Scott Yancey Seminar
I attended the Scott Yancey seminar this past weekend and want to know anyone's input on whether or not these strategies work? Is the $37000 of training worth it?

If you want to spend 40k on training, I have a course for you. Talk to 10 agents in your area, then pick 1 or 2 that you feel good about. Find a 100k house that needs cosmetic rehab. Put 25k down on it, and spend the other 15k sparkling it up. Put it up for sale (or rent) and see what happens. Even if you break even doing this, you will have learned more usable skills than you would at the seminar and still have that 37k in your pocket to try again.
