I have attended the 3 day workshop with fortune builders.

What i can tell you from my own experience that these guys are extremely pushy.

They make it look so easy, get you motivated and excited with this hope of being rich if and only if you purchase their mastery program.  

I was actually so excited and expecting that this program is gonna give me a lot of extra missing things in my education, or at least do actual case studies but that was not the case. They gave me nothing in return for the 200$.

They spend literally half the time during the event on marketing their mastery program...

I honestly felt pity for people purchasing this  program ( cheapest one is $20,000 ).

Reading books and searching is the best way to learn the basics of real estate.. like i'm doing:)

Good Luck

Hello fellows,

I have just returned from a fortune builders workshop, though we still at the first day form the 3 days event but these guys makes u excited about their work.

Do you think that they are useful? they even introduced us to their mastery program.

Do you think guys that it worth a shot? I would really love to know about your opinion about this mastery program provided by fortune builders

Thanks!

I was going through realty track and noticed a lot of REO's listed value or estimated market value is above the nearby sales prices.

What does this information reflects? 

How can a condo/townhouse be estimated and listed at X price and nearby sales are lower? Does this mean its not a good deal for a REI?

Hi, i'm not even sure if that's the right forum to ask my question in. ( that's my first post )

I just moved to the states, and want to get in the real estate business. ( was in this business in my home country but its little different over there :)

I don't have an income yet but i have some cash to invest.

I thought of purchasing a property in cash and then rent it. After renting it, is it possible to ask for a home equity loan to put some of the amount on a down payment for another property?
