Courtney – my name is Paul Esajian and I am one of the owners of FB.

I would like to apologize as it is clear you didn’t have a positive experience with my company and the team member of mine you met with. 

I would welcome the opportunity to find out more about you experience and more specifically who you met with at the event to get some feedback. We train our team to follow a very specific process, but it doesn’t seem this process was followed.

Please message me through this site and I would be happy to jump on the phone with you. 

To respond to some of your other questions or concerns.

Yes, our educational company does make money and so do the three different residential and commercial real estate companies that I own and operate. We’ve invested in over a billion dollars of real estate and our track record is good. I am sure some people are skeptical, but when you learn how to grow and scale companies with the right processes, systems, and people you can run many successful businesses.

We also have been training investors for over 11+ years and during that time frame we have built up a tremendous coaching staff. I realize it may seem difficult to find quality people, but 11 years is a pretty long time.

La'Crystal,

Nice to meet you. I’m Paul Esajian and I am one of the owners of FB.

I would be happy to answer any questions you might have about my company or any of our programs. Please feel free to reach out to me personally by messaging me directly through this site. 

You should obviously do what you feel most comfortable with. Regardless of how you decide to educate yourself I would definitely recommend being patient and spending ample amount of time building your educational foundation before you just jump in. People often underestimate the risk involved in real estate investing and how costly it can be to an investor if they make mistakes early on in their investing careers. 

Of course, I am biased as I am one of the owners of the company and I’ve played a big role in the development of our many different educational events, online curriculum, tools and software. 

I would never claim our program is the cheapest or only way to get educated. I am sure many people will recommend trying to piece together information from different places to try and save money and that can work for some people. 

Doing this will definitely be cheaper, but could be a lot slower because in my opinion it's not the most structured way of learning or building a systems dependent business.

What I do know is that we’ve had a lot of success with our real estate investments over the past 16 years. In the past 12 months alone we have also acquired over $200m in residential and commercial assets. 

We've also helped a lot of other people over the last decade get started who have attended our classes through our various programs.

Feel free to contact me directly as my information is at the bottom of this post and I am happy to answer any questions.

I’m Paul Esajian and I am one of the owners of FortuneBuilders.

Todd I am happy to answer any questions that you or anyone else has about our company or services. Please feel free to reach out to me personally as I am happy to answer them.

Of course, I am going to be biased as I am one of the owners of the company and I’ve played a big role in the development of our 12 different educational events, online curriculum, tools and software.

I don’t claim that our program is the cheapest or only way to get educated. I am sure many people will recommend trying to piece together information from different places to try and save money.

Doing this will definitely be cheaper, but also much slower because it’s not a structured way of learning or building a systems dependent business.

What I do know is that we’ve had a lot of success with our own real estate investments and we’ve helped a lot of other people over the last 10+ years that we’ve been teaching classes through our various programs.

Once again, feel free to contact me directly as my information is at the bottom of this post and I am happy to answer any questions.

David M. – Nice to meet you.

I’m Paul Esajian and I just wanted to introduce myself as I am business partners with Than.

If you, or anyone for that matter, has questions about our workshop please feel free to reach out to me personally as I am happy to answer them.

Obviously, I am one of the owners of the company so of course my opinion is biased. However, I do think you will find the workshop to be of value as we cover a lot throughout the course of three days.

We do spend some time at the workshop discussing how our coaching and consulting can be of value to your real estate investing business long-term.

However, if it doesn’t interest you I totally understand.

I would never claim that our program is the cheapest or the only way to get educated. Many people will recommend trying to piece together information from different places to try and save money.

This is definitely a cheaper route and will be slower for most people, but also not the most structured way of learning or building a systems dependent business in my opinion.

What I know is that we’ve had a lot of success with our own real estate investments and we’ve helped a lot of other people over the last 10+ years that we’ve been teaching classes. If you go to our main website and click on "Student Success" you can see some examples. 

Feel free to contact me directly as my information is at the bottom of this post and I am happy to help.

Suzy - pleasure meeting you. I am one of the owners of Fortunebuilders and I would like to apologize as it was obvious you didn't have a good experience at the event and in your meeting with one of my team members.

We would definitely like to know more about your experience so we will reach out to you because we definitely want to hear your feedback and learn from your experience.

I also appreciate people's perspectives. I would never claim that our program is the cheapest, or only way to go, as there are many ways someone can attempt to learn how to invest.

I realize some people will recommend trying to piece together information by reading books, attending networking groups, etc. This is definitely a slower and cheaper route, but also not the most structured way of learning or building a truly systems dependent business in my opinion.

Obviously, since I am the owner of the company my opinion is biased. What I do know is we've had a lot of success with our own real estate investments and we've helped a lot of people become successful as well. If you or anyone ever has a question or a concern feel free to reach to message me through this site. 

@Alvin Frierson

Pleasure meeting you. I am Than's business partner and one of the owners of FB. I would be happy to answer any questions you have about any of our programs. Obviously, I have a great deal of knowledge about our systems, curriculum, and business processes because I helped create them over the past 14+ years.

I can also introduce you to numerous students of ours in Los Angeles who have been through our coaching program and are successful investing there locally.

I know they will give you a lot of insight into the program and our events. Also, if you are ever in San Diego, CA please feel free to stop by our real estate investment office and I or someone in the office would be happy to take you out to one of our numerous projects.

Obviously, I am biased because I am one of the owners of the company, but some people will recommend trying to piece together information by reading books, attending local networking groups, etc. This is definitely a cheaper route, but also not the most structured way of learning or building a truly systems dependent business.

I also think people often underestimate the risk associated with real estate investing as your mistakes throughout your career can be much more expensive then any investment in your education, systems, and technology. There is also a significant opportunity cost associated with not always being strategic with your time.

Also, feel free to reach out to me directly. My information is at the bottom of this post and I would be happy to answer any questions you have or put you in touch with students in your area.

Jon,

Nice to meet you. I am one of the owners of FB and am happy to personally answer any questions

you have about our program as I helped create it. Obviously, I have been engrossed in the business for over 14+ years so I am biased.

However, I am also happy to introduce you to numerous students of ours in Houston who have actually been through our coaching program and are investing very successfully in your backyard.

They will give you insight as to how they applied our systems and what we teach within your market.

Feel free to reach out to me directly. My information is at the bottom of this post and I would be happy to put you in touch.

Nice to meet you. I am one of the owners and happy to answer any specific questions you have about our three day workshop curriculum.

I think you will find the workshop to be of value as we do cover a lot of ground throughout the course of three days.
