Wholesaling Gurus

[Account Closed]

I have heard a lot about two wholesaling gurus. I'm not sure if "gurus" will be the right word. Usually that word has a negative impact when in comes to real estate. However, they both seem pretty legit and seem to be doing a lot of deals and growing their wholesale business big time. Their names are Sean Terry and Than Merrill. But they also offer mentorship programs (not thinking about doing them or anything) but for some reason I feel that a lot of people who offer mentorship programs are a little bit shady or make little money investing and a lot more mentoring (which should be the other way around, in my opinion). Anyways, I don't know much about them and would appreciate your opinion on them. Thanks!

Than Merrill is FortuneBuilders.  They are typical of all the upsell gurus.  They get you in with a free 2-hour "educational" seminar, using the hook that they are "looking to build their team" in the area.  That leads to a $200 3-day training program, which is essentially a 3-day sales pep rally, during which they try to convince you to "apply" for entry into their Mastery program.  The "application" and "screening" process is basically...Who has $29k to spend on this program TODAY?  Now, if you really can't come up with $29k, they have some "quick start" programs that can be right sized to your current budget.

I could go on and on.

It's a marketing ploy.  There is no real value add to anything they do, and you aren't getting anything you can't find right here on BP for free.
