Hi guys, my husband and our business partner are attending the three day this weekend and I do feel like they try to upsell the Mastery program, a lot. However I did find it strange that they told us that we were not allowed to network during this weekend and if they found out we were doing so, we would be kicked out. As I sat in my seat yesterday and I listened (most of which I already knew thanks to BP and reading books that were recommended by Brandon Turner) I couldn't help but stare at them with squinty eyes of mistrust. I really wanted to just yell out "Everyone go on BiggerPockets.com and do your own research if you're serious!" And I ultimately did tell the guy sitting next to me. Who knows if he will actually look it up or not. I am still going the next two days to get my money's worth but I just can't buy into all the hype. Maybe they think without the hype it'll be boring?
Anyways, my question is: Is most of their advice sound? I am new to the game but some of their systems sound a little fishy. I'll dive deeper after this three day to really dissect what I've learned but just wanted a general answer if what they say is pretty good advice. For example, most of today was about getting the most out of your credit cards to invest. He kept saying "Now is a great time to get into debt!" Maybe because I'm new or something but that scared me. I know that buying a property isn't an asset until it's paid technically but this mantra just straight up made me nervous. Maybe he wanted me to keep my mind open to spending the $30-50k on Mastery?
