I've never attended, but have read a few posts and reviews on BP including this one with a first hand, interesting post from well respected Chris Clothier.

There's nothing wrong with having strong opinions but at least be respectful of the post and poster.

Feel free to go through your posts and notice all the well-respected people here on BP who don't respond to any of your posts anymore. 

I signed on to a program that was to form student investor groups in various cities that would offer extensive training at no cost AND 100% funding of flip deals up to 70% of ARV to the students  in exchange for a specific term of 50/50 profit splitting between each of the program directors and their respective students. 

Also, personally, I would find this much more involved with respect to tracking everything.
