Than Merrill legit or scam?

[Raffaello Cervera]

I saw a commercial about real estate investing on tv today his name was Than Merril he was advertising his real estate course,he was saying things like you don't need any credit or no money down. Has anyone heard anything about him, is he a scammer or is he legit? I'm petty skeptical about this but I wanted to hear what you guys thought about him, have any of you taken his course? Or heard anything positive about him? Thanks and happy holidays!

@Raffaello Cervera - you should try Googling him.  He was on a flipping show on HGTV about 10 years ago and rode that fame to a Guru program.  What was being advertised is a typical Guru pitch.  They give you free tickets to the first meeting.  Then they spend that meeting pitching you about the second meeting which might cost a few hundred dollars.  If you shell out the few hundred dollars, you get to go to the second meeting where they spend the whole time pitching the third meeting.  Third meeting will be anywhere from $10K to $50K.

If you have $50K to shell out on that junk, then you might as well jump in and give it a shot at whatever it is you want to learn.  Even if you lose all your money, you'll most likely have learned a lot more than had you given it to a "Guru".
