Then get a few deals under your belt, then immerse yourself in the knowledge because he doesn't want you to leave money on the table.

The thing most impressive to me was how the presenters were immersed in the sessions, just as the attendees.

Go on iTunes and type in real estate podcast and you can immerse yourself into some fantastic info.

I went to their 3-day insider's summit and this is what you get for $25K:- All those study courses that you've heard you can get on ebay- Lifetime web access to all their resources and computer systems that automate everything from lead generation web site to autoresponders to direct mail that reaches your target market -- it's ALL on autopilot if you want it to be- 6 months Intensive 1-on-1 coaching and mentorship with a custom-designed curriculum and action plan that is based on your particular goals and interest in real estate- Access to 5 x 4-day live bootcamp events on wholesaling, rehabbing, private lending, REO & Short Sales, etc- 2-day Full Local Immersion where they take you around on a bus in your local market and stop at several properties and analyze the deals in your local market, estimate repairs in your local market, etc.- Property buying tours (on a bus) in various markets- Networking with the nation's top real estate investors (all coaches that mentor you in the program must make millions of dollars a year in real estate)- Networking with successful people who connect you to others to help your business grow (it's like a REIA on steroids--they're proven performers, not wannabes)- All the legal forms and docs you need to close deals, including purchase offers, mortgage deeds and release of deeds (if you are doing private lending deals), promissory notes, etc.- Unlimited deal review for every deal you do, so someone can guide you and help you make the most out of every deal- Speed of implementation (sure you can learn a lot of this stuff online and from books, but it might take 1-2 years to amass all the knowledge and materials yourself)- Fully integrated software (web site lead generation, deal analyzers, database and customer relationship manager, accounting reports, marketing, etc) -- you could put all this stuff together yourself, but it wouldn't be automated, thus costing you hundreds of hours of extra labor per year- Systems that train your employees- Systems that allow you to replicate yourself in several markets without your business being reliant on you being there to run things- Guaranteed 24-hour response from a coach- Emergency Hotline to talk to a coach immediately- Lifetime membership and access to all their educational systems and continuing markets as markets changeAs you can see, FortuneBuilders's Mastery program is much more than a seminar company.

Certainly it may appear rather one sided however if you were to read my entire contract, which has been challenged a couple times unsuccessfully I might add, then you'll see I am not in the game playing business.

I recommend you immerse yourself with quality info.

@Nathan Siva  - Welcome to BPAfter becoming more knowledgeable and confident because of your immersion in the REI activities, take action to snag your first deal as a young buck.Don't get caught up in analysis paralysis.You must immerse yourself in the RE marketplace locally in your neighborhood or afar if the situation warrants it.Take calculated risks if needed and you shall be rewarded!"

Looking forward to immersing myself in this exciting world or real estate investing!
