My husband and I recently attended the Focus On Foreclosure 3-day workshop for $199. We were excited because I though I was going to get a solid primer on how to start with Foreclosures.instead I got a hard sell a la 'Time Share' high pressure sales.
On Day 1, they instructed us to go increase the limit on credit cards and our home equity credit line... Supposedly to see how easy it is to get money for your 1st foreclosure deal... But what they were doing was preparing you to buy their Wealth Intelligence Academy courses for up to $63,000!
We attended day 1 and 2, then came home excited but with fear of getting into $30,000 debt... So we did research on the net... And found that in addition to multiple entries on this site there were other sites that spoke of all the 'shady'things this company and it's owner Russ Whitney have done over the years... Goosebumps... So we never made it to day 3... Thank God!
The title of the seminar was 'focus on foreclosures' but only about 20% of the material covered very hi level generic stuff on foreclosures you can find in a $15 book... The rest was a 'high pressure sales' job. I think we got the $199 worth of info to get us going, but regret having spent 16 x2 hours of our weekend plus the 'vacation' day I took from work to go sit and listen to a sleazy sales man lead you like a "pig to the slaughter" onn how to get into $30K in debt... If that's your idea of fun. Then go fot it other wise steer clear.
