You are right - he will be selling a seminar - you need to research his legal problems that occurred in the past - I think he is a good person - but he got the wrong marketing agency promoting his program - he is a better write than investors - You need some hard-core instruction - not a ferry tail presentation that will only motivate you to spend money on a long distance type of instruction.Start an investor club - you come in contract with many folks who invest, who have money - who are good folks and you'll learn much from that association;Run some ads: Real Estate Meet-up meeting being formed - all are welcome - our first meeting will be May 25th at the Holiday Inn - the subjects discussed will be Tax Sales in the Local market - creative financing - our guest speaker will be Bob Smith from Smart Title Company.

I really enjoyed the podcast episode; you are an excellent speaker.

I moonlight as a motivational speaker ...

Listen to BP Podcast or CPA lecture during shower/while getting ready (seriously a waterproof blue tooth speaker is the best $20 I've spent on amazon)5.

The have a wealth of info and a different speaker on each one.

We have some really AWESOME speakers the next three months if you can make it, some of the most successful and interesting real estate investors in Central PA.  

@Kevin Carbon is the Lakewood meetup a REI group with speakers or more of an informal meeting of like minded investors?

I know that the Tulsa REI club is fairly active, but the strategies they employ may be different then others, they also have some guest speakers that are more guru-y then people like.

AZREIA last month was about multi fams and apartments, guest speaker @AnthonyChara talked about apartments across the country being even better than usual for investing for the near future.

Just because someone is a speaker or popular doesn't mean they won't take advantage of your ignorance.
