Like Michael said there's no way to know the answers without actually reviewing your taxes.

I spoke with State Farm, but they require plumbing and electrical panel upgrades just to consider reviewing my application.

A lot of positive reviews from these mentors/gurus comes from people who psychologically feel the need to justify why they parted with thousands of dollars even tho deep down they know they were duped.If these gurus were really successful, they would be out doing deals, not selling courses.

Is this really the person with qualifications to provide a review? 

I was trying to find host reviews about booking.com but couldn't find any.

I’m a little skeptical of taking reviews from the company itself if you know what I mean.

For example, if you’re investing in residential properties on the southwest side of town, eliminate property managers focused on commercial properties or other areas.Research CandidatesSearch Engines: Be cautious—Google rankings often reflect marketing, not quality.Yelp Reviews: Read reviews critically; tenants, not property owners, typically write them.

Besides, if the person doesn't give a glowing review, you know its probably the best review he can provide--not great news.

You can also search Google and read reviews.

First I'm writing this review because the experience bothered me so much.
