Than Merrill seminar in St. Louis.

[Jake Blum]

Hello, my names Jake, I've been listening to bigger pockets and Grant Cardone for a while now and am about to attend my first seminar on investing in real estate/house flipping. I've registered to the class in Chesterfield, MO on Tuesday September 12th for the 6:00 time slot. Just wondering if anyone else has taken this class and what I can expect for my wife and I. Also I was hoping to meet some fellow BiggerPockets members. Thanks in advance for taking your time to read my post and I look forward to connecting with everyone!

Over the past few years, I've checked out seminars from Rich Dad, Than Merrill, and Renatus. They all seem to offer good education, but you will need to pay for that education. You will not get it from a free 2-hour seminar or even a weekend-long intro. The best thing you'll get from some of the intros is a few useful materials that will whet your appetite for more information.

Your money might be better spent if you can partner with a mentor or coach who can walk you through your first deals in exchange for a fee. As I've said elsewhere on these forums, watch out for someone who is making more money from selling real estate advice than from actual real estate investing.
