Has anyone done Jerry Norton's Fast Track Program?
Hello everyone!
I wanted to ask if anyone has participated in Jerry Norton's Fast Track Program. I applied just to see what would happen and got called back for two phone interviews about it and just wanted to see if anyone has experience with this and if it is a legit program.

Thanks!

Gerald....I'm considering the same. Curious what you have found out about the program and if you decided to join?
Thanx Brian.

Hey Brian,
So I got a call last Saturday and did a phone interview for about an hour.
They had me fill out a questionnaire regarding what My values were and what are my 3 month, 6 month, 12 month goals for real estate and what were my financial goals as well.
Then they asked me about my lines of credit and and how much I have saved up towards starting my business including savings and current 401k etc.
They stated they did not want account information or anything like that, it was for them to get an idea on how they can tailor the course according to the resources i have (felt a little weird about that) but still continued.
Last question of the interview they stated in order to work with Jerry in partnership and be part of his network, they asked if I was willing to liquidate every penny I had in order to break into this opportunity working hand in hand.
I hesitantly replied yes, and they said I will be having a second interview this coming week with Jerry’s direct partner to go over details and to see if I qualify.
Then if only then if I am 100% to go into the program I will go from there.
At least that’s what they have said.
I’ll keep this up to date after the 2nd interview and see how it goes.

Hi! just checking to see how the second call went? Did you decide to go through with it?
@Gerald Perez
All these people are just vultures trying to get your money.
You don't need any of them, all you need is perseverance and confidence.
Thanks brotha for the input!
Yea I’m learning that now totally still moving forward with confidence and perseverance.
@Gerald Perez
So what ended up happening after the second call? Did they ask for you to buy in and did you do it?

they are simply trying to get a read on how much they can get out of you for the cost of the education.. you have to look at logic.. a first class investors does not need first time investors in their group.. they only do that when its a profit center up front.
Im going to sign up. I'll keep you updated.
Curious to any updates on input regarding this program, including cost..
I just got off the phone from my second interview and asked for 24 hours to make a decision.
I'm curious if anyone has gone through the program and are willing to give this thread an update.
I find it odd that there are no real reviews on his Fast Track program whereas if it worked as well as they say then there would be a ton of content regarding it.

Was wondering if any had any experience with this program. What intrigued me the most about it was the mentor aspect. All the course work can be found online. There has got to be someone out there that has done it or have gone through the interview process and received an offer.

an offer for what ?
Quote from @Jay Hinrichs:An offer to be apart of the program. There is a fee to join but I was under the impression that there are only a certain amount of spots available.

I suspect the only barrier for entry is the lack of funds.. if you have the funds I suspect you can join if you wish.. there are some high level masterminds where it is invitation only those exist. However those that get invited to those are not beginners in the industry they are already well established or generally established and conversant in RE.

And surely only for a "limited time", lol.
@Chris Parsons Hey brotha I didn't go through with it.
It is just a way for you to pay for knowledge you can obtain on your own. Since then I've gone through the weeds and purchased my first flip 3 months ago and currently working on my first brrr
Save your money or partner up with people and self-educate. The best thing you can do and obviously hang out here on bigger pockets with like-minded folks :) and go to events and meet people!
So I tried Jerry Norton’s fast track program. It cost me 6k and his program includes his software where you can search for properties listed at under market value based on square footage. You have to call listing agent or owner and negotiate a price you can buy at a deal, usually 65-70% of retail price. He also includes a deal analyzer, contracts, one on one support and zoom calls once a week where you can ask questions. Jerry Norton will personally buy properties that you get that meet his requirements for 10k. As many as you can find. Keep in mind it’s not easy to find these deals. Overall It’s a great program and all of his staff are very professional. I decided it wasn’t the right time for me to join and I got a full refund (must cancel within 3 days). Upon cancellation I cannot rejoin for 12 months. This program will give you all the tools you need to wholesale, but it is NOT EASY! YOU have to put in the work and YOU are accountable for not succeeding. Nothing about this program is a scam. It’s a quality program and I wanted to leave this honest review because I could not find one before I joined. I hope this helps someone.
Sincerely,
Matt
Matt if you quit the program within 3 days maybe you're not the best judge of how quality the program is. Hopefully someone who has gone through the program and done deals using it can chime in.
I'm consistently amazed/surprised that almost NO ONE ever who has actually bought into one of these programs actually comes back on BP and gives us their real life experience. I agree with Nick's post about the lack of value of a post from someone who got a refund. I am like a lot of folks on this thread who are considering buying into Jerry Norton's program and would sincerely appreciate some real feedback!
Quote from @Robert Burns:How much is his? I am like you and want people to tell us the real deal. I also want transparency on the actual costs.

