No RichDad for me!

I just finished the 3 days of "Left Brain - Right Brain" training with the RDPD folks. I was so close to "investing" in my education and signing up for the Advanced Wealth programs they offer. I applaud them for getting folks so fired up and motivated to make a change in their lives. However, my "left brain" started kicking me in the head when they came up with the "increase your credit card limit" and use that increase to fund your education with RDPD.
The major deciding factor for me not to "invest" in my RDPD education was the lack of any substantial testimonial throughout the Internet from folks who have "invested" and participated in the Advanced Wealth programs. One of the topics the coach presented was that in one year RDPD has only 300 BBB complaints. Having taught over 312,000 folks that equated to less than 1% of unhappy students. I know there were at least 10-15 folks in our seminar that signed up for the Advanced training. Why don't I see more folks posting there success on the Internet. These classes have been going on for years. I realize not everyone would do that, but I think there would be more evidence than what I've found so far that would indicate that this is worth the risk.
As many of folks have suggested I've decided to utilize resources such as BiggerPockets, and join a local REIA . It may be twice as hard doing it this way, but I'm pretty sure with the limited amount of education I did receive in the last 3 days, I'll be off to a good start. Hell, the fact that I've come this far is a good start...I look forward to the journey....

How is raising 10-20K for classes even close to 10-20K for a purchase. After a weekend class you have a book... after a deal you have a property.
