Too Many Gurus
I just want to straight forward ask why do so many RE gurus spend so much time trying to sell their material, DVDs, training courses, VIP guides, kits and so on. Every webinar ends with "buy now, only 20 spots left". They are professional salemen to the T! Statements like "this will change your life" and "sit at home and never talk to a seller, never talk a buyer, never even see the house and make 12K!" YEA RIGHT! All the deals I've done cost me my time and my effort. Was it worth it...yes but I just don't believe you can make it big in REI by sitting at home all day behind a computer. I get tons of spam and even phone calls of them trying to sucker me to buy their "state of the art software".
I guess I'm just old school but I believe in personally driving around, personally talking to owners and personally making the deal happen. This is stuff that fewer and fewer people are doing. They're getting caught up in all this REI web/internet hype.
Thanks for hearing my rant.
