@Charlie MacPherson some people would rather the guaranteed money now vs the hope that they'll receive the money in the future from a traditional sale.  Some people have to sell this second to a cash buyer with no way of listing it or selling it traditionally.  As was mentioned earlier, there is a price for speed and convenience that an investor offers.  Great for your client for being able to wait but some can't.  People at the end of the day are responsible for their own actions and doing their own due diligence.

I find it odd that a hard money lender would talk about taking advantage of people.  Wholesalers play a roll in real estate the same way hard money lenders do... when someone can't or doesn't want to sell or finance traditionally.  Most people aren't going to get their mortgages through a hard money lender (who one could argue guage people and rips them off) just like most people won't sign a contract with a wholesaler because they could get more money on the open market.  

they are stealing equity while they claim they are providing a service. Greed is the motivating factor.

How do you suppose you'd raise capital without any prior ownership of real estate.  Not saying it's not possible, just I think you'd find it more difficult.

checkout Diversified Investor Group which is an active group here in Philly with many different subgroups and meetings to network.  I would say avoid spending too much on education from a company that also promotes a network marketing style of system.  If you provide value and bring a deal to a local investor, you could essentially get "free" training while splitting profits.  Just my advice from a fellow newby

@Ricky Cover you can get from the county for free. But the list is huge. I’m sure you could narrow it down and pick 300

I"m always curious how these people are getting their data and if it's possible to just the data myself for cheaper...  For instance, are they just getting the information from the city that I could get myself.... the value is in how they aggregate it (which I get), but how much would it cost to replicate that.  Also, how accurate is their data?  Is the list recent data or old data?  Anyways, you could check out REWW and PropStream
