The saddest part are the endorsements some of the students provide which then validates these services to the next waive of clients.

Insurance proceeds are typically provided in a check that must be endorsed by both the policy holder and the mortgage holder. 

There's a ton of members where the sole contribution to these forums are endorsements of RTR.

Thank you for saving me from some unnecessary headaches.On that note, can anyone recommend/endorse a reputable educator with experience in wholesaling?

I don't know anything about their policyholder experience.However, every homeowners policy I've ever seen, even with a "home sharing" endorsement or rider, requires some owner use of the property. 

I definitely never endorsed him or gave a testimonial.

I think that Chat GPT hilariously acknowledges, however, that if this person then goes on to run for governor of Colorado, then, despite their likely lack of time and attention to the money I put into the investment, that they are likely to put up phenomenal returns as a nice bonus of either being in office, or being a threat of attracting any meaningful percentage of the vote in that state before dropping out and endorsing an eventual winner.

That points to how razor thin the margins are when dealing with these properties and how the smallest of issues can turn these properties upside down for the investor buyer but very few know this as they are posting ringing endorsements.

Well, it doesn't affect their name so they are more than happy to take the money and run.Speaking of "sales channels" and 3rd party listing platforms, etc...I've spoken to quite a few over the years and pleaded with them to keep it tight.As in, only endorse and sell in 2-3 markets max.As soon as you start getting greedy and expanding further you won't be able to tame the monster.We have done 500+ deals in Toledo and still get screwed by contractors to this day.It's hard enough keeping everyone in check locally and I wouldn't want to imagine trying to manage multiple markets.Even just selling in multiple markets without doing the full scope turnkey work is still a "no go" for us...It's just too risky from a reputation standpoint putting your name behind another product in another market.I have seen some decent sales channels, with decent ideas getting gobbled up by the monster because they didn't want to stick to just a few select markets.Just my 0.02 Aussie cents guys and I hope it helps you.Much success

Not here to provide an  endorsement or be critical of the lenders on this list but volume is not by any means an indicator I would rely upon when selecting my banking relationships.
