Jason Hartman- Platinum Properties

[Kellis Landrum]

I ran across Jason Hartman's website/podcast and am intrigued. Is there anyone here who's bought properties from his company that could share their positive or negative experience with me?

For what it's worth, everyone on BP seem to have a good opinion of Chris Clothier's company as well. I'm also considering that as an option.

Just for background info about why I'm interested in turn key rentals- 

I have not bought real estate before (I live in Los Angeles, crazy expensive), but I like the concept of buying and holding rentals much better than stocks, bonds, or mutual funds. Since I have no experience buying or managing property, this turn key option seems like it might be a good way to learn without necessarily having to jump into the deep end. It looks like many of you Real Estate Professionals like to buy distressed properties to rehab and flip or rent, but that might be a bit of a stretch for my first purchase. 

As a side note: I'm interested in the Atlanta market. Lots of film and TV production has moved from LA to ATL, so I now have several friends who've moved out there. I'd like to do some due diligence on houses, and since I have a few places to stay this seems like a good location to start.

@Ray Douglas  me thinks your PIP group by chance with a well document squabble with Mr. Hartman.. 

Anyone who does the volume Jason does is going to have a bunch of these minor claims for EM or property management claims..  this is just part of being in the business for decades and doing thousands of transactions you simply are not going to please everyone.. NO one myself included gets to run through a High Volume real estate career without some legal actions .. bottom line.. one would be totally naïve to think otherwise.. 

I have not look at PIP's track record but there is google things that say PIP scam.. not sure what that is what I heard is they sell a bunch of tax certs that end of being worthless again just what I heard on BP.. not making accusations so please don't sue me for slander.. its just what I heard.. 

Now you really want to see something bad just follow the Morris invest threads now there is something to dig into were real life small time investors have really been burned and lost lifesavings according to posts on BP. 

But obviously you guys need to take this outside and duke it out I don't think BP is a great place to have your public fight.. its unseemly frankly.. !!   Plus I don't see anything I anything that you posted that was directly related to you..  Also the BP audience is pretty sharp on first time posters Blasting people ... so you have that to..   anyway just my 2 cents.. and Boy I Love my Tesla. !!!
