WHICH ONE???????????????????
I feel valuable information has been withheld
I found the best way to deal with those
You are not obligated to have any conversation with telephone salesmne so I just say “STOP!” and as politely as possible tell them “I do not take telephone solicitations of any kind, please remove me from your list, Thank you” and hang up
A friend just dropped $10K on Chief Denney’s “flipping” seminar. And no, she does not have access to any capital.
The MN babe, single, one child, about 110 pounds, loves to get dirty, long blonde hair,.. OH! Sorry.
Yes, I agree; I looked into the Montelongo seminar, but found that people got hooked into spending $20K ultimately to get his “expertise.”
He can call himself anything he likes. But if a reporter or commentator is going to rant on the internet, he should do the fact-checking expected of journalists who care about their credibility. It took me less than 60 seconds to find out the facts about his name.
The fault is the writer who shot off his indignation without a one-minute Wikipedia check, where he could easily have found the man's name and not made himself sound like Emily Litella.
The moving fast part is critical; also having a great stable of reliable contractors. The last part is harder than finding capital.
To be fair, isn’t it possible that a person could conceivably become a millionaire in the residential market, and then want to share what he learned with others? IF all things are equal (including the state of the market and the economy), the successful flipper/instructor would by then have amassed enough captial to move into the riskier and higher-cost apartment/hotel redevelopment market, and holding classes for beginners could help pay the bills for that leap.
Not all businessmen are shysters. But almost everyone who wants a get-rich-quick approach to life without being willing to work hard is going to fall prey to the dishonest ones.
Another important quality in a flipper is not having unrealistic expectations. A tv flipper like Jeff Lewis wants to net a million or more a year, dealing in houses that sell for several millions. A flipper who wants to make a living can be content with several houses in the $150K-250K market and clear $60K to 100K a year, depending on the size of his or her family.
Type his name in google then scam next to it to see the postings about him.
How many get-rich schemers get rich by employing the scheme that they are selling?
My point was about the reporter’s carelessness, not the advertiser’s nickname or his reputation.
The limiting factor has been cash. Anyone who tells you that you can flip houses without cash is either lying, or is going to advise you to do something illegal.

I’ve been to one of their presentations ,, they want to sell you their program ... or engage you to bird dog for them for very little reward.
Don’t forget to move to Florida and homestead your yacht.
