Pro Formas and Expensive Real Estate Courses
It's no secret that both of these things are a waste of time and money. Or actually is it a secret? I've been in this BP community long enough now that I feel like it's no secret. Perhaps I'm just too used to living and learning within this enlightened BP "tribe." I wonder if it is still a secret to the rest of the prospective real estate world? Also I wonder what percentage of the entire real estate world is now apart of this community? 10%? 20%? 1%? less?
