The Fact About Real Estate Investment Seminars

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

Real estate is a hot topic. Lots of seminars are being carried out. A seminar can be on any topic. Let it be Real Estate.

Whenever you will attend a real estate seminar, you will come across following points:

  • Lease options.
  • Prophets of financial or planetary doom.
  • How to bargain?
  • How to purchase?
  • How to invest?
  • How to squeeze more profit?
  • Flipping real estate.
  • Nature of investing.
  • Should you pursue the bird dog strategy?
  • Recommended shopping list for millionaires.
  • Review of building wealth.

And so on.

I receive lots of enquiries about gurus who sell expensive seminars and home study courses. I do not directly compete with gurus but I would like to give reminder that most of them cheat. I believe that many of them give real estate investment a bad name.

I believe that seminars that cost more than $100 per hour per attendee are expensive.

Real estate investment is the only field where even worst material can be most expensive.

There is a reason for this. Knowledgeable persons will not be ready to overpay for any advice.  Only ignorant people will.  So those gurus who want to charge extremely high must necessarily prey on ignorant. Since the audience is ignorant, the gurus in question are free to offer materials that just sound good. When somebody does not know about somebody they start thinking their price as value. That is, the costly it is, better it would be. They don’t think that others in the seminar can be ignorant. They think they are there because they think seminar is worthy.

Many seminar speakers are unethical. Their job is to find out how much money is in the audience pocket and how to get it into own pocket. They can put various color dots, which just sum up their investing power. Suppose red dot denotes $1000000 investment and blue denotes $4000000 investment.

The point is that you can often be bribed and made fool by various seminar speakers. Be careful. Otherwise a slight mistake will land you into jail.

Robert G. Allen (San Diego, CA) has rightly said, “Think twice before grasping any seminar idea. Make sure that the speaker is well known. Don’t go on cost. Go on quality”.

Being a part of all seminars is good but grasping all the ideas is not good. At first filter out the idea what are good and what are bad? Then only follow the idea.
