So the power of BP is self evident all the time. I get a call from a nice guy today who happened to see a post that was indexed in Google from BP.

His daughter wants to get into flipping but wants to borrow money from mom.

A guru flipper ( I am not naming them ) was wanting about 14,000 for a program and then another 20k plus for the next level etc.

I told them to check out J Scotts book for the 10 or 15 bucks or whatever it is and also come to Bigger Pockets to sign up for free. I mentioned J Scotts website as well to look at actual deals.

It just blows my mind how people will consider paying 40,000 to a flipper that has moved into the information business. I mentioned they could meet a flipper locally and go to lunch and get the real data on the area versus generic info. Fells good to not watch someone blow almost 40k on nothing.

    Nice save! I can speak from experience that the information here on BP is vastly greater and far more useful than anything you can get from any "guru". I hope she puts the information to good use.
