Is this forclosure class/seminar worth going to?

Question

Hi everyone,

I am very new to RE and just wanted some advice.   Is it worth the $39 to go to this class?  http://www.northwestreia.com/clubportal/EventDisplayNew.cfm?clubID=939&EventID=172025&mo=9&tDate=%7Bd%20%272012%2D09%2D21%27%7D

I know at the end they will want to sell me a lot of high priced stuff but I figured maybe it was worth learning a few things during the seminar.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

If you are a novice, then you will pick up some information from these 1 to 1.5 hour presentations (that precede the "main event" that costs much more than what you stated here) - but you won't really learn enough to actually do much with that information.  If you are already doing deals and buying foreclosures, it's probably going to be a waste of your time (unless you are simply looking to network with other investors while there).

Like Steve said, probably a waste of time! Attending some foreclosures in your area will probably benefit you more. And, as Steven mentioned, you can always go to these to find the newbies for investing. As a mortgage guy, I went to one on buying notes and gave a dozen people a better deal in the parking lot!  :)

Jon mad a great point, if you go, take $5 and leave the credit cards at home!!! These guys are slicker than a vacume cleaner salesman.

Thanks for the advice guys.  Sounds like I should go.

And yes I am prepared for the "hard sell" at the end.  Trust me I won't be buying anything!

Tony is a guru from Atlanta.  He's pretty well-respected down here, but you can be certain that these days, he makes his money selling information -- not investing in real estate.

Be prepared for the hard sell on many more expensive courses and seminars of his...

For $39 what do you have to lose?  But rest assured you are going to be upsold.  Leave your credit cards at home.

I Don't know if this is a good class and I have never heard of Tony Youngs. However if you are new you will probably get some good info and $39 is pretty reasonable. It can also be a place to network and meet other investors.
