I’m going to my first real estate seminar tonight. It is presented by Than Merrill. Is there anything that I should ask or listen to or do while I’m there to get me further ahead on making my first deal?

I've attended one of Than Merril's event's in the past. They use extremely effective motivational and sales tactics to sway the audience to cough up thousands of dollars for information and packets that are offered on BP for free or other more cost effective resources.  That tens of thousands of dollars that they ask for could be used as a down payment for your first deal. 

Although many investors swear against attending these seminars, I suggest taking in as much FREE information they offer as possible. The event I attended gave very high level information about the importance of real estate investing and brief, but helpful information on how to analyze deals. Than Merril's team is also extremely good at motivating to-be investors, which can be used to your benefit. 

In short, take in all the free information and be aware of their sales tactics.
