Hello @Natalie Schanne I have worked in Real Estate, Property Management, Property Preservation, and Residential & Commercial inspections Since about the year 2000, We originally went to a Fortune Builders Event in Palm Springs about 5-7 years ago,(didn't Know about BP then) at the time we didn't know much about "REI" we had worked on the other side of the industry for so long it was Eye Opening, to see that with the Knowledge that we already had, how quickly we could Transition into investing for ourselves.
Fortune Builders was key in showing us many different paths we could take in the Real Estate industry, yes the one day free event is designed to pull you into the $200, 3 day event, which is designed to make you want to attend the $30k Mastery Program, Because they are a business, and ALL businesses need to make money to stay in business, Right ?
At the time we knew nothing about wholesaling, we had done a few flips of our own but didn't have the team or the strategies, or the financing, in place, to keep the ball rolling, so to speak... They helped us with all of that, The Networking opportunities at the 3 day events are worth the price of admission alone, Ran into several old friends, and made lots of new ones...
Overall we had a Great Experience at both of the Fortune Builders Event that we went to, Other people May have had Different Experiences, But the bottom line is, Don't knock it till you tried it !!!!
