So far nothing has come of it. I have a lawsuit pending but it takes a while. 

Go to the building department and ask. They'll tell you right there

I've now seen Dave from Flipping Boston cry in person telling the same story about how he got started to different audiences. Makes me want to puke.

@Peter Bowring

Yep

See other forum posts for details on what happened.

Yeah my complaint is in that list. They offered me $10 grand initially when I sent them a letter saying I'd send the details of their scam to every news media outlet I could find. 

Next I filed a complaint with the BBB and was offered $15k and they said they would close the complaint if I didn't accept soon. I didn't and they closed the complaint!! How is that possible? It was closed and marked resolved...what? 

After this I filed complaints with every government agency I could. Utah and Massachusetts Attorney General's offices both said they'd look into it. Massachusetts actually outsources their complaint research. That company sent a letter or form to the Utah address and said it came back returned. I gave them all of the contact info I could find for the company but they never did anything more.

Finally I contacted AREE and said I was going to pursue legal action unless they wanted to give me $30k, half. (We're actually out $60k but I put $41k in the post title because that number seems to get people's attention.) He said he'd give me $20k and sent me the agreement that I referenced in the main post. Of course he said I'd get nothing if I pursued legal action. Okay so why do you keep offering me more money to go away? 

So here we are. My lawyer said they actually aren't even licensed to do business in the state of Massachusetts but they've found some way around that. He told me but I zoned out on the legal jargon. 

Not signing it :), got a lawyer

No one talks because if they got money back they signed a ridiculous agreement that states they will forfeit the refund if they bad mouth them. They also make the person remove all negative online reviews. Additionally any and all legal steps a person may take can only be done in the state of Utah. 

I know this because I have this agreement sitting in front of me ready to sign for a fraction of the total amount owed.

"Flipping a property THROUGH Success Path"...is a concept they sell but do not deliver. I am one of those that foolishly bought into their crap and am now down 50k with nothing to show for it. They make it seem as though they will guide you through every step of the way. They'll help you set up your power team at their boot camp and hold your hand until you can do it in your own. 

It's all crap. They tell you to call numbers on bandit signs to build your 'buyers' list. They make it seem like wholesaling is so easy and profitable that you can easy get $10k a house with only 3-4 hours if work. More crap. There are so many whole salers out there already so the competition is strong. If you do find someone who needs to sell they know the market is  good and won't take your low offer because they know they can get more by putting it on the market.

One of the most disturbing and telling actions of this company is that one of their 'stars' Pete and Dave of Flipping Boston won't even wholesale to their students. I asked this question directly to them at the seminar in Vegas and got crickets. Pete deferred to Dave who said that 'he'd never really thought about it'.  Really? Helping your students directly never crossed your mind? Enjoy my $50k a-holes. 

Wow, good thinking on recording the call! We went the BBB route and it's good to do for due diligence but our complaint was simply closed after going back and forth a couple of times. After Input something out on RipoffReport.com he said 'oh now you're REALLY getting nothing.' Super professional.

I have a complaint open with the Mass and Utah Attorney General's offices. Utah sent me a message that the more complaints they receive about the company the better. I'd suggest as everyone that has issues file a complaint at least with the Utah Attorney General's office. The more the better.
