Every one I’d have a 30min conversation with my coach, and based on goals and knowledge I’d be assigned various homework for the week which included reading this or that piece of the books that came with it, and usually completing worksheets that help you understand different aspects for RE investing (e.g. creative financing, etc).

All in all I can’t complain about the program as I learned quite a lot from it. Sure I could have learned all of it by different means, but having a coach you have to “answer” to every week is a big motivational factor to see your learning steps through. I’d probably rate the program 7-8/10 for people who are serious about learning the ropes. The “gateway” seminars operated by Tigrent on the other hand, are clearly a scam.

That’s why I tell people to stay away from these get-rich scams. Don’t buy their books, don’t go to their seminars even if it’s free. The only people who would come out rich are the ones writing and selling all that crap and they can be very persuasive. And the most infuriating part is how these marketers prey on the most vulnerable: naive, middle class individuals who know little about real estate and are willing to waste their hard earned money on a false prophecy.

And the claim that he’s “upset” by what goes on in his seminars is complete BS. He got his start doing exactly these kinds of seminars; he knows damn well how the scam works.
