Post: Matt Theriault's Epic Pro Academy Is It Legitimate?

Hey guys

I have access to the Epic Pro Academy. There are some things I don't agree with but by no means is the Epic Pro Academy is a Wholesaling Course as @christinarogers. has said. The Epic Pro Academy talks about the following

  • Contract Assignments
  • Wholesaling
  • Fix and Flip
  • Buy and Hold
  • Lease Options
  • Owner Financing
  • Subject-to
  • Presenting multiple offers to sellers called a 3 option letter of intent
  • Lead Generation (in my opinion a little old school but works)
  • Advertising (My personal stance is don't create a huge buyers list but build close relationships with 3-5 and go shopping for them (buyer first).)
  • Automation

If even one person was able to have success following the course then it works. I know at least 5 people who have built and scaled their business using the EPIC approach. I can tell you they worked their asses off and didn't rely on the Academy to be the saving grace but a tool in the tool belt not the belt. I believe a lot of these courses do work but the problem is they attract people who think they'll be a baller in two months in Real Estate just because the course alone. If you want to be in Real Estate in any way, commit the next 15 years of your life to your craft and profession. Real Estate is a business just like any other and it's very hard. It also has the potential to be a B quadrant business and I quadrant investment (for those of you who know the cash flow quadrant).

It's great to get training but make sure you trust the source. Also, never rely solely on any training being the saving grace to make you financially free. Only your work, dedication, skills, knowledge, commitment, consistency and time will make that happen.

My whole point of this message is stop asking if a course is legit and if it works. It takes the responsibility off of you to make something work. Don't encourage courses and don't villanize them. Just focus on your own business and solving problems.

hey guys

I wanted to take a poll and ask the following. For those of you that have been in real estate for 5+ years, did you have an initial passion for real estate or was it developed over time?

Great advice guys. @Shawn I do currently listen to the flip to freedom podcast and it's wonderful. Also thank you for the extensive references.

@Karl Krentzel it's funny you mentioned sales. I just accepted a sales job that I start this Monday. I come from an engineering and math background so I think this will be a great transition while I work on wholesaling part time. This sales job has a specified niche (negotiated priced group benefits for retired teachers) and it comes with a script along with leads. This will be excellent training for me when I start talking with motivated sellers. My manager has instructed me in the way most experienced REIs communicate with sellers (build rapport/relationships, listen and get referrals)

I want to get into wholesaling in Indianapolis. I've heard all the "gurus" talk about getting into wholesaling with no money no credit. I know it can be done from a buying standpoint, this is a business like anything else and it requires starter money.

What would you say is the absolute minimum one needs to get started? In other words, if you don't have at least blank, don't get started in wholesaling until you do.

Thank you for your help. I want to get started on the right foot and not become another wannabe that quits after two months
