I am not too sure if this is the thread to discuss this in, but I came across someone who does real estate who gave me his business card. I met this person coincidentally in a restaurant while my friend and I were talking about real estate. So I exchanged email correspondence with him, he then told me to watch this webinar by Renatus. While it was decently informative, at the end of it al,l I was told that if I paid 10K a year or so that I would get access to all this information, software, and help. There are also ways I can pay for it such as recruitment and the like. I looked at other threads and it seems mixed to me but some people pointed out that it is a scam. I then emailed the guy explaining my skepticism and he said he had my mindset but then he took the dive, became successful, won awards, and met long time friends. 

So what I am trying to ask is whether or not this program is legitimate. I do live near the NYC area so I can just pay a visit during a day where I am not busy during a weekend. 

Here is a laundry list of info about me:

• Name: Adiel Arvizu 
• Background in real estate: Parents have been landlords for years I have been trying to pick up on the trade.
• Where I am from: Jersey City, NJ
• Occupation: Full-time substitute teacher, avid biker
• Goals for real estate: Just download this
• How I came to join BiggerPockets: I read Rich Dad Poor Dad and after some weaving I found BiggerPockets, bought some of their books, bookmarked some of the important stuff when I read, and I'm in the process of editing the necessary papers so I can have everything ready. Now I have taken the next mini step by posting openly for the most part about myself here.
• Additional things: I believe the reason most people don't pull the trigger including myself is because of the risk and lack of funds to risk. I want to alleviate that fear and I want to get my feet wet. So how can I do all these things? I don't desire to be a wantapreneur but an entrepreneur.

If you guys have any questions about me please let me know otherwise hopefully I can transition from reading about people doing deals to actually doing these deals myself.
