Bigger Pockets vs Scott Yancey

[Cynthia Rathbone]

Hello I'm new to this and very excited to get started, but I want to know opinions of the best way to proceed.  I signed up for the Scott Yancey thing and attended the first 2 days of the 3 day weekend.  I soon found out that they wanted a big investment to teach me how to be an investor, but I could see they were using all the tricks in the book and lots of pressure to get people to drop 30K to attend their investment summit in Las Vegas.  Has anyone gone through this Summit and or are there any advantages in doing this?  Can I get the same guidance through Bigger Pockets?
