I agree with @Christian Marin and @Dashon Jones. I went to the 2 day seminar and paid to attend the 3 day advance seminar. Honestly, I learned more than what I knew about REI at the time. One thing that I took away from the 3 days was implementing "Power Hour" into my daily life. So, I make sure I set aside one hour a day to listen to something positive, read something positive and/or about real estate or finance; watch You Tube videos of motivational speakers (i,e., Eric Thomas, Bloomberg Game Changers, etc.) or sermons from TD Jakes.
Honestly, you may want to attend the FREE seminar to network like someone else said, but save the $200 you would pay to attend the 3 day advance seminar to invest in your REI business unless you want a salesman calling you even after the event is over with. But doing the event they will continue to tell you how they are very selective on who they choose to work with their mentors.
