Hi BP nation,I've been a member of BP for over a year now and haven't done any thing yet.

I am sure there are some here on BP that owe it all to BP.. but just as many or more owe it to who ever they paid to get them off their butt and get going.. if that cost you 1k for Ben's course or a little more for a year of hands on training by someone like Brian or you paid 40k for a national brand training it is that step that made most take the next step.Along with the I want it now attitude of our current brand of RE investor and the age of the internet getting in front of people and enticing them with the idea that RE is the way to rich's and quit their job and spend time with the kiddos etc.
