这些谁经营房地产投资俱乐部都提出了重大挑战排队每次会议上发言。俱乐部通常没有这样的预算,使它们能够支付者,因此他们必须尽一切努力找到那些能说话是免费的。这必然结果在谈论正在考虑谁的人有一个具体的议程或者出售。这未必是一件坏事,你只需要保持者最终动机记住当你听游戏。
一些发言者都很好,他们的知识是很明显的。另一方面,一些发言者离开你抓你的脑袋不知道如果他们曾经拥有的投资物业。着力老兵几乎难以分开,从这些假冒谁是真正的交易。新手投资者可能错误地认为,如果有人说是一组,他必须知道的东西。希望他们将学习前,烧毁了这些phonies 。
我的主要目的,参加俱乐部的会议是每月的网络和连接造成的(见: 获得了最从您的房地产俱乐部 ) ,但是我不喜欢听到好主持人。我国当地房地产俱乐部有两个很好的合格发言者最近的会议。虽然很明显有资格谈论房地产投资,他们的风格和议程是世界四分五裂。

2008年5月在我们的俱乐部会议上,我们有一个发言者谁专门赎回。当然,一个及时的专题,我期待更多地了解。我已经看到了这一点和前一位发言者的发言后,知道他是一个很好的主持人,非常熟悉。后介绍自己,并提供他的背景,他公开宣称他的日程。他没有出售书籍,磁带或家庭研究课程,实际上他没有了这一点。该业务模式,他的公司是购买银行处(赎回)属性散装。然后,他出售这些财产原样或光照后恢复投资者在批发价格。要做到这一点,他需要两件事,性质的股票评级从银行和投资者出售给。
什么,他的投球是一个为期两天的研讨会上如何查找,购买和融资获取这些属性。他是收费$ 1800为研讨会的保证,他将退还你的钱后的第一天如果你不觉得它是值得的。接着,他花下一个小时的分享他的一些知识的。他是一个真正令人印象深刻,这是一场伟大的例子,你将获得在自己的工作室。他已经超过20人报名参加,大部分他们经验丰富的投资者谁不容易留下深刻的印象。

At our most recent club meeting we had another speaker with impressive credentials. He is currently featured on one the house flipping shows and has a real estate company on the east coast. The club heavily promoted the meeting because they do not usually have a name speaker and the resulting attendance was much larger than normal. Many of the regular meeting segments were cut short to allow this speaker to have as much time as possible.
This speaker had an array of tapes and course material displayed, so his agenda was obvious to anyone who was paying attention. He began his talk with his background in real estate and talked about all of the mistakes he made when he began. He kept telling us that he was going to teach us how to do this, that, and the other thing during his talk. I kept waiting for him to actually “teach” something but all he really did was talk about what he was going to tell us.
As the talk progressed it was laced with sales pitches for a computer program, home-study courses and his five-day boot camp. Some of the pitches were very subtle while others were blatant commercials. After 90 minutes he closed with a final pitch for his boot camp. The regular price was $5,000, but is you signed up now it was only $2,497. But wait, there’s more! He would include a $500 credit for your travel expenses and the first few people to sign up would receive the $2,000 computer program for $1!
A handful of people did sign up. From what I saw they were newcomers to the club or novice investors. None of the veterans were impressed enough to part with their cash.
The Bottom Line
Both of the gurus were qualified to speak about real estate. However their value was very different. One was geared to marketing courses and boot camps to novice investors. Those who sign up would most likely gain valuable knowledge, but would it really be worth the price? The second guru was targeting experienced investors with a desire to participate in the foreclosure market. I spoke to several of the attendees who agreed that there was definite value, but it was not for everyone.
If you are ever inclined to sign up for some gurus course, do so with your eyes wide open. Is the course geared to someone with your level of experience? What do you hope to gain from the seminar or boot camp? Will you be able to implement what you learn or are you just falling for a sales pitch from a smooth-talking speaker? Buyer beware.
The great difficulty in education is to get experience out of ideas .
