Chris,

What I find most interesting about this email is that not that long
ago you were in the promotion business selling other "guru’s" courses to
your list.  You didn’t seem to have a problem with them then.  You
even admitted to promoting one guru that you knew had a terrible track
record…

To the point, I have still yet to see you post copies of a single
check made from a real estate deal in all of the emails you have sent out.
If you want any credibility or if you don’t want to discredit Chico
you need to stop doing exactly what you are complaining about and show us
the money that you are earning from real estate or "virtual
wholesaling."

I am guessing I am not the only person on your list that feels the
same way.

I would like to say this right off the bat – If there is ever
anything I can do to help you succeed in real estate investing I am
at your service.

First, to address my past record:
As I mention in the email I sent out this morning, I wanted to
believe the gurus … Most of them seemed like good guys, they talked
the talk but upon further investigation I found they weren’t walking
the walk. That’s why I have jumped on the Chico bandwagon – he is
living congruently with what he is teaching. Every day of the week he
has deals working. He is active in TODAY’S market so he knows what is
working and what ain’t. Ask other trainers how many deals they have
going.

I have never claimed to be a guru, just someone who has a platform to
speak from, knows most of the folks who are out there teaching real
estate, and has developed a good nose for bullshit.

As for my recent record of transactions:
My house business was pretty much wiped out when Hurricane Katrina
hit my home town. Literally, my house business was wiped out
OVERNIGHT.

Since the hurricane, I have moved a total of 7 times. Kinda tough to
build a robust house business (in the traditional way) when you are
trying to get settled into a new hometown. Yes it has been 3 years
since that happened.

But imagine this scenario – you and I on the starting line.

The rules of the game: everything you have been doing to make money
is taken away from you. And by the way, the clothes you packed for
thinking you would go away for a weekend and let the storm pass …
Well, that’s all you’ve got now. Oh, and your laptop. Now go stay in
a friend’s guestroom for the next 2 months while you try and figure
out what you are going to do with the rest of your life. And since
you were an entrepreneur (you knew the risks), there isn’t a company
that can relocate you to a new office. No rich parents? That’s the
breaks kid. Not a ton in savings? You thought the money would keep
coming like it always had but good thing you learned that lesson now
instead of later.

Gun fires. Race starts. Where would you be in 3 years?

Thanks for your input. All I can tell you from my experience is
caveat emptor. Let the buyer beware.

And again, if there is ever anything I can do to help you succeed in
real estate investing I am at your service.
