Are Boot Camps and Power Courses Really Worth It?

Our company recently held a free educational seminar on real estate investing. After the seminar was over an older retired couple came up to me and asked me if what they were told in the seminar was true. I talked with them briefly and told them to call me on Monday. To make a long story short, they called me that Monday, I was able to get them approved for perm. financing and I was able to help them buy 5 investment properties, all with no money out of their pocket and in a few cases was able to put money into their pocket. I tell you this story b/c they told me that they spent over $40,000 in boot camps and seminars where they were always told if they wanted to " REALLY " learn what to do they would need to spend more money and go to another seminar. They met me, ended up buying 5 houses and didnt spend 1 cent. I think real estate education is important but you need to find people who are doing what you want to do and follow them.
