Real estate finder fee programs, are they scams?
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 ☺

I understand where you're coming from Jackie. Most if not all of what those programs teach you, you can find on here for free. Keep at it and don't give up. That is the most important thing.
