Thomas,
Congratulations. Stupid response.
I have recently ordered and went through Bill Bronchick"s lease/ option course. I am far from a beginner investor yet throughout that course I learned many new angles to succeed with lease options.
Perhaps it would be wise for you to do the same. Where will you be in November 1999.

I don’t believe that there is any one course that will make you rich. You are the only one who can make you rich! These courses are simply guides with alot of the tools you need to get started. You may be one of these guys who says the hell with buying a course, and try it on your own. But, these guys who sell these courses
started investing in real estate when there were no courses to buy! Through their years of knowledge and attending the “school of hard knocks”, they have created these courses to save you alot of time, money,
and heartache! Oh sure, you will endure your share of hardknocks as well, but they might not be as bad if you do your homework! Most of all, you have to commit
to it. It’s not something you can learn overnight, and
do a deal the next day. Believe me, you’ll get more offers turned down, than you will get accepted. Don’t get discouraged! Keep trying! This is where alot of people make the mistake of giving up! You have to put up with getting doors slammed in your face, and a few snotty sellers who think they have the world by the balls! You have to be a player, a good listener, and
a good salesman! My suggestion is, choose which area you think you would like to start with, whether it be Lease Options, wholesaling, whatever, (they eventually are all linked together), and buy that course! Study hard, and don’t try to make a deal until
you feel 100% confident in what you’re doing! If you jump in to quickly, you won’t do anything but confuse the seller, and make yourself look stupid! I started
out with Lonnie Scruggs original book:
“Deals on Wheels”, buying and selling mobile homes. It’s a good way to get your feet wet because you’re not dealing with high dollar deals. If you learn to deal with the Mobile Home world, you’ll be ready for anything! It’s a “Whole 'Nother World”! Either way
you go, you can’t go wrong buying a course from the pro’s! Good Luck to Ya’!

Ben,
Thanks for the explanation. That kind of operation, on such a large marketing scale, is certainly not the usual story we hear. I wonder if they are willing to sacrifice some of the bargain (i.e. buy for a little higher % of fmv) because its made up by volume.
Regards,
Greg
