Always like networking with new people to learn the ropes of the business. @Shaun Armon I will be in FoCo this evening at the beginning investors roundtable meetup. 

Thanks @Mark Nolan I will definitely check that out.

@Desirae Putzier so far Fortune Builders has been a ton of information thrown at me all at once. Just the classes are more than a full time job. As I get integrated with the systems and everything I will let you know how I like it.

@Jeff Wallenius it is very comforting to know there is a fellow brother on here. Look forward to picking your brain a bit!

Hi there BP. My name is Milo Graham and I have been interested in real estate investing for a few years but never took any action until recently. I am currently a full time firefighter here in Northern Colorado and have been a firefighter since 2012. I got interested in real estate investing after watching family, friends and coworkers having to go back to work after they retired. Seeing this happen first hand has made me want to take steps now to prevent this from happening to me. 

My goal is to acquire rental properties for passive income to supplement my income. I have been doing a lot of reading and research along with also following threads on BP. I think I jumped a little to soon and went out purchased and joined Fortune Builders. That was a heavy investment so we will see if it pays off down the road. I look forward to getting to talk to you all and learn many different things along the way!!!

@Tyler Jahnke thanks for sharing your experience with Morris Invest. Your post were very helpful and cleared a lot of questions and concerns for myself. 

I found there podcasts a month or so ago and became interested in there process as I am a brand new investor myself. I have not done a single deal, but I have landed a few phone calls off of some of my marketing. I scheduled a call with Morris Invest which was done today. I to talked with Larry as a bunch of people have seemed to. On our phone call a few red flags popped up and became very concerning. I was curious if any of you guys on this post remember where Larry said he was from? On our call he called in from a local Colorado phone number and told me he was based out of Pueblo, CO. That interested me right away because I use to work and live there (though Larry did not know that). When I asked where he was located in Pueblo he stumbled to give me an answer and then stated right in the middle of town. He then threw out an intersection that doesn't even exist in Pueblo. 

As the phone call came to the end he asked if I had any questions. I asked the standard questions everyone else seemed to ask... how do you make money buying a house rehabbing it and selling it for 35-50k? He said they acquire most houses for around 5K do they make instant money. When I asked about what kind of renters they would get he stated the houses were in B- to C neighborhoods and they get long lasting renters in who treat the properties as if they owned it. It was stated the ranters they fill with plant flowers and keep the property up so it is maintenance free for 15+ years. 

After talking with Larry he really made me nervous about the whole process and second guessing myself. He closed with saying in June they will start offering properties in North Carolina. I was just curious if this is how everyones call went. Larry did not do a very good job at trying to get me interested in the program. He actually pushed me away.
