Boot camps, good or bad?

[David Bowles]

Hi BP,

I am working to become a new investor and just attended my first real estate conference. After every seminar, each presenter was selling a different type of package, All different forms of training/mentoring.

If I’m being totally honest with myself, I wanted to sign up for every single one of them. I ultimately ended up signing up for none because I have read on this forum not to waste a lot of money on them. At this point, I have read probably 15 different real estate books along with listening to almost every BP podcast. I’ve been practicing analyzing deals, and would like to start planning to start marketing for motivated sellers.

Are these “boot camps“ worth it to a brand new investor? Please describe your experience that supports your response.
