We Almost Got Scammed
My partner (@Joseph Cameron) and I recently attended a seminar about real estate investing thinking we were going to get to network with other newbies and get help from some seasoned investors. Instead we sat through a 90 minute slideshow that tried to seduce us into believing with their help and expert classes, we too, could be generating six figures a year through real estate. But only if we bought into their product and what seemed like some organized pyramid scheme. The sad part is we already knew most of what they were showing us and had already been bit by the real estate investing bug. If this was our first taste of what financial freedom through real estate investing could be, there is a very good chance we would've figured out a way to buy their coaching.
I have to give thanks to everyone at BP for teaching us what we already know and for making all of this great information readily available, free of charge. These prices they wanted to charge were absurd. It could've been the difference between making our first deal or buying their boot-camp. I think we're both annoyed and feel victimized lol. We view it as some wealthy investors trying to prey on the newbies.
Anyone else ever been to something like this and feel the same way?
Anyone else actually bought into something like this and became successful?
