As a newbie with minimal investing experience, I felt that it was overall a waste of my time. When I asked one of the guys if there was going to be more meat in the content the next day, the guy's response was that not everyone in the room was as smart as me. That's all he had to say. Reminded me of the time I was standing with a group of people watching an orangatan dance around at the SF Zoo, and then he suddenly flung a handful of poop at the crowd and we all scattered screaming.
If you insist on sitting through it, bring coffee and snacks. Their idea of keeping you awake is to crank up the AC, so dress in layers. They don't let anyone ask questions in the rouse of saving time, but the reality is that they don't want to divulge too much. Someone blurted out a question on how to find cash buyers when wholesaling. I thought the guy was going to jump off the stage and slap the lady for not following instructions. Well that surely deterred anyone else from being so bold. I split the $200 for the 3 days with my partner, so $33/day wasn't going to hurt. But the hours of sitting through the shpiel was pretty painful. Have fun!

I went to the 3 day seminar earlier this month. I did pick up some good nuggets of information, but of course I had to sit through hours and hours of the guy pitching their $35k program. $35k!!! This after I was told specifically that they weren't going to try and up sell me at this 3 day seminar. Because of this, I feel they are lacking integrity and they weren't getting another dime from me.
I'm grateful I went though, because I too found BP because of it, @David White. I specifically found this forum.
So @Jason Borowy, what was your outcome?

Oh my... reminds me of when Luke (dressed as a storm trooper) gets sucked down into the mucky trash pile. Yuck! But I feel so sad for the folks that created that mess. It's a mental disorder that totally controls them. So sad. Have fun with that.

Hi All,
I would love to join you all for my first meetup. I will try and make it over the hill early enough to beat Friday evening rush hour. Crossing fingers.

Thanks, Brandon. I'll look into the keyword alerts. I became a realtor to get into investing, so I'm pumped to get started. Listening to Podcast 99 right now. Good stuff.

Thank you! My head is spinning with all this information, so I'm just trying to absorb it all.
