Just to set the record straight. I did receive a refund for the newsletter - SIX MONTHS later, and after I had disputed the charges with my credit card company. I did have the documentation (copy of my cancellation request, his cancellation policy, etc.) My credit card company had already credited my account and then he refunded the charges. I'm waiting for my next statement to see if he is still placing charges.

Hi DanL,
Just curious. Did you sign up for or did you attend Darin Garman's Commercial Real Estate Investor Bootcamp? As you can see from my post, my experience with him wasn't so good. Take care.

Darin Garman - Has anyone had any dealings with this guy?
I thought he seemed pretty up and up, but then I ordered his
"Garman Analyzer for apartment and
commercial investment property analysis". It was OK, just an Excel spreadsheet with expense catagories. Still I kept it and paid for it.

He also has an email newletter with a 2 month free trail. I signed up for that and cancelled it within the 2 months. My credit card was still charged the $37 fee. I called Darin Garman and he assured me that the charge would be reversed. Next month, you guessed it, I received another charge. This has gone on for 3 or 4 months. I contacted my credit card company to dispute the ongoing monthly charges and they initially credited my account. Today I received a letter from them that they are reversing this. Not sure why. I will contact them on Monday and cancel this credit card. But it still looks like I am out about $148. Not a big deal in the world of real estate scams, but annoying none the less.

Fair warning. Some things you just can't cancel online.

He has an investor group and I'm certainly glad I didn't get involved with that. I believe it's called Heartland of America.
