I cant tell you how many consultations I've had that have literally saved people from thousands of dollars in mistakes because they were trying to do something impossible that some tik-tok scam spouted off in a 30-second clip.

If you do the math on after-tax cashflow, there is a strong case for leverage.Returns aside, leverage is a deterrent against frivolous lawsuits and title scams.

Most gurus are scams in that they take your money and don't really offer much in return (and as Evan stated, the bigger the guru, the more likely that is).

It doesn't sound so much like a scam to me as marketing gimmick to get business.

I just recently rented out 2 rooms, and I had what seemed like 5-10 people a day reach out, though I will admit some were scams or what seemed to be fake accounts.

Thats when things started feeling scam-ish... 

They hand me cash, money order, or cashier's check so I know the funds are good and immediately available.She's trying to scam you.

Lots of "get rich quick" gurus out there about buying deals with no money down or "creative financing" that when you peel back the curtain you realize is a scam used to sell courses online. 

I would wait for more input but I feel like you're being scammed.
