Hello everyone,just starting out in real estate investing and this site which has been a great read by the way.. so I almost fell for the bus tour 30k event in sunny California when I went to Armando's 3 day, $ 1,500 seminar in Cambridge ma last weekend... to be honest it was informative for basic flip techniques, but was so annoying listening to great he is at real estate investing, but I guess he is, I mean he has turn key properties for you to invest in which he already owns, then he owns the PM company that will be running your property so I guess hes making cash at every end of the deal !!!!

That is incredible.

Even though it worked out in the end, it was an incredibly frustrating process of being in the dark.

Warning stories like this are incredibly valuable to the community as a whole.
