I went into the course assuming I was paying $10k for a streamlined acquisitions process but what i got was two days of narcissistic self-aggrandizing guru garbage, a “mind map” that looks like it was thrown together, 34 “strategies” that can be found for free on BiggerPockets sprinkled with juuuuuust enough guru gimmick word vomit and hand waving to impress the eager and inexperienced, several of which were repulsive and absolutely predatory..Instructing students who get their offers turned down by a seller to walk out of the appointment, get in their car and blast out the property out to cash buyers anyway..
