What the hell is up with so many people in this business promoting the same real estate guru products or rather launches of "their good friend" so and so. (Damn! I wish I could just say the names of these people without getting into trouble... don't you?)
It is utterly nauseating to get so many emails from these people - especially since they are promoting (for the most part) stuff we don't need. Listen - I am not saying that we do not need to buy education - of course we need to be educated. I study from people all the time and I will promote certain educators all day long! Why? Because they deserve it - because they are the best in the business and they are actually investors doing real estate investing - and they care about teaching you.
I don't worry so much for experienced investors and those who have been around the real estate investors "world" for a while. Mainly I care about the newbies. The wide eye, trusting newbies who believe that we real estate clubs, the real estate educators & the gurus are telling them the truth and that we do care about them doing well!
I have so many folks asking me advise on who's product to buy, who to trust, who to get coaching from, etc.
Here's my opinion:
1. Before you buy and product or coaching program - ask around! Talk to other investors and find people who have bought their program or have been through their coaching. Get referrals before you buy.
2. Don't believe the "we only have 10 (fill in the blank here) left! so you must buy now!" sales techniques - believe me we can always fit another person in to a meeting or workshop. (If an event or product actually does sell out - you will not be able to get it. This way you'll know if it's true)
Happy real estate investing everyone! It really is a great time right now - but let's just be smart about what we buy and from which guru's.
