Scott and Marty Boardman These Bootcamps Will Be Limited to ONLY 200 Attendees Each!

And I would think the speakers are more well known than most of the attendees.

Less than two days remain until prices climb to $250 from $200 for a pass to the conference.We're now over the 200 attendee milestone and I'm extremely excited about how things are coming together.I agree with what Will just said, and unfortunately, with what Nick said as well.A Call to ActionOne of the things that has struck me about the event more than anything else are the emails from people who think that we're going to be having our speakers soliciting some crap in the back of the room while on stage, regardless of what we've said.These emails are the very reason why this event is so important for us to pull off.

It rivaled Joel's symposiums in Vegas for the quality of attendees and discussion.

The attendees are just wanting to get it done, adn are on the cell phones, texting, checking e-mail, doodling, doing nails...and the instructors are just giving the answers that will be on the test.Obviously this is painting it all with a broad stroke, but I think you get my point.

The negative thing I have about REIAs is that a lot of attendees are beginners who claim to know more than they actually do.

Most attendees are rehabbers, not wholesalers.

RealtyTrac tracked foreclosure-related filings on 2.3 million U.S. properties in 2008, an 87 percent jump from the year before, with 861,664 homes making it through the entire process to become REOs.The Mortgage Bankers Association's surveys of members suggest one out of 10 mortgages was either delinquent or in the foreclosure process at the end of September, and Moody's Economy.com estimates 12 million homeowners are "upside down" -- they owe more on their homes than their properties would fetch in today's market.RealtyTrac senior vice president Rick Sharga told attendees at the Inman News Real Estate Connect conference in New York City this month that an analysis of 500,000 distressed properties in four states in the company's database found only about one in four were listed for sale in a multiple listing service, or MLS.That suggests that as many as 75 percent of distressed properties have yet to hit the market, Sharga said, and that many of those homes will soon be putting pressure on inventory and prices as banks repossess them and put them up for sale. . . .

In hindsight, I realized I had made several fatal blunders. 1) The borrowers(referred as they in this post) ran REIA, and acted as mentors to dozens of attendees.

The last time we met was at Starbucks and had few attendees.