I paid $7995 for the "Fast Track" program, previously paid $1k for proof of funds and to "use" their companies "Proof of Funds" which I now know is not a valid/legal contract unless it was written and signed off by an attorney. An individual cannot write a contract without a license to practice law!!! (JLN Group LLC .... now mainly in Puerto Rico) and $100 for skip-tracing on their Flipster platform which was really old-looking and some things not said disclosed openly in layman's terms can get someone in trouble such as cold-calling the Do-Not-Call registry
etc... . eHomeFacts Inc. and JLH Capital Partners are both correct. I stayed in the program and I regret it. I was told on the phone by John I would have an extra 6 months of Flipster since I was already recently enrolled in another program, everything was done over the phone and I felt like I was being pushed to sign the documents under duress. Turns out the program didn't serve me well at all, I was kicked out of the Flipster software with my leftover unused credits still in there and halfway through the time I was promised I would have access over the phone by John. I feel deceived and misled. The costs are exorbitant, like imagine paying $80 for just one 16oz. bottle of water. That's exactly how it was/is. I have more value out of my $1k sales agent re license courses than the Fast Track Program! I now know my rights as a consumer and the most basic laws in Real estate, I know the contract they had me sign is invalid since I was under duress to sign the document and start the "program" which I could've easily just watched his YouTube for FREE. Jerry Norton (Jarod Lee Norton) is somewhat half the time not there for the weekly zoom calls and Nathan Payne fills in for him. This program at most was worth maybe $300 to me. I saw something much later in the contract they had me sign under duress "ASAP" because spots are "Limited" etc.. they have you sign that you can't talk about your results if it could have "future participants no longer wish to join the program". Well I'm just stating the facts of my experience, which as a consumer and citizen of the United States of America, I have the right to free speech ! "Freedom of speech is a principle that supports the freedom of an individual or a community to articulate their opinions and ideas without fear of retaliation, censorship, or legal sanction" One company or even all the companies of the U.S. (or territories) do not go above this right to peacefully express themselves! Freedom of Speech is a constitutional right!
Hi, I thought I'd chime in here. I have not done any of Jerry's programs, but I do watch his youtube videos which you can learn a lot just from watching those.
I must say I disagree with this statement, and perhaps I just don't understand:
"...their companies "Proof of Funds" which I now know is not a valid/legal contract unless it was written and signed off by an attorney. An individual cannot write a contract without a license to practice law!!!..."
Hogwash, individuals write contracts all the time. Real estate agents as well. These are not attorneys. There is nothing wrong with writing a legally binding contract to sell or purchase a piece of real estate using a contract written at the kitchen table. Further, you can act on your own behalf or on behalf of an LLC and use that LLC's proof of funds (providing you are the owner or authorized to do so). I have personally made HUNDREDS of offers on properties over the years and only used attorneys when required for closing or for litigation. I've used LOI (Letter of intent), I've used home drafted word documents, I've used CAR (California Association of Realtor) offer forms etc. Any one of those can work to get you into escrow or "under contract" so you can then get the closing attorney/escrow/title or what have you (depending on jurisdiction) involved. That said, if this is a particularly complex deal, get an attorney to review if you like, but don't assume you can't be a real estate investor without an attorney drafting every purchase contract.

Maybe you haven't gotten in trouble yet because you've been able to perform on the contract with little to no pushback, just lucky up until now. I am taking Champions real estate agent license course for Texas and explicitly states that only someone with a license to practice law can write contracts. It's a fact not an opinion. Go ahead and do whatever you want, but these are the rules I have learned in the state of Texas. I'm not talking about filling in the spaces in contracts, I'm talking about writing what is legal in a contract vs. what is not, which only someone licensed to practice law would know as a fact & have precedence over creating the structure of such contract. I am not talking about verbal offers either, I'm talking about the "Four corners rule" with ink to paper (or via the internet/Docusign) I'm not going to waste my time telling every little detail of the law of contracts here in the state of Texas & Federal law, you can get into class for a real estate license in your states you practice in and learn yourself.
Also you watch FREE VIDEOS that has nothing to say about actually paying to be in the fast track PROGRAM. which is basically no different than what is offered for free and that is just ridiculously manipulative. We don't know really what we are getting into until we really see how everything works, wait for the first zoom meeting etc... Then you find out it's not what you were looking for at all.
if you don't agree, go ahead and join. You'll know for yourself.
Quote from @Lucianna Winger:Appreciate your comment Lucianna, I decided to not go with the program because of the pressure I was feeling during the call to sign up and the lack of information regarding the program's quality. In my mind $8k is more money than I'm willing to gamble with and the course felt like too much of a gamble (let's put it this way.. I lost $50 playing blackjack and safe to say I won't be playing black jack again anytime soon). I decided to go with someone I met through networking who has taught me how to flip auction properties and I'm stoked to say my friend and I partnered up and are closing on two houses in Ohio next week! I find his YT content to be helpful and obviously the strategy he claims to be teaching has worked for him but I'm happy with my decision to go a different route.

Sorry I just read your first paragraph and felt compelled to respond immediately. I have a law degree and you, my friend, have been misled. ANYBODY CAN WRITE A CONTRACT.
in fact, depending on the circumstances, word of mouth can be a binding contract.
