This video is for EVERYONE. Especially anyone wondering about the "magic formula" of working short sales or if you're curious about Club Fed, Obama's good ole boy club featuring Georgie Soros, Paulson and the GS wrecking crew:

James,

Seriously? LPG launched on Monday and now someone is selling a "new" copy of the course for a BIN price of $600?

How cool is that? Instead of getting all of their $2K back via a refund (if dissatisfied with the course), they wisely decided to sell at less than half price on ebay? Also interesting about the seller's "no returns" policy. Makes perfect sense because it'll likely arrive to the unsuspecting buyer in FUBAR condition. :lol:

Now nobody's saying that you're suggesting anyone actually buy a bootleg course off of ebay because...

That'd be like someone here on BP suggesting that a fellow investor pay $100 to somebody "other than the owner" of a property to sign a Deed in order to gain ownership.

Dennis, no doubt there are a lot of scams out in the market place. It sucks and they deserve to be exposed. But let's keep in mind that ROR, unlike snopes.com, doesn't bother to verify submissions or perform any fact finding effort at all. That's why it's a free-for-all for folks like "Jack Bosch Scammer" (is that the submitter's real name?) :cool:

Anyone can post on ROR (you, me, disgruntled tenants, employees, haters of all kinds, etc). It's just plain good ol' wholesome mud slinging entertainment... like The National Enquirer.

Hi Nareth,

I'm new here myself but want to extend a welcome to you.

There are lots of great areas to check out in the forums so you'll want to bounce over there and see what most appeals to you.

IMO, I'd be careful about sharing how much cash you have to invest as well as any specifics of particular deals that you might not want appearing in a public forum.

Ivan,

Yes and Yes. :lol: It's all in there.

I've been working tax deed sales (land as well as houses) for nearly 10 years and have done several thousand deals in that time.

Jack's course is all about buying and selling (mostly) free and clear land. I feel that's one area that the course lacks a little bit because it only covers land deals.

Personally, I work these deals in multiple states from multiple angles (land, houses, liens) and have included "the missing chapter" as an added bonus to cover exactly how I make these deals happen.

While it's not rocket science, an organized system definitely makes it all run a lot smoother.

Ivan,

Yeah, I bought it last year before he made the additions. It does everything he claims it does and that's (partly) why I decided to promote it this year.

Again, you can always return it for a full refund if you decide it's not for you but if you actually put it to use (most don't even bother opening courses they buy) you'll most likely knock out a profitable deal or two in the next couple of weeks.

HTH,
Brian

Here's my opinion (CAUTION: I'm biased) :lol:

Yep, Jack's course is offered with 2 options - $1,500 and $2K. Yep, he'll make a lot of cash from sales.

Yep, there are a lot of affiliates selling it and offering some pretty crazy bonuses. Myself included. :cool:

No doubt about it.

Here's the deal. You can look at it from the perspective that every course should be priced at $97 and that it must be bogus if someone sells somethingg at a higher price point than what you might think is "fair".

But... if you stand to learn how to make an extra six figures over the next year 9and each year thereafter) as a result, would price $2K price still bother you? Probably not.

If so, simply don't buy it. It's totally a matter of choice. Some folks feel they can learn all they need from a $20 book and some actually believe that all they need is located right here for free. Again, it's a matter of perspective.

The same argument could be made for buying and selling houses (if that's your thing). Is it 'fair' for you to make a couple grand (or tens of thousands) when you put together a deal in a couple of hours? Lots of folks don't think so but will that affect your 'moral' judgment if someone cries foul because you're making a substantial profit?

Mr Investor, if someone is spamming you simply report them and get them shut down. However, if an individual opts in to a mailing list and then cries "SPAM" when they're actually marketed to as a result... well that'd be pretty silly.

HTH,
Brian

Wow, a 4 yr old thread brought back to life! LOL

Lots of things can happen during various phases of the process. One of them is another investor can swoop in and cut a deal with the owner to redeem (when it makes sense).

I suggest that if you have to 'persuade' the owner to go for a LO, you're likely approaching it the wrong way.

Personally, I always preferred getting a deed over a L/O. The middle of that sandwich ain't the best place to be.

Lots of ways to have your cash tied up for extended period of time relating to TLCs.

Have you talked with the property owner? :cool:
