Talk me out of this course

I'm real close to purchasing this educational package:

http://www.dodeals.com/order/RealEstateREVolutionSystem.php

Who can give me good reasons why I should not? Of course, first hand experiences would be best.

I'm a fairly new investor though I have owned several rental properties over the years, mostly homes that I moved out of and decided to rent for a while before selling. Most recently I purchased a home at auction strictly for investment purposes.

My goal is to earn enough to replace my corporate job income and to build some retirement wealth.

For the last several months I've been listening to lots of podcasts and webinars (guru sales pitches). Phil Grove's system has been the most appealing to me.

I may also be looking for a local mentor. Someone in the Charlotte, NC area. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob

Tom,
I don't think the lack of investing in education is the common denominator among those who have never taken action. I don't know the stats but many who "invest" in RE education have never done a deal. Someone was telling me about Nouveau Riche and how very few of their "students" actually make money on their own through RE. Most of them go on in the marketing side of the "business" and sell courses. Some do “deals†through NR??????

Sad but true. Most people will not do a deal because they allow their fear to get in the way of taking action.
