Phil Pustejovsky Apprentice?

Question

Kyle Scholnick · Answer

I would agree this is not worth it. I am hesitant to call it a scam, because I am sure he gives plenty of good information and helps you get started, but having said that, he is just taking advantage of newbies. All the information you need to know can be found on this site, talking with others here, reading some books and blogs. He is just charging massive amounts to teach you the basics of real estate.

I inquired as well, went through interviews, was magically selected because I am just so darn special, and they wanted 9k dollars. They said once HIM AND I both got 250k in profits through real estate, I would get 9k refunded, and if they didn't get that profit, I would lose that money. I think there was a time limit too, we had to reach that goal within 2.5 years.

So not only am I paying 9k, they also steal half my profits when I do most of the work. Its not like they are a real partner doing half the work, they just might guide you and give you a few tips which you can find anywhere.

Def don't do it, its for newbie suckers that don't know any better. Just by being on this site you are smarter than that.

I signed up for the apprentice to see what type of interview it would be and what would happen. A friend of mine, did the same last year, she was interviewed twice but told them she doesn't have the $4k they want. A few months later, I'm not sure if she contacted them or if they go in touch with her. She bought into the EPartner program for I think $200, I'm not sure if she is pay $200 a month or not, sorry, I forgot what she said since this was a few months ago. So far she likes it because of the weekly calls (more motivation call if you ask me, which we all need at times but not for a price $$$). I asked what do they do, how do you get deals. She said they have a program to buy leads (which I have done on my own w/yellowletters, I like it but haven't worked it much due to funds). No leads/deals yet for her but she seems happy. Good for her.

As for me, I only had one interview, it was a over an hour of Caleb Jenkins talking about himself, heard my side of what I have done so far, that took probably 10 minutes. lol. But I think he was just trying to feel me out and see what/how much he could get out of me. Much luck to him, but for me I was wise enough to know BP is the BEST place for help for free and I didn't buy anything.

I just wanted to see what was their tactic, how many interviews it would take to get excepted. I asked him, so do I have to speak to Phil to get approved? He said, No, I have the authority to say yes, you are excepted. Can you come up with $4K? I said, I may be able to do $3K but not $4K, he said ok. I said, no thank you. Of course the conversation was cut short after that. I said if I could come up with the money, I'll contact you. he didn't even say thank you. All he said was, it may be filled, they currently have someone on the Big Island so Oahu is ok for now. But I wonder if they really have others here on Oahu who are in their program that they really are not saying so that you feel like you are the only one working the market with their system.

And they keep saying they have funding but I wonder how many deals people bring to them that are good deals but they turn away because of funding (but say it's not a good deal)? I'm just not sure that they will accept and fund all deals that are being brought to them. I understand that all deals are not always "good" deals or one to even proceed with but do they really fund deals so the people can start to make their money, learn and get out of the $200 a month program.

Sorry so long winded, I haven't posted in long time but wanted to share what I experienced. Thank you and Best of luck to all Investors.

You have to ask yourself a question . If Phil and his apprentices  are crushing it so great,selling and doing deals all over North America up into Canada then why does he need 4K  from a little guy who is just getting started to be accepted . youd think if he is a master teacher an expert and a big shot he would just volunteer that information because he’s getting half the profits of any deal for doing nothing

I've been in touch with a Mr. J and some of these comments coincide with my experience. We talked awhile about things unrelated to the program. We went from comm. to residential 12k to 6k respectively. You guys are great for sharing! I thank you all!

I found this page on BiggerPockets about him: Phil Pustejovsky  I don't know how much that helps though? Lots of Forum threads about him I am seeing too. I'm brand new to this website so forgive me if this reply is not all that thorough.

Search the name, extensive threads about him already. Be careful giving your money to any "mentor".
