I made my decision based on the fact that a) $5800 for a 90-day program was something I couldn't afford; b) $5800 for a 90-day program seemed VERY fishy/scam-y/pyramid-y to me; c) after scouring the internet for information, reviews, etc about the program, I found literally ZERO bad or less than 5-star reviews about it which - to me - is a massive red flag; no program, product or service is perfect, and the fact that they are making themselves appear as such really gave me a bad feeling about the program. I also found a website that scans/monitors other sites for legitimacy, and it flagged theirs as likely a scam; d)
I know of a handful of investors in my area who didn't learn through a program like this, but through their own networks and education (through REI networking events, getting their RE license, property management, books, etc); e) I started exploring BP's free and affordable (i.e. books) resources, and it turns out, these have been immensely useful and educational and allow me to move at my own pace. Essentially, all the comments I have received on this post have only reinforced my decision, and I am really glad I did not fork up $5800 for a program that really seems to bully a diminish all the women it claims to support, and I likely would have been part of that group.

You can do her trainings anytime, anywhere. Some calls are recorded so you can watch too. Those are great for learning.
Just was saying the facebook group was not very supportive to me personally. Most people would give up after having a few posts turned off that didn't break any posted group rules, but I have something called persistence and perseverance, so I kept trying. I was a pain in the butt. Many of my posts, I was excited to ask and learn, but someone read into it in a negative way. They got someone in there, or had someone there, while I was there, that read into my posts in a really negative way. Karen would be the word.
On the other hand, now that I AM FLIPPING houses, I know that "questions" are exactly how property managers and contractors give you the run around, delay things, and make excuses. Amen. Right? You send an e-mail with the list of repairs, and suddenly the contractor, or manager, or whatever, replies with questions. You try to answer their questions as they slowly vanish, then after two weeks of emails back and forth, the contractor tells you they can't do it. Or you stop hearing from them. Or nothing has been done. Grrrrr!
When flipping and dealing with people I am paying, I don't want many questions or negativity. I cannot handle it. I need action. And people who are positive about moving forward. Action. Not talk. So I can totally understand not being able to handle negativity, and not wanting any of it whatsoever! However, if I were a teacher, GETTING PAID to help in a facebook group (which is what her program is), I would be very supportive and loving towards all my student struggles, questions and issues.
My specific package was a big payment to her program. I was sold the emotional support of the group with lifetime access to the fbook group. Which I did not get. The trainings, however, were good.
