| January 06, 2008 | | Believer in Russ Whitney's mentoring gives success stories | | Review...
Russ Whitney's mentoring can work. I've been a Whitney Education student since 2005. I've attended 1 3-day seminar and 3 concentrated training camps. This stuff does indeed work. I've completed 3 deals successfully so far. It would have been more by now but honestly I was so freaked out for the first 6 months that I didn't do anything! The first deal was a wholesale contract assignment. I made $1700 with NO MONEY DOWN. Yes, it's true. The second deal was about 3 months later. Another wholesale contract assignment. Again. NO MONEY DOWN. This time I made $8500. In the third deal, I contracted a house in excellent condition in Austin, Texas that appraised at $103K for $70K. I financed $78K through my mortgage broker (who I met at a Whitney training camp) to cover some replacement flooring and closing costs. I moved into the house myself with my girlfriend. I own this house with a mortgage payment of $800 per month PITI which is only $100 more per month than I was flushing down the toilet in rent! In all I had to bring $465 of my own money to closing. I have a hard time listening to everyone badmouth Russ Whitney, when quite-frankly the issue really is the closed-mindedness and negativity that most of these people bring to the starting line. I for one can testify fully that these courses work. I'm living proof. Each of the past deals were conducted with nothing but complete honesty with all parties involved. Nothing was handled or performed illegally in any way, shape, or form. I didn't break into anyone's house to check it out before making offers or any of the other nonsense that I've read in other reviews. Granted, a lot of the info that you get at the 3 day is a very basic overview of the basics of each topic. You're then asked to fork over a large sum of money to get the training you need in each topic. I do hate these "build you up to try and lessen the sticker shock" techniques, but honestly free advice is worth exactly what you paid for it: nothing. A good education is never free. If you are serious and committed, then you get more training and then apply what you've learned. Once you're out there marketing and talking to sellers and making offers, you'll then learn even more. | | |
