I closed out the webinar after reading that clownish response; I will not be emailing my four questions to a tech support address. 

I've read many of the BiggerPockets books like - House Hacking- Flipping- Estimating Rehabs- Multifamily Millionaire Book I and II- How to Invest in Real Estate with Low or No Money Down- Investing from a Distanceand even some outside of themand have been wanting to do something in Real Estate for awhile.

It would definitely be fraud if this was the case, a recent post from an auctioneer talked about this exact situation, where they said the auctioneer was liable (different bedrooms/type of home example you don't have to read it) States would differ though and it doesn't seem black and white. https://mikebrandlyauctioneer.wordpress.com/2022/07/12/no-li...I do agree with you that it could very well lead to being burnt, however.

I recommend searching "arbitrage" here and reading any/all of the hundreds of general threads about negative elements of arbitrage.

I keep reading about all the weird financing issues in this space so I wouldn't actually put money in until mid 2025 or later.
