Back from Flip Advantage 3day training
Just got back from Dallas Tarek and Christina El Mossa's Flip Advantage training. Good training but the $20k to $70k cost for advanced training and prop stream software was too much to me. Thoughts anyone?

Just can't rationalize the expense for this type of training from any perspective. Too much of this mentorship training is emotional and less nuts and bolts.
I am now on my 4th flip property and spent under $30 on J. Scott's book, numerous hours reading and learning on BP, talking with a local guy here in Jacksonville who had a little experience and mostly capitalizing on my own good sense and ability to think a deal through and make a decision promptly. Certainly there is a lot to learn about this business but it can be accomplished much more cost effectively than a major capital investment in such a program.
