Real Estate Gurus. Angels From Heaven or Satans from Hell

[Peter Vekselman]

I see a lot of discussion about real estate gurus on BP.  Some good stuff about them some bad.  

I have and continue to be on both sides.  I avidly invest and also teach.  I have also been exposed to both sides of gurus.  Some good and some bad.  

So from my side its just like anything else in real estate.  There are good and bad lenders, closing attorneys, contractors, realtors, investors, and even gurus.  

What do you guys think? 

What Im also curious to know is how much of the blame is to be put onto users.  For instance when I got started, my first 6 deals went sideways.  Almost all of them because of bad contractors.  As sorry as I felt about myself during those times, I guess in the end it was my unrealistic expectations that got my into the disastrous position I found myself in.

What do you think?
