Real estate finder fee programs, are they scams?

[Jackie Flowers]

Hi everybody, 

I lucked upon this site while doing due diligence for a real estate finders fee program. No real estate experience except a condo I once purchased. I paid $5000 for a program flipping houses once. Montelongo something, but I didn't learn anything. I just got into a lot of debt. 😢 

I hope to increase my knowledge to make income and more intelligent purchase decisions in the future. 

Jack ☺
