He was on TV all the time.

On ebay, they sell a little box that emulates the look of a TV in the house.

Everyone on the TV shows gets all excited about it too.

Being one of those coupon queens you see on TV long before it was cool to be one, these are the tips to save on supplies.

<<No 'bitterness' or 'disillusionment' there -- just a valid OFFER of OPPORTUNITY.But I'll tell you what raises my hackles -- the 'fantasy' (first started by gurus, then enhanced by reality TV shows, and unfortunately still propagated by some posters here) that any form of real estate investing can be SIMPLE or EASY.That's like telling some schmo with a typewriter and a mastery of the alphabet that he can create a bestselling novel!

@Katie Douglas  wow great post and very true on virtually every point you make.whether its BP or TV gurus  the perception that you can just pay for a course or listen to pod cast and read BP and somehow be successful in RE is really pretty silly and not realistic. the fact is this is an industry... and many if not most people need to pay their dues and work there way up.. there is some perception here that this is like sprinkling water on your new seeds and it germinates and grows to a 10 foot sunflower in 3 short months.. all with no money no credit and no experience or skills.when in fact to succeed in this business you need if not all of those a combination of them.You can definitely read BP and listen to pod cast and learn how others have done it but as you state its antidotal information at best.. and at worst some of the information is not relative in many markets and flat won't work.

I saw last night on TV, they were evacuating the city and two ferrys were in the harbor, one was loaded with prisoners and the other boat filled civilians both trying to leave town.

The point is I didn't know any better back then and was only exposed more or less by the tv ads.
