So I went to a “Free“ Real Estate Seminar

A friend and myself saw an ad on Facebook for a free seminar and we thought “what the hell”. Neither of us have been to one of these before so we figured what’s the worst thing to happen?

Well everything that I’ve read online about these “free” seminars is unfortunately true. It seemed to be filled with people who wanted a “get rich quick” scheme and people who had nothing better to do. There was even some people sleeping! 

The first 10 minutes were spent talking about reverse wholesaling and leaving out important parts of the actual activity. The remaining hour and fifty minutes were spent talking about a 3 day seminar that costs $500 but if you sign up today it’s only $197! We also weren’t able to have our cell phones out due to “disclosure agreements” 

The whole thing felt like a waste of time and a scheme. Now that was my first event and I don’t know if they are all like that, but I feel bad for those who feed into this stuff. 

I’ve learned more in 5 minutes on here (for free) than I would at a 3 day seminar trying to sell me a $5,000 package.

Okay rant over lol.
