Has anyone purchased a program from Pathway Events and what has been the outcome? Speaking seminars from the people on HGTV
@Glen Frailey, aside from my day job as a Real Estate Broker, I teach a course I developed on Real Estate Investing, at the University of Toronto.
I have lost count over the years of how many professionals have come to take my course, and bemoaned the fact that they spent $299, $999, $1999, or even $11,999 on a "boot camp" or "intensive 2-3 day course" on Real Estate. I have literally never had someone, in 15 years, tell me that he or she truly valued such a course and made money in Real Estate because of it.
I'm new to BP, but recently went to a free Pathways event and thinking about doing their 3 day workshop. Any opinions on that program? Anyone actually completed it? Appreciate any response on this.
thanks..
What do you hope to learn from these seminars? In my opinion, there isn't a secret to success in real estate. Success comes from goal-setting, learning, and then taking actionable steps to reach your goals. Between BP, books, podcasts, and the internet as a whole, there is so much quality information to be had FOR FREE. Please be wary of seminars with "star power" featuring Joe Shmoe from the latest flipping show. Leave your credit cards at home and some learning on your own. Save your money to put towards your first investment after you educate yourself about which niche you'd like to focus your efforts on.
That's my two cents that I just gave you for free. You're already saving money.
Thanks for the reply Bob and Daniel. I read the forum posts about the guru scan trap a few minutes ago and it did open my eyes. Like any newbie, I'm trying to learn as much as I can before getting too deep in and hopefully avoid some of the mistakes that newbies inevitably make. That's how I ended up on BP. I like what I've seen here so far and will continue to thread thru all the information here.

like everyone above mentioned, you have more than enough resources here to get started. Having said that, those courses are fun, as it's great to be around like-minded people and get excited... I would just try to stay strong when they try to upsell you on other programs. Just go to network and have fun if you really want to go!
This is the definition of scam: a dishonest way to make money by deceiving people. What they teach you is free in the internet and ilegal to do it in Ontario. Consult a real estate lawyer, your financial bank and RECO before you start this business. There are many places that you could network for free and I don't think I will have fun around liars and dishonest people. By the way, I lost all my respect for all the HGTV celebrities like Mike Holmes, Hilary Farr, Scott who gives their faces to cover these scammers and receive money in exchange by taking the money of vulnerable people like retired, laid-off and divorced people and make you believe that they help poor people by giving away or renovate homes!
Probably USA Private Money. It is real funding, but the rates are not always the best. Google it then go to the marketplace and you'll get twenty sources in about five minutes, SOME of which are better.
I've been where you are and I can tell you that although I appreciated the experience, I could have learned it all here. Advantage is that it takes months to dredge it all out here and it takes days to get it in seminars. Disadvantage is that after the days are over, it still takes months to understand most of it. I"m satisfied that I got my money's worth, don't misunderstand me about that. I learned an entirely new mindset and a different way of thinking about real estate investment, but there are other cheaper ways to do it also. It depends on the individual.
All that being said, I continue to reach out for education and learning. I'll pay $40 for a ten video course anytime, but multiple thousands are out. The smartest advice I've seen here is save the money and use it for investments. Works out better in the long run.

Hi, I allready let them foolish me and paid 350.00 dollars for great deal 3 day course. On the end of that course I learned that I have to buy now a 20,000.00 program to go on the next level because this course without that program worth 0. Paid 350 only to get a next level price? I didn't like to be foolished again. The storry starts teaching you about a three digit percentage of retourn a monney. My opinion is that the only one who wins are a pathway managers. Their system for me looks like "Get a free house with purchase of a half milion lawn arround a house" or "Get a free car from Ferrari with a purchase a 400.000 red Ferrari T-shirt". Anyways this is only my experience and if you really want to be rich in a short time you are more than welcome to try how this courses will work for you. By the way Pathway teacher show us a high 5 star rating but after I figure out how this system really works I didn't find any link to rate them. BiggerPockets were a closest related link to tall in public how I fill after all. My rating will be arround 1/4 star from a magic 5 stars.
Pathway and its associated HGTV hosts are all in the scam together. This company and the hosts need to be reported for traveling North America doing nothing but baiting people to spend useless money for NOTHING. Scam. Scam. SCAM!
They are "making the rounds" here in the Bay Area again. JUST got a call from them on BOTH my cell phones, They start off saying they are calling on behalf of Mike Holmes of Pathway Seminars and BOTH times they called they emphasized the words Holmes and Pathway. It is NOT a coincidence they emphasize those two words because if you only focus on those two words it is very easy to think....I'll do a quick search on the Internet for "PATHWAY HOMES" or "HOMES PATHWAY". If you do this you will see some pretty good stuff regarding Fannie Mae and HUD Foreclosure Homes and it is VERY conceivable to think they are affiliated with this. Do Not be Fooled.
Since it's a recorded line I asked the person over the phone if they were affiliated with Fannie Mae and HUD Foreclosures and PATHWAY HOMES and (To her credit) she said no, but they do come across some HUD homes from time to time.
Stay AWAY..................Pay $300 for a weekend, then pay $5,000 for the good stuff at another weekend, then pay $25,000 for the REAL Seminar.......
Or you can get the info you really need right here at BP for free.....or at least pretty close to free...
Response, Cash Flow education is a Scam through and through.
My wife and I purchased the REI program through Pathway events and Cashflow Education, Response and whatever other names they are using, in Victoria BC. They put a big HGTV star to promote it our was Brian Baeumler. To make a long story short we, and ever other Canadian that took the same crse are disgusted that these people are aloud to operate in Canada especially since 90 percent of what they offer are not applicable to canadians ,i.e the so called investing in Government buildings, the use of their money so you can wholesale without using your own money, the high rate of return on foreclosed properties, everything they promised was either not available or had been overstated. During the crse, which is more a motivational speaker to pump you up get you excited and saying yes they then hit you with the incredible offer that you can only take advantage of today or you won,t have the chance. Then while you are all excited and happy they get you fill out the "how we did survey"which when we filled it out was befor we tried to put their practices to use. They will then bring up this 4.8 star rating you gave them to say," well according to your survey you loved it so we will not be giving your money back. Then once you have paid the 25000 USD for the diamond Elite Package they say will teach you to be a Real estate guru. and get you on your way. They say, hey pretty hard to get things going isnt it, how about the Super advance crse for another $10000- $16000 we will do everything. And that is the way they will continue. More training more money. The point being this is just like The Trump University Scandel.
They promise the world, tell you max you to max out your credit cards to pay them and then only give you some of what was promised.
In closing I would be happy to talk with anyone who is thinking of giving their money to these Swindlers. Stay away from, RESPONSE, Cashflow education ect. If you Google them and their home offices are in Utah stay away.
Be wary,

i just signed up with these people on Saturday. It sounded really good but I don't like the idea of taking $1000 from me and giving me the impression that their going to give me all the information to get me started. If they are going to charge thousands of dollars and push me to Max my cards, I want a refund!
Hi Lauren,
I know it’s been years later and just seeing if you can update me on what ending up happening with this real estate investing thing.
I am just bringing it up because I did go to the 2015 event in Edmonton and got to meet Mike Holmes and thankfully I didn’t have enough money to pay for these classes, but I just don’t understand in the first place way Mike was there and I was so confused about the whole thing and now the internet and instagram scammers are posting untruthful stories about him because scammers are all making trying to scam people using his face through bitcoin era company. So my question is back then in 2015 was Mike working with these scammers who were promoting this real estate investing scam??
