FB were at my local REIA meeting and offered this 3 day course. Im atending it now. After the first day I decided to research some and found out that this coaching they are selling is going to cost 25k. I dont want to spend that kind of money right now since Im rand new to real estate.

I want to get into and learn how to rehab houses. Im also trying to find the best ways to find private money. So I gues my question is are there any videos or books that you have read that would help me in my journey of learning the best practices for rehabbing?

So today was the last day and I got interview and the first question was are you prepared to make the investment.

I really wanted to hear what he had to say because I'm brand new . Not that I was buying just curious but I was shocked . I guess ill look elsewhere for a system... Unreal

What he meant by that is so that he doesn't waste his time - he's trying to close training purchases, not coach somebody at the back of the room.

I once walked out of one of the local REIA meetings where the "guru" presenter (hew was not associated with the fortune Builders) was at the back of the room. I wear a name badge where you can read my name clearly from a distance at these meetings. He said "Steve, aren't you 'going to take action'?" I said "I am taking action - I'm walking away!"

And sometimes that is the BEST action to take ...
