my $150, I’m out the cost of a hotel stay and income lost while away from my existing business. I’m on day 2 of 3 and not sure if I should bother staying in hopes that I get what I came for, or if I should just leave now.
