I was at her last boot camp. It was well worth my money. I highly recommend her.
she's good. very detailed and well worth every penny.
I have attended several events where Robyn Thompson was the primary or one of the featured speakers. I am very impressed with her and the course she conducts. If everything goes as planned, I will attend her boot camp in April 2004.
Robyn is sincere and really interested in helping her students. She even partners with her students if they bring her a good deal. So spend the money if you are serious. If not don't bother.
My friend from Chicago attended the week long boot camp in CT and said that they really worked that entire week. So get some rest before you attend because you will be getting your money's worth.
Good luck.
Her boot camp is great ! Lots of information.
Thanks to you guys. I will take your advice

she is in mpls this weekend for a one day (8 hour i think) seminar for $99. i am going to that. the week thing is just too rich for my blood.
Let us know how your experience is? I am a contractor and have bought a course or two over the years. I learned a couple of things I hadn't heard before.
However I wasn't very impressed with the quality of the work she did.
But, her success speaks for itself.
what does she specialize in? What approaches does she teach?
she is the self titled "queen of rehab"
She is a Legrand student that has specialized in fixer uppers though she does other things.
i really enjoyed Robyn yesterday. The $99 one day thing is great. She covers buying, fixing, and selling. I'm considering buying her how-to videos - they were $395 there, but $495 otherwise.
My question,
If she has all the answers that a person needs to become wealthy at doing fix and flips why is she selling it to you instead of just doing it herself?
If all she has to do is read her own books, listen to her own tapes, watch her own videos and go to her own boot camps, she could avoid doing the seminar circuit and just follow her own advice and retire rich doing fix and flips.
Right?
The Mix of the World and the Phylum of Humans most strange. Seems to break down into the following.
Those of great knowledge teach and expound on the subjects of interest to mankind. Do not let them use a hammer they will hit the nail with the wrong end.
Then there are those who write long and wordy books, full of symbols and diagrams which when translated usualy describe an action first formed by someone with common sense or a knowledge of basic logic. Do not let them out into the world they will be trapped in the menage of their own words and complete nothing.
Last but certainly not least are those few giants among men who actualy do the job. They build the house, they negotiate the transactions, and decypher the codes and laws placed by other none knowledgeable persons to impede their
tasks Yah he can ride in my truck..
To which catagory do you aspire? Who do you think has the ultimate truth? And which of the above listed parties would you want to be associated with in doing the actual tasks out in the real world?
It is seldom indeed that you see the functions joined. damn I wish it were so.
Thoughtfully Lucius
Because what is harder... talking for 8 hours one day collecting $99/person(not sure how many people but i'm guessing a lot). And during the week doing boot camps for who knows how much per person. Or doing rehabs? Sounds like she does rehabs also, though. But would you rather get rich talking to people or doing rehabs?

Wonderful course, you should enjoy it.
As in most matters a little reserve.
Her workmanship leaves much to be desired, Her intrusion in design is primative and unprofessional. Her taste is in her a$$.
If you will but ignore these Few Minor aspects and substitute your own you will do well.

I have signed up to take her boot camp in October 2004. I am studying her home study materials now. I belong to the CT REIA group. She does free rehab sub group meetings monthly for our group. I decided to take her boot camp because it is in CT and I feel she is talking about my market. I expect that I will get a lot that I can use here.

Right?
I think you would do better to pick up a hammer and learn some basic skills that you will use rather than listening to Robin tell you how she bought a $750,000 house for $200,000 that just needed the kitchen completed and the builder ran out of money and how she put $50k into it and sold it for a $500,000 profit, and by the way, one of her boot camp students brought her the deal so she flipped him $100,000 just because she is nice.
When you are done spending your money with her, you are still back where you are today. Which is faced with finding a house that you can buy at a discount, fixing it and selling it at a profit. You still have to get up, take a shower, put on your cloths, make breakfast, and then...[ Edited by The-Rehabinator on Date 08/12/2004 ]
Robbin has done hundreds of homes. I have seen about 10 of them. THough not up to my level of workmanshipe she gets the job done.
I think that the work part on the home is the easy part and the one that anyone can handle. It is the finding the deal that is hard and knowing what to do once you have found it.
I suggest the Kevin C. Myers book Buy it, Fix it, Sell it & Profit..
THis would have saved me at least 50K in the early years...
Rehab is the most difficult part of RE in my opinion because a lot if involved. SO if you can get a leg up, I would gladly pay $300 for a boot camp even if you got only one idea from it it might save you some $$ Also they are great ways to network.

Confused... which boot camp in $300? On her web site, the price is $2,495...
Still gotta sell.
No matter how you get there, you have a fixed up house with a FSBO sign in the yard. Now what?
I found her "Retailing for All Cash" worth the $$$. Lots of good ideas. No exagerrated claims there. Very down to earth.
I have always wondered why these GURUs are out teaching if they are so rich. I guess I have no choice but to put myself into that position so I can truly understand.
I love this country!

I bought a copy of her boot cam material from her tha was pretty good and she is a nice well informed person. I talked to her on monday last in a conference call and she seems to have a finger on the pulse of RE around the country,
I think her courses are cheaper and you can find them used, Spend 2K? probably not.. Unless I was going to go out and do something afterwards with my new knowledge
