Than Merrill's Free Real Estate Class

[John S Lewis]

So I saw for the first time today the beginnings of Than Merrill's infomercial.  Has anyone here on BP gone to the class just to check it out?  There's no way I'm paying anything, but I figure whatever free info I could get, couldn't be all that bad.  Plus it's a way to network with more peeps.  Any feedback appreciated. Thanks.

Many have attended and I am one.  Almost 2 yrs ago.  The free session was tempting.  It led to the special-if you sign up now- $99 3 day course for you and a friend.  The 3 day course led to some appetizers on how Than and team work without really giving any great details.  I remember counting heads - I figured 300-400  ppl paid since that was $30-40k.  Then I counted the number willing to sign up for one of the multiple levels of additional "training" available for somewhere in the range of $20 - $50k. And charging it to your credit card is encouraged. I figured up to 10 folks would gross Than & co 200k - $500k for a marketing exercise.  

I came away from it energized to learn more and found BP instead.  I haven't made the one to one mentor relationship but I have learned so much I didn't know.  And there is always someone willing to answer a question.  

As you are in NJ, i know there are several REIA's that you can tap. I've attended a few in Hasbrouck Heights. look under "network" to learn more.

I urge you to listen to BP's podcasts, view the webinars and read the blogs and books recommended by podcast guests as well as those written but BP staff and members. 

On your journey, remember there are many ways to be involved in RE.  Agent, employee, flipper, wholesaler, lender, landlord.  You have to find your sweet spot.  Take your time and enjoy the trip.
