Definitely steering clear of it now. one of the sad parts of all this.. is its NOT to good to be true.. these types of deals are out there in the turn key world every day with quality providers.. this guy simply was not ready and all he had was a very savvy way to market himself in the new world but his advice and theories were not correct.. he simply is not an experienced real estate investor.. he just regurgitates half truths and other things that are patently false  like saying the low end D class is easier to manage than A class..

Make sure they know what they are talking about and they are not regurgitating what they heard in some webinar or silly guru bootcamp.

They are absolutely making more money selling regurgitated information that actually practicing.

A small sample number is just one, another is that these people likely had a bad experience and were not pros but beginners and lost, or perhaps they have never invested in real estate and are regurgitating the media spin that is so common (real estate is risky, hard to sell, expensive to maintain, non liquid like stocks, and the other goes on).

As far as owning another property, financed another way, seems legitimate; again only regurgitating what I've read as I have yet to "practice what I preach"

Again, aside from just regurgitating what you think is correct.

David Schwartz, amongst others, every other author has regurgitated the same information.

You need to be aware of the ones who call themselves investors and mentors - most are only regurgitating what they have read in books or garnished from seminars - many are just FULL OF IT!

I will regurgitate for you what I have heard: there is a major player in that market offloading their inventory so deals right now may be especially easy to find.

Lots of the real estate books I find filled with useless regurgitated fluff.
