I'm on my own path, and the further I go down it, the less inclined I am to want to go visit Fantasy Island.

Again dealing in reality versus fantasy thinking.

The reality is that if you speak to many Bid Dogs that have been in the program for over a year, most of them do not have done much or no actual deals at all, and they are very disappointed with the program.Phil and Shenoah are surrounded by a group of assistants which, in my opinion, are just plain liars and fakes, pretending to be seasoned real estate investors, which is really questionable, and talking about incredible and fantastic deals that they are doing, in my opinion, most really in fantasy land.

Gurus will sell you on a no money down aquisition using numbes you can find in fantasy land....ex (50k purchase 100k ARV ---70k loan:  covers all costs in a perfect world.  

Seen lots of crazy people and if they have the time and money to hunt you down and be vengeful they can sue over fantasy.

That is not law, that is your fantasy

It's kinda the same thing with angry and fantasy callers. 

#----------insert fantasy World of Warcraft business here---------------#I have a super efficient auction house operation that I sometimes only spend 2 hours per month on (but I might go 8 hours a week if I find it particularly amusing).

You will want to know if the competition is in fantasy land or reality land.5.

in my experience they are the HUGE minority.. not the majority.. but its just like anyone in the sales business.. 10% will succeed  2 to 3% wildly and the rest will trundle along and 50% will not make it past 6 months.the internet has created this fantasy of real estate rich's and the fantasy includes starting with no money as a wholesaler.. but we know this is not true.. wholesalers need money to market.they need money to buy gas to go to meet ups.. or gas and a car to go meet with clients.Then they need innate skills to close the deals.. and we all know who those folks are .. they are the same that can sell used cars  or are great at selling time shares.. or any other hard close job.no mystery here.. the issue comes with a legion of beginners unleashed on folks who their property many times is their most valuable asset.. or they get snookered into giving it away.. and those that rip equity like this are proud of it etc .there is a place for this wholesaling I Believe in the low value asset areas of the US.. like pretty much any ghetto inner city area of the US.. were values are low and the traditional RE community just does not want to bother with it..
