Any experience with AstroFlipping?

Question

I am currently interested in joining the wholesale community and am considering joining Astro Flipping. Does anyone have any experience within this community? Would you recommend joining for a beginner?

I know this is a late response but hopefully others will see it in the future. No, it is not legit. I think those who defend it already know how to wholesale and can appreciate the few gleams of actual insight the 'course' can provide. My husband signed up for the course, much to my dismay. What was advertised as some magic system is just a bunch of video calls where Jamil and other 'experts' basically have a podcast where they talk for 3 hours, occasionally on topic - but more often about other products you'll need to buy to be more successful. The workbook they send in the mail is about half full of more like therapy sessions and learning your why, what kind of traumas are stopping you from being the most successful version of yourself, typical guru space filling fluff. The guys that work for him are idiots to put it kindly. More due diligence should have been done on our part but if you do a Google search you'll see all you need to. The method Jamil is selling is basically what anyone can get access to with the right connections and reading a few books.

Hey Account Closed - I've come across AstroFlipping, and you'll also find content by them in the forums as well. They've been around for a minute, and are setup like most other courses are. You pay a fee, get access to classes/training and you're off from there.

Depends on what you want out of it, usually people starting out don't have the thousands AstroFlipping charges for their courses. Like most online courses out there, you could probably learn things on your own just by doing.

What I've learnt is that most of the people that take online courses want to feel like they're doing something and be told what to do before starting their journey. I've yet to come across a successful investor that has learned anything material in any of these online real estate courses... it depends on what works for you. If you're the type that needs a structured learning process, it may be the way to go.

Hey Meghan. I am all for google searching to educate myself and reading books. Do you have any tips on what to search for and which books to read if I am wanting to learn something similar to Jamil's method? I have another course where I am being taught how to wholesale deals off the MLS, but haven't had any success yet. The appeal with this and what Jamil advertised is not having to call motivated sellers to close a deal. I get that is what most gurus teach that you have to do, before you can hire others to do it for you. In general, what is his method?

What are some easier strategies that you'd suggest for a person just starting out like myself? I just started attending meet ups in my area (ATL) and am having a hard time finding where I can help investors/ myself

Joseph Crunkilton · Answer

Account Closed mentioned, wholesaling is one of the most difficult strategies in RE. You need to convince homeowners to offload their property for under market value so you can make a fee. An actual investor is going to always be able to pay more than you're "offering".

It takes hours and hours of work or lots of capital for extensive marketing. People are successful in it but laws are getting stricter. There are much easier strategies to get your foot in the door.

Charlie MacPherson · Answer

You might want to research "unlicensed real estate brokering" in whatever state you're planning to "invest" in.  In some states there are just fines.  In others it's a felony.

No matter how you cut it or what the gurus claim, in virtually every circumstance, you need a real estate license to effect the transfer of a property that you do not already own.

Real estate laws are put into place to protect the public from unlicensed and unscrupulous operators.  They're there for a reason.
