That is good info. Using your example, that deal would be tough if not impossible in Denver. Thanks for the insight!

No, I asked the question in the forum box, they acknowledged my question but no answer. I guess it's back to work Monday...

I have to "deposit" the $1000 and find a lot before I get that answer. ...or at least an answer I'd trust...

One other thing - the email about Peter Conti and this "program" was sent from Preston Ely. From that name I was interested in viewing this deal; if it were not from Preston - I would have just deleted.

There was an opt in box and they provided a 1-800 number to gain access if desired. Credit card was requested for payment.

You are not at all being negative! It sounds like some kind of a bird dog program. When I find a lot that meets their criteria, I use their proof of funds letter (updated monthly, they said) to place the offer. I submit info on the lot into their program, "Deal Genie" and if the program likes the lot, I get $8700 when they close on the lot. That's it - "...don't know of an easier system to make money" they say - no money out of my pocket. I am required to give a $1,000 deposit so they know I am serious. Upon my first closed deal, I get that deposit back by double to $2000, making my first check $10,700. No limit to the number of lots I can do, but of course the "job" offer is limited to only a select few... $8700 is a number they reached as an average of some sort, nothing magical.

Concerning your comment to save the $1000, I would do that. But how can I sell to an investor what is not mine - certainly not without serious marketing efforts to locate a buyer, my own EM, etc? They make it sound, my take here, like they are so flush with cash that they are too busy to find lots to build on, so this program finds the additional land to develop.

My questions were one, how do I know they really take my offer and not just circumvent my "finders fee"? How ridged are the requirements - if they want prime property only, why would they need this "help"?

I just spent an hour listening to Mr. Conti describing a program called Lot Flipper. I find a lot for sale, and if they like my deal - they take it and do whatever with it - but will pay $8700 as a finders fee (when it closes) for the lot. I give them a $1000 deposit to show my sincerity, they send some easy to follow short training and I am off to find a lot.

Is this for real or a scam?
