Fortune builders, thoughts?
Hello, I’m a wholesaler in Atlanta, Ga. I want to finally start on my first rehab/flip. I joined the 3 day seminar at fortune builders to get more educated. After the 3 days, they tried to persuade me to join the mastery program for 25K! I’m not looking to spend 25K on some guru. I prefer to invest the money on my first flip but I don’t have knowledge on how to do a first flip. I would like to network and gain experience in Georgia. If any mentor or anyone who did the mastery program have any advice, that would be very helpful, thanks.

They’re certainly good at building a fortune, just likely not one for you. These hgtv star guru type schemes are all the same. The real estate equivalent of putting a bikini in a beer commercial. Take the $20k you’d be investing in the program and pay yourself $40/hr to read and research pertinent topics here and elsewhere online... far better investment.
