 Just curious, how did he get run out of town Joe?  They still have a location there.  Del is still the person who heads it up.

Geode pretty much said it all.  I am a member as well.  I did go in at the upgraded price.  While I learned a bunch I do feel they oversold the program.  If you have a good cash reserve you can really do it without any hand holding.  They don't teach wholesaling or anything to raise funds for investing so you must have it up front to do what they teach.  I joined 2 years ago with $30k and they said that was plenty if I followed their plan.  I never got a deal through them like promised.  Several deals fell through as their people made the deals look great but all turned out to need more than $30k down.  I would just find yourself a team and get the basic membership if I had to do it again.  Hope that helps.  Message me or post here if you have any other questions about them.

$500 membership is worth it for sure.  You get a boat load of information to get you on your way.  With their model though you have to have lots of cash to start off with.  They don't teach how to start off with little money eventhough they try to pitch that at times.

Yeah, over inflation is very common with wholesalers.  That's why you have to do your own analysis of each property.  In my opinion I rarely see a good or great deal from them.  They of course always want to make it sound like they have 20 people putting in a bid on the properties.

Hey guys.  My sister-in-law is looking for a new house and I don't see anything like HAR.com here in Houston.  Is there one like it?
