What is astounding to me is the ready acceptance by the people purchasing these guru programs that with only the guru training they’ll be able to make tons of cash by identifying and tying up all these 40% + discount deals that all of us with the experience, education and capital have somehow missed.  

If there are hiccups along the way, such as a long vacancy, my staff is trained to call or email the landlord with updates (weekly is the default, but some landlords don't want that).A five-month vacancy cost you $7,000 in lost income, plus utilities, landscaping, and other expenses.

We don't actively seek talent from other brokerages and instead focus on training individuals from scratch.

A fairly reliable wholesaler who buys across the country, and spends $100,000 a month on advertising, also trains people to be wholesalers.

It would be like being trained by a neighbor on dog walking and them giving you a piece of paper calling you a certified dog walker. 

Cash flow is not the primary strength of real estate. 

I'm still learning how to use the DealAutomator and it took quite awhile to watch all the training videos. 

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.

Go with your strengths.1.  

All of our trainings are open to anyone who wants to come, because we are confident that anyone who attends will ask "Why isn't my brokerage doing this?"
