I think NRU has also been very motivational to kick them into gear and get them going instead of sitting around all day dreaming about it.However, I personally think NRU preys on the people that don't have any knowledge about how to get into real estate with no money down..normal working class people that probably should keep their day job.

You can't beat rage against the machine for throwing around weights.

hello everyone, i must say to all thanks for your honest opinions. after taking a serious look at my post for needing a mentor i guess i have to say i agree with all of you.theres just to much of me wanting something, but not willing to give in return (i honestly didn't know my post would come across like this, honestly)but anyway i guess the real reason why i needed a mentor was because i was just to scared to do it alone, but now i'm no longer scared so the whole need a mentor before i get started thing is no longer an issue. plus i've been building my team (like: lawyer, CPA, brokers, mortgage brokers and etc) and there all sort of like specialized mentors/advisor's anyway (and we all benefit from working with each other) plus i found out you have to find joy and happiness in the unknown, another words you have to enjoy the journey not just your final destination (your end dream), this will allow you to get out there and just learn as you go in anything you do.

:violin: It all worked out in the end due to the values skyrocketing - My dream to help the guys failed, but I turned it into a rental and sold it five years later for a good profit.

For this same reason we don't build using cubits anymore or price the weight of goods based on how much is held in the king's hand.

Am I still dreaming of 1996 or have things changed from the last cyclical downturn??

In a nutshell the premise of the whole book is that TIME is the real treasure, that work is a means to an end, and that your career "what you do" isn't as important as "who you are".He correctly points out that most people don't actually want to be millionaires, but rather they want what they think only a million dollars can provide.Way too many "gurus" make a pretty nice living convincing people they've got to make millions and while people have $ signs in their eyes and are looking at the yachts, and sports cars, and big houses in their inspired dreams, they miss the fact that the gurus are taking them for the few thousand bucks they've got.

Do not I repeat do not do it Trudy Montelango's reputation is not so good and I wouldn't pay $24K for any mentor regardless on how good he or she is.Save your money Trudy if you are going to use that 24K use it on real REAL ESTATE not some pipe dream some guru with a TV show feeds you.

I give little weight to ANY of the comps on the first deal.

For future reference, being "told" something carries no weight with a judge.
