Or maybe they sell you a low cost online trainging that comes to you in segments over a few days or few weeks.From this 1, 2, or 3 day training the guru then offers you a complete home study system and maybe a bootcamp where you go through the home study system and at the bootcamp dig in deeper into the aspects that are  bit tougher to wrap your head around.At the bootcamp, some guru's take it a step further and offer you mentoring, often times that comes with weekly group coaching calls, access to all the tools, contacts and system that they use and often offering to bring you one of three things:  buyers for deals, deals for you to buy or partner on and funding.
