Councial Glenn's Land Entitlement JV Program (Honest Review)

James Vasquez

Hello fellow investors.  Though I'm very busy with work, I felt I had to come one here and warn as many people as possible about entering into a business relationship with Councial Glenn.  Councial has been interviewed by several well known Youtubers, which is how I found him.  The interviewee's and Councial himself tout him as being a successful Land Entitlement investor.  And, maybe he is.  However, I found out the hard way, that just because someone seems to be a trustworthy expert in the field, does not mean they are a good person to do business with.

About 6 months ago, I contact Councial Glenn on Facebook and he explained that he had a course, but that it would be better that I join his JV Partner Program, where I'd get the course, and he would agree to work with me to source Land Entitlement deals and negotiate them for me. I would fund the Land Entitlement with my own money and he'd keep 30% of the profits for putting the deal together and mentoring me.

Problem is that after I sent him $15k via Paypal, he very quickly began to show me that I could not trust him as a JV partner because he would not follow through on following up/negotiating with Realtors to land deals that I sourced.  When I called and texted him asking him for updates on our leads so that we could put one of them under contract, he ghosted for 10-15 days.  He ended up telling me he had to "leave the country".  When we finally did connect again, I told him that I can't enter into a JV partnership with someone who will ghost me on a whim and who also isn't following through early on with their end of the bargain.  In addition to this, the course itself was very very low quality and he did not give me access to the entire course until over 2 months after I had paid the $15k...even then I had to ask him multiple times to give me access before he finally did.  The course itself is not worth more than $50.  

Long story short, I told him the least he could do is refund me half of what I paid and he quickly agree.  Weeks and weeks of excuses later and guess what?  I he never paid me back.  He just proceeded to give exclude after excuse, culminating in an iPhone screenshot showing me that he had $0 in his bank accounts.  I told him that if he's broke, he shouldn't be touting himself as a successful Entitlement investor and accepting monies for coaching.  He responded telling me that he has over 4million in real estate but no cash.  Lol.

If you're reading this and are considering doing business or entering into Councial Glenn's mentorship/coaching JV Program, think twice
.  I was told by another investor recently that Councial owes a lot of investors money, and that he's got a few law suits filed against him.  Not sure if that's true or not.  I hope my mistakes will help the next guy.  Integrity matters.  I lost $15k, but I could have lost a lot more by entering into a partnership on a large deal with someone who is willing to lie to me over and over again without remorse.
