Hey Parker! So, I had been looking at investing with RTR for quite a while, but hadn’t done anything yet. My wife and I were in analysis paralysis for sure, but then the academy dropped and we were sure we wanted to get into RE, but didn’t know how and this course was WAY cheaper than comps that ultimately just try and sell you a conference that just tries to sell you… on and on plus like you said, we got most of our money back and got to keep the material. The RTR team wanted us to invest in real estate and most importantly to see us be successful long term. My wife and I couldn’t be happier with our decision to invest in ourselves via the RTR academy.

Levi, thanks for sharing your experience with the academy! How was your experience investing with RTR aside from the academy? I’m in between investing with RTR and Norada and would love to hear input from other investors. 
I’ve never used Norada so I can’t compare the two. RTR has treated me so well I haven’t felt the need to try anyone else. Whenever I’ve had questions, even when they aren’t profiting they’ve answered my calls. They really want my wife and I to find success, which has ended up being a win-win.

Forcing you to invest is kind of nonsense.

They literally are making more back when you invest then if you didn't and just lost the refund probably. Have to look at these things properly. I've heard this guy speak, he's a smart guy. I don't think I'd want to be on the opposite side of him, I'd rather be in his corner but most of these deals it means he's not necessarily on the same side as you if it's being offered to you and he's not taking it.

I avoid these academies and masterminds of the sort. Just my two cents. 

Typically, I also avoid paid education because there is so much free content. I'm considering this one because it advertises help with tax structuring and LLC advice which is appealing to me. I also like the refund of course.

I may be misremembering this next part, but I recall one of the RTR podcast episodes where he mentions that RTR keeps all the “10’s” and gives the “9’s, 8’s, and 7’s” to the customers. With the amount of support they provide I am not against settling for an 8/10 deal. 

At the end of the day, it’s a big decision choosing who to invest with, but the academy is very enticing.  

Tax structuring and LLC advice you can get for a paid fee too. Or can just research and learn on your own. And then hire a CPA if your problems are big enough-- a good problem.

As for giving the 7-9/10s. Buy that if want, it's probably closer to the 3-5s.  

The refund part is just to get you get committed to another deal that makes them even more  money than that refund. The 90% they are paying you back is probably 1/3 of what they're actually making by you committing to a deal. It's no different than their 2-year, low interest rate teaser houses. Just get you in, and then you got to worry about the problem after. Don't miss the forest for the trees here. It's just bait. They likely will be a bid on the 2 year balloon options, too, in 2025. 

It's more predatory than solution driven. A lot of tremendous resources on this site. 
I’ve bought multiple properties using RTR and have never felt predatory. I’ve also met Zach the CEO multiple times and he’s a very straight shooter. It’s fine if you don’t like paid education, then this course isn’t for you. That doesn’t make this course a poor investment. Sounds to me like you’re commenting on how the quality of the course is without having seen it.
