I am a brand new investor who will be doing a first-ever auction on the 17th, online, hoping to buy a few tax lien certificates in Maryland. So that's one venture I'd welcome advice on.
I do see that the whole point of Bigger Pockets is to avoid having to pay for training and mentoring. Too late! I've already invested some $$ with training from John Lane, Tony Martinez, Dustin Hahn and Real Estate Mogul (Preston Ely & friends.) The good news is I've learned quite a bit from what I've studiously listened to. It's given me the confidence to sign up for that auction, for one thing. And I get the point that there's a lot of hype and thus far, no real one-on-one support.
But this morning I watched a 10 min. video in which Preston Ely touts his million $ software wholesaling program, FreedomSoft. I'd be grateful for a second opinion on whether to spend $37 now and then $97 per month for this website with it's permanently updated program, in which he claims one can easily wholesale houses remotely by just matching up almost unlimited nationwide lists of cheap houses with eager buyers and make thousands a month doing so. He does offer a 30 day money back guarantee, and says you can cancel any time, so I'm tempted. Feel free to share your advice with this newbie!
Thank you. With gratitude in advance,
Ru
