Re: Robert Allen Seminar
Hello All, I went to a robert Allen workshp today and found out the boot camp tuition is 3000 I have heard mostly bad stuff about this guy I was an original carelton sheets student from 15 years ago. does anyone have any experience or info on this guys seminar creating wealth in real estate? Thanks for any feedback.
SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!!
Thanks Everyone for your responses, I appreciate them.
I also went to this guys seminar 3years ago and they wanted like $3500 dollars. So what I did was take good notes there and I went to the local library and checked out all the books they mentioned at the seminar. I read like three books and checked out a Robert Allen Nothing down video from there as well. It was very helpful and I learn everything you learn in the bootcamp except it takes longer and you have to read the info for yourself I hopes this helps.
I went to that seminar 4 years ago. Here is my thoughts:
I took at and went into it as a complete NOOB. I had no idea where to begin in REI and did nothing but watch infomercials. For at the time I took it and after it was done, I felt unstoppable...I felt that I was going to use my sales skills and make a killing..well, that went untrue for a few years and I had more houses I found, but no buyers. They taught me very very useful info, but you can tell it was given to you in short increments making you wanting more(up sell?) But like I said, the info was superb.
Well fast forward to the present day, I have wholesaled about 3 deals neting me 70k in the 3 months I worked on them deals. Rehabbed 2 homes and rented them out, and sold 2 homes on a CD.
Along the long journey I took, I met and met and met people and kept communicating with agents and other investors. I would pick the brains of anyone I saw was in a better financial situation that I was..which was 99% of them. Each and every person I was dealing with fed me information I remember hearing in the seminars. I mean every seingle thing they taught me in the seminar I encountered by interacting with other people.
So to make a long story short, the info is useful if you are in the dark like I was...But save yourself some money (IMO) and go communicate with other people like what every one is telling you.

If you have $3000 to spend on a bootcamp, you have $3,000 to spend on 6 month($500/month) advertising and get a deal.
1) Buy the books
2) Join the local rei.
3) Buy the postcards
4) Go out to lunch /dinner with the local investors.
Stay out to midnight talking to experienced investors at a restaurant, then wake up 6 hours later and go to work.
