I’m noticing a lot of signs going up on lawns, billboards, and such indicating something to the effect of “Real Estate Investor Seeks Apprentice - $25K a month”. Anybody know what this is about? I figured some guru came to town recently and this is some new marketing technique from his/her course or boot camp. But I’m curious to know what’s behind this. Anyone know?

this add is also on creonline, lots of fluff no substance. Just another person who couldn’t make it as a full time investor.

I’ve seen the signs. All such signs that I have seen have been illegally posted sleaze ball signs. That’s not to say that there are not legal ‘investor seeks apprentice’ billboards and signs out there. But I doubt there are many such legal signs. Consider the source.

As mentioned, it’s Nouveau RIche. I went to their free seminar. Good for the networking aspect (of the other lookie lous who were there).
I dont have a problem with their strategy of buying and holding cash flowing properties. But I dont see why I need to pay them 200 per month for “education” in order to do it.
Cheers,

I ran into that one a few months ago in Salt Lake City, so I called to find out what it was about.
It’s that Neuveau Riche (spelling??) again with their MLM system of selling REI “how to” information and expensive courses.
They fellow I spoke with seemed more interested in getting me “signed up” than he was in buying any property for himself. In fact when I asked him about his properties, he hadn’t bought any!
It didn’t matter to him that I have many years experience in REI…he just wanted me to buy his darn “beginner” course.
It was all too strange.
