    Welcome Julie, I came extremely close to joining FB.  They provided an ample amount of education, but when it came down to having any of their investors funding anything, I ran into a brick wall.  All they wanted from me was more and more money.  I gave them the boot.  This happened early this year.  I have since gone out on my own and now have three properties which I bought, held and rented, providing me with positive cash flow of 14%.  The market in my area is over populated with flippers and the stock of suitable homes for flipping is all but exhausted so I went with the buy and hold strategy, it is working.  Good Luck and watch out for FB.

    I hear what you are saying Phillip ... believe me, I was a skepticl also. But not any more! The FBM education and the tools and systems I have received and continue to receive through Fortune Builders is mind blowing and unsurpassed! I do not regret one penny spent toward my industry education and consider it as an investment in the future of my company. It's like going to college ... no different. I have classes, coaches, webinars, homework, all of it! And it saved me time and much aggrevation having their tools and coaches available to me at all times and not having to reinvent the wheel. Are they always selling stuff, yes ... but they are selling products that they believe will benefit your business. You don't have to invest in all of it ... they simply inform you what is out there for your use. There is no pressure. You can either take years to create your own systems (which I did in my last business) or buy into theirs. They have a TON to offer and I simply pick and choose what I feel will benefit me. And they do now have an investment company for Mastery Students to both invest through and borrow from. I am a huge fan and use their systems daily. I wish you the best with your company Phillip!

    Welcome to BP Julie. Sounds like you are all up to speed on your education, which is great. What aspect of RE are you finding the most success or difficulty? What's been your focus?

    I'm a buy and hold investor. I am also looking to find some properties to rehab and sell in the Raleigh area, but I haven't found any that fit my criteria yet. Or when I have, they were gone before I could make a move. 

    How bout you?

    Thank you Bryan! Our focus is to rehab and re-sell. We have been focusing on the MLS to date and are finding that may not be our best direction. There is much competition and little reno funds at their price points to do everything I would want to do to the house. So we are working with FB to develop a better marketing plan to find unlisted properties and for sale by owners, as those properties are usually more distressed and have better financial room for improvements!

    @Julie Baker I like the way you said that you guys give the homeowners the truth. Doing this really cuts right to the chase and getting your deals closed. Wow, thanks for joining the BP community.

    Thank you all for the warm welcome!  I am not sure I am following you @JerryW. I am educated through Fortune Builders Mastery Program, but I am not working for them. I am affiliated in that they provide my continuing education and coaching.
