They promoted people who had no training or mentorship to move up2.

I love this site, but I think it promotes the idea that real estate done right is a sexy proposition -- owner financing, BRRR, off-market deals, blah blah blah.In reality, it's quite simple.

@Jay Hinrichs yea the fact they were promoting commercial as a gold nugget I thought was strange because I know commercial can take forever to sell.

After the fact, you identified red flags and now understand why someone promoting on BP is no different than someone posting on other social media pages...it shouldn't automatically lend credibility to the company simply because they pay to promote themselves on BP.

And some of the guys he promotes are just as bad.

So we side hustled and earned a few promotions and changed jobs (and locations - Dallas, Austin, Nashville) a few times to boost our earnings to fast track us to our first ever investment.

I just went to real estate investing clubs and promoted the property for my first deals.

I know your company Norada Real Estate is a hybrid promoter/turnkey company. 

Many years ago I remember reading some promoting gap lending, the difference between what an HML would cover(1st position) and all in cost.

For example in Texas a finder is limited to a maximum fee of 10% of the net amount received by the beneficiary, thereby eliminating from profitability a significant percentage of deals.This is the same over hyped, over promoted, over promised, under performing opportunity as note broker, house wholesaler, etc.
