I like to ignore these comments and pass them off as ignorance, and to do so I have immersed myself in my education.

I may stay in my industry as I invest in buy and holds, but then again the idea of immersing myself in the industry is captivating.

(rough –> due to unseen interior )Maybe add exterior and interior photos when possibleI been attending one of my local weekly sheriff auctions,but I plan to watch the process and game players for next nine months before considering pulling the trigger.

This way you will be educating yourself by immersing yourself in the real estate industry.

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

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.

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.

You are right, good things happen when you immerse yourself in it.

Immerse yourself in all BP has to offer: the podcasts, blogs, etc.Where to start is really dependent on what interests you, your situation, your finances, your life.

Just getting started, I would recommend a sort of immersion therapy where you're surrounded by investors, Realtors and lenders that can guide you along that aren't selling anything.Here's a good example of what I'm talking about.
