Newbie wondering: Does anybody really answer questions?

I've been doing research for a while now, and there is some awesome info out there. Alot of the advice is "Do the deal". 

Step by step guides are all the same: Find property, make offer, get contract, find buyer, close.

If someone needs specifics, that'll be $20,000+ with no guarantee of success. 

I'm all for splitting a deal with a mentor, or even working for free for a while to learn, but no one seems to see the dichotomy.

Create a business with no money, no credit, etc. Buy my program for $xxxx.xx and find out how. 

I'm not creating a business with no money, I'm buying a very expensive franchise. 

So, Finding property, not too hard. Make an offer, use Zillow/ don't use Zillow for info. Get contract, guess what that means. Find buyer, talk to anyone, anywhere/ don't talk to just anyone. Close with cash/hard money/CC/IRA.

Seriously. I paid for the "seminar". Everyone says the last guy I talked to is a crook. A lot of experts with nothing to say. 

Anyone else see this?
