Should you spend money on the so called Guru's.

Just to be up front. I personally have spent 40 to $50,000 on training and about ten percent was of no use, That being said, my first seminar cost me just under $500 and within two weeks I had my first deal. I used hard money at 18% and made $24,000. Don't get me wrong it was a difficult rehab with many issues. Including a supposed experienced investor I took on as a partner who caught it on fire twice. Enough said.

First there is so much information for free or almost nothing that you should take advantage of first. I could reccomend some that are in my veiw very legitimate. I won't because I don't believe BP wants that on this site.

I will say this, I have made way more than I ever spent in this business on training.

I don't care for the bashing of so called Guru's on this site but I understand. On that subject though, I will say that I have heard many people bash some of the most credable people that have helped me tremedously. Not necessarily on this site mind you.

There are reputable teachers in this business.
