@Chris Nelson Thanks for sharing your story. I always wonder how people get involved with Morris Invest and with BiggerPockets as well. I hope you have a great experience here on the site. Feel free to reach out to to the members here. There is a wealth of information.
He has been on a bunch of other people’s podcasts in addition to the BP show. While it maybe true that those presenters do not endorse or vet their guests, if you are able to get on so many shows, you automatically gain some level of credibility. In additional if have your own podcast and youtube presence that helps gain to credibility. That's how I first heard of the company.
I spoke with one of their reps a while back (before reading all the stuff on BP). There was a sense of unprofessionalism about the person I spoke to, hard to quantify, just a gut feeling. I then asked about any reference customers. His response was something like 'we had a few customers that acted as references but they got inundated with calls because so many people want our product so they don't want to do it anymore.' That helped me make my decision on whether to proceed with them or not. During that call I asked about inspections, appraisals…I suspect those are not the type of questions they want to hear because after the call I got one email and not heard anything after that. After that I did some additional searched and found BP forum……
From a search I did it looks like some of those other folks that hosted him on their show have taken those podcasts down. Some still have it up (but maybe they are unaware of what's going on).
