Has anyone used Alex Martinez's course? He reached out to me before he put it together a couple of years ago. He seemed like a standup guy. The program's pretty cheap, so I was just kinda curious about it.
I ended up purchasing the course. Here are my takeaways:
Pros
- Gives you every step from start to finish to successfully wholesale property.
- Training is in-depth and correctly sets expectations. What you put in, is what you get out.
- Connects you with a community of other trainees and gives you access to a discussion board with a couple of years worth of archived questions and responses.
- The deal calculator provided is super solid. I personally made some adjustments but overall it works well to analyze deals.
- The weekly calls are consistent and offer great support to getting deals locked up.
Cons
- There is only one approach covered in the training to making offers on property. Cash offers.
- There is not in-depth information on approaching deals with creative financing (seller carry, sub tos, ect.)
- The weekly calls are not always hosted by Alex, often it is various members of his team. They do a great job with basic questions but their knowledge, at times, can be limited.
Overall, I would say it's worth the money. If you follow the process you can make your investment back on one or two deals. For those of you who are familiar with how to open an entity in your state, how to stay self motivated, how to make effective phone calls, and just operate in a professional manner, the first half of the training may seem slow/repetitive. I am still considering buying Pace Morby's sub to training on top.
Hope this helps! Please reach out with any questions.

Yeah his program is based on using the MLS. I didn't sign up, but I talked to him for like an hour and a half. I didn't get the cost figure for the program (I decided against it), but a couple of things to his credit:
It sounded like, and this is not meant to sound critical, his system is sending as many low offers as possible to MLS properties. Part of his argument was that everyone thinks the MLs has no deals, but that means very few people actually use it, because they think it has no deals.
Thanks so much for the update, Maximilian. Trying to decide if I want to go into SFH or CRE. Looking to start first of the year. If I sign up with Alex, I will keep you posted. He is in San Diego and I used to live there for 20+ years, so I am familiar with that market.
@Byron Butler Did you ever purchase the course? If so how was it?
@Byron Butler Hope all is well.Have you bought the course? If so can you please give me the review
The course is $4,800. I think you could teach yourself personally how to do everything "needed" to wholesale houses from the MLS on YouTube for free. I haven't taken the course I just know the pricing and listened to what they offer.
-You're welcome
Yes its 4800 for the full system plus one on ones with Alex or 997 for the system but your on your own.
hi guys!
i have a vip call with Alex this friday and wanted to connect with real people who have actually joined. They keep referring to the MLS, does the 4800 give you access to the MLS? without a realtor licenses you cant go onto that platform.
$4800 will get you licensed in your state, pay for CRE tuition and a real solid RE education. Mr. Martinez seems to be another Shiny Object for investors in a hurry, looking for an quick fix and not willing to put in the time and do the work. Your time and energy are your most valuable assets. Forget the money, don't lose time or waste your precious energy on more gurus. Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach.
Has anyone purchased the course yet? I just got off the phone with one of his sells reps and couldn’t get enough information on whether it was worth taking the chance of buying it. $5,000.00 is a lot of money for a “it might work” chance.
yes the program is $4800. it is a simple system in that the object is volume of offers on MLS properties with an organizational scheme to keep the operation moving and scalable.
$5k may or may not be a lot of money. I'm sure they price the product is based on the potential returns if an investor works the program diligently. I have yet to fully work the program but I am putting the elements in place.
The Pro Wholesaler community is still growing. The group moved from Facebook to an app called Skool. The group is very active and can be worth the price of admission in terms of networking and JV opportunities.
If it sounds simple that's because it is. Simple doesn't mean easy - you have to work the system to get any results. The understanding going in is that you will be making A LOT of offers so get your affairs in order.
I was initially drawn to the program because of the reduced marketing expenses: it's basically free to submit offers on listed properties. Its up to you to get your ducks lined up and make a deal when one comes your way.
That's all folks.
Hey Everyone, wanted to follow up and see if anyone has actually completed this course. I feel like the guidance is useful but the price is now up to $5,800. Seems steep. Please lmk. Thanks!
The little bit of his content I have seen on YouTube I like it but not sure what the 5k will be paying for to be honest. Wholesaling seems pretty straightforward especially when using the MLS so not sure what he is going to teach that should cost 5k. Just my two cents as I have considered it as well.
the course is now 7800.00 has anyone here purchased it? Is it worth it?
So basically the Jerry Norton strategy (free on YouTube)

Hello David! I hope all is well. I just got off a call with a sales rep for Real Estate Skills and the program is $7,800. I see you’re in the group. How have your experience been since you’ve had a few more years in?
Blessings!

Hi Francesca,
I had a call with one of the agents today and am considering joining. Do you still think the program is worth the investment after a few months of being able to use it? How active is the community/coaching calls? Any insight would be helpful.
Thanks!
the course is now 7800.00 has anyone here purchased it? Is it worth it?
Wow I'm scheduled to meet with them this week. Has any recently bought into this? And is it worth it, and if you buy are you basically on your own?

There are better alternatives. Have you thought about Wholesaling using Privy as your source and EMD funding to help you scale faster using OPM?
