Example: they consistantly bring in "speakers" who push tehrir products at high prices and the club owner gets half of the sales commissions.

The public speaker was discussing about corporate credit and how you can borrow money without affecting your credit score if you set up an LLC. 

Before my co-speaker could answer, I cut in and said the right answer is as much as you can get.

The organizers of these events usually have costs for renting the space, flying out speakers, etc. they aren't just pocketing your money.Wholesaling is tough right now in this market, you need to be able to separate yourself from the endless competition out there.  

We just had our nightly meeting for the month this week and Rick Larson was the speaker.

The speaker was going through a couple of methods of creative financing and one that really caught my attention was a form of seller financing.Essentially he'd pay 0% interest, but 'overpay' on the purchase price.

Thats a good point @Chris Seveney, I attended a seminar on notes investing in my local REIA and the speaker mentioned something about the dangers of inviting on out of state notes because of tax implications.

I am a mother to beautiful 10 year-old girl, legislative aide to the Maryland Speaker of the House and I own my own baking and dessert table service.

radar went off when these speakers were showing "what I could have" and "i'm not good enough so here's an easy way to get rich" for the first 1/2 of the lectures (and I tried to keep an open mind, but their techniques were just too obvious to me).

I am focusing on wholesaling, and looking to network with cash buyers and learn more about REI.I have an engineering degree from Lehigh University but have been serving as a pastor and speaker for the past 17 years.
