I just finished my 3 day workshop from the same company, and I can say that I enjoyed the course and the content. I learned a lot. It's a starting point that teaches you a lot over the 3 days. Nothing is covered in great detail but it gave me enough information to help me know at least some of what I don't know...It taught me enough to get me excited and ready to start!

They will indeed hard sell you on the next step program, and even though it sounds amazing I can't see how it is worth the 40k they are asking for it. 

Overall, I'm glad I went and I'm now moving forward trying to make my first deal! 

Thanks for the info, Mike! I'm definitely going to be looking into this more. I'd also love to get together with you and learn some stuff from someone who has done it before. 

My wife and I are getting started in rei in the Phoenix area, and we want to purchase pre-foreclosure homes. In Maricopa county, once a house gets an NOD (known as notice of trustee's sale here), it gets assigned an auction date. We've read/heard some conflicting info and would love to hear from Phoenix-area investors. 1. Are you allowed to approach the homeowners (by call, mail, etc.) if they are issued an NOD? 2. If you connect with the homeowner, does the bank have to approve any deal you make as long as the loan is paid off? Thanks for any insights!
