Signing up with Renatus

So, I've already signed up with Renatus. I am interested in getting into real estate, but didn't purchase the education yet. Had anyone ever made a decent income through the IMA system? I do want to eventually buy the education but wanted to see about the best way earning income through the IMA program to be able to stay home and then focus on the full time real estate side.

I am embarrassed to admit it, but I tried to make it work. I enrolled as an IMA also. I guess I fell for their ridiculous claims of how much money you can make. You know, The Compensation Plan. I knew it was a multilevel marketing scheme and tried it anyway. Renatus members who post here claim it’s not. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s a MLM. I spent my hard earned money on the education and I wish I had that money back. The education is definitely not worth the money. I could not even finish the classes they were so boring. I hung with it for a while and put over a thousand people through Scott’s series of webinars. I never made any money. I did not know any other IMA’s making money either. I probably made a few other people in the MLM some money. That’s part of the plan: You giving up your first few sales to your mentor. You have heard it before, filling your bucket and all that crap. My advice to you, as an experienced past Renatus member, is to quit wasting your time with such a group. I wish I had my time and money back. I’ve found success by networking with my local real estate clubs and utilizing online resources. An income stream from this MLM is like finding a rainbow unicorn. You don’t have to spend thousands to educate yourself.

I completely appreciate this! Like you see all the extreme success stories that promise 60,000/mo, but I wanted feedback from a real person.

I can't speak about the IMA marketing yet but I bought the education (AIT Essentials, $2000) and even though I already have two rental properties (7 units, 2 Airbnbs), I've already learned so much from some of the videos I've watched so far.
