*The Flipping Formula Platinum Package: $26,297.00 (said 1/2 of this is all I would give up)*The Flipping Formula Upgrade to Diamond Package: $15,000.00 --> never used and this was taken away in exchange for the year long coaching at a 'discount'*Corporate Credit Builder w/Assistance: $2,495.00 --> this was useless *Tax Sentry Package: $2,360.00 --> haven't used, no accounting advice given and contact is a large company*Advanced Real Estate Education Year Long Coaching $12,500.00 - been over this.So far I've heard nothing back from him so I'll likely be moving forward with contacting the multiple media outlets I listed.
