HI Joe
I went to the event this past weekend actually. Here are my views:
Positives:
1. Inspiring - You hear a lot of inspiring stories and their social media community is very very helpful with any questions you may have on investments.
2. Eye opening - They take you through several NMD strategies which I would have never thought of in my wildest dreams. Caution - only very briefly as the detail will apparently only be available in the costly specialised courses.
3. Contacts - Forget the speakers, you meet several like minded genuine people who are all in a similar situation to you and its a great bonding and networking opportunity.
Not so sure on:
1. Up sell - The speeches are designed to leave you wanting more and with all the "today only" special offers, its hard not to get tempted when you see others signing up and FIMO comes into play.
2. Personal stories - I am not sure how to feel about this one. Every single speaker shared their own personal low point that got them into property and got teary on the stage, with the follow up comment of "my goal in life is to help as many people as possible achieve financial freedom". I want to believe them and their stories. I mean surely people wouldn't use their personal life's tragic events to mislead people ?
3. Contradiction - Each speaker talked about how much money they were making from property and if the figures are correct, I am not sure why they were so desperate on selling us the courses ? Each speaker also contradicted the one before them about their own strategy being the most profitable one.
The whole course is based around sourcing desperate vendors, buying (for cash!), refurb, and recycle. I am not quite sure how easy it will be to find desperate sellers and/or being able to borrow £200k cash from angel investors without much of a track record.
Anyways, I signed up for a few courses in the heat of the moment but now considering if I should use my cooling off period.
I'd much rather use that money on mentoring... (Rob- you listening ?? PLEASE ???)
Thanks
