I know some who have attended the pricey Robert Allen 3-day workshop.
Most of the gurus seem to use the same model: Attend a free 2-hour
seminar on real estate, get offered a 2-4 thousand dollar seminar, and
then get more sales pitches for additional training, mentoring,
coaching, software, etc. I know of someone who recently spent 5
thousand dollars or more at a Carleton Sheets 3 day seminar. I hope he
has enough fire in the belly to follow through and be successful.
A more reasonable approach would be to buy a good book or two, meet with
real estate agents and join an investor's club. There are real estate
agents who work with investors.
Robert Allen has several books that are readily available at major book
sellers. I've seen his training materials for sale on eBay, too.
I do NOT think that Robert Allen, Carleton Sheets and similar gurus are
crooks ... but I'd bet that very few of their students make big
money in real estate. I certainly appears that some infomercials
target the gullible, desperate and under-educated. It is also clear
that the success stories are not from typical students. Still ... I
think the gurus' courses can work if the student has dedication, desire
and persistence.
I wish someone could sell me "ambition" and "success" in easy to swallow
pills.
