Alan Cowgill and Private Money

Hey I went to my local REIA meeting last week and Alan Cowgill was the guest speaker. He is one of the gurus out there about getting private money lenders. Just wondering how many have used his curriculum and what their results have been getting private money lenders?

I never heard of him either Ember, but instead of spending $1000 why don’t you just go to eBay. As of this writing, there are no less than 12 of his courses for sale in the $100 ballpark. Some are buy-it-now’s. Here’s a link.

Many of these listings provide an outline of the course, apparently written by Cowgill, so you’ll get a sense of what you’re buying. Frankly, it looks like overkill to me. And, I find claims like “How To Make Your Phone Ring Off The Hook With Lenders,” laughable. But I also know this is a sales pitch and the information provided, if accurate, would probably be helpful for someone with little experience. There’s no need to overpay for any of it, however. True, you won’t get a bootcamp, but if the CD’s are as good Cowgill claims, you shouldn’t need one. If they’re not, well…
