I signed up for the course a few years ago, acknowledging that I very well might never wholesale a property.  I liked the podcast, and wanted to supplement it with additional education.  There's loads of material in the academy and I'm happy with the investment.

My recommendation for deciding whether to spend money on something like this is similar to letting a friend borrow money.  Can you afford to lose that money, knowing full-well that you may never get it back?  And, is there a benefit even if you don't?  For loaning money, you'll learn something about the friend and hopefully feel good being able to help someone out.  For the Epic Pro Academy, there's plenty of opportunity to learn and explore investing strategies even if you don't end up a wholesaling wizard.

Good luck!

Hey guys

I have access to the Epic Pro Academy. There are some things I don't agree with but by no means is the Epic Pro Academy is a Wholesaling Course as @christinarogers. has said. The Epic Pro Academy talks about the following

• Contract Assignments
• Wholesaling
• Fix and Flip
• Buy and Hold
• Lease Options
• Owner Financing
• Subject-to
• Presenting multiple offers to sellers called a 3 option letter of intent
• Lead Generation (in my opinion a little old school but works)
• Advertising (My personal stance is don't create a huge buyers list but build close relationships with 3-5 and go shopping for them (buyer first).)
• Automation

If even one person was able to have success following the course then it works. I know at least 5 people who have built and scaled their business using the EPIC approach. I can tell you they worked their asses off and didn't rely on the Academy to be the saving grace but a tool in the tool belt not the belt. I believe a lot of these courses do work but the problem is they attract people who think they'll be a baller in two months in Real Estate just because the course alone. If you want to be in Real Estate in any way, commit the next 15 years of your life to your craft and profession. Real Estate is a business just like any other and it's very hard. It also has the potential to be a B quadrant business and I quadrant investment (for those of you who know the cash flow quadrant).

It's great to get training but make sure you trust the source. Also, never rely solely on any training being the saving grace to make you financially free. Only your work, dedication, skills, knowledge, commitment, consistency and time will make that happen.

My whole point of this message is stop asking if a course is legit and if it works. It takes the responsibility off of you to make something work. Don't encourage courses and don't villanize them. Just focus on your own business and solving problems.

Great post Wyatt, very true..

Any success stories though from people who have bought Matt's course?

@Jake K. - Here is another thread about this topic:

Hello Everyone,

I am currently doing my homework.  What are some books to read to help understand the big picture?

Kind regards,

Ramsey

@Jake K. you're going to need to double close. Use transactional funding (which funds your purchase if you don't have the money) or a private lender (e.g. friends and family) to close the Hubzu deal first. You can only get transactional funding though when you have a pretty firm end buyer. Lots of companies out there will transactionally fund you.
