Russ Whitney workshop - should I attend?? - Posted by David
Posted by David on July 23, 2003 at 22:55:20:
Hello,
I’m new to real estate investing, and saw that Russ
Whitney is hosting one of his “free” workshops next
week in my town…
does anyone have any experience with his workshops
and training? I’m thinking of attending, but wanted
to know if it was a big sales pitch or pressure situation.
Thanks in advance for all your advice!
David

And sometimes, going to these ‘free’ seminars give you an experience you won’t forget. By knowing what is out there, you are more informed; whether good or bad. Sure, leave the checkbook at home, but it doesn’t mean you can’t still go the freebie to understand what hype is sometimes presented at these seminars.

Don’t waste your time, its nothing more than a sales pitch to spend more money, for a weekend, which is nothing more than a sales pitch to spend more money to go to their “university”…
Don’t waste your time, you will learn more from Carleton Sheets No Money Down course than you will froma weekend 2000 seminar by whitney’s group, and infinately more from spending $300 on eBay for Ron Legrands cashflow system then you will from all of Whitney’s snake oil combined.
To put it bluntly, there are some good Guru’s out there… Whitney ain’t one of them.

David, I attended Whitney’s free seminar several times and his 3 days workshop is more pitching on his coaching service and isn’t worth $1500 for the 3 days. I would get the same information by purchasing Russ Whitney’s books that cost less than $15.00!

of CREO, then got mad and grumbled about suing. We don’t talk about him here. Figure it out and make your own decision. Good luck.

David,
I have never been to the RW seminar. But from what I have heard from others that have attended it is not very informative.

it’s always a good idea to attend workshop. if you can learn one good thing from the seminar, you are fine.
i have been to Russ’s free workshop 2 times. Russ doesn’t have a really good reputation on his materials & coaching. i recommend you to go check out his products at bbb.org, badbusinessbureau.com, johntreed.com or just browse around the internet search engine.
the last workshop that i have been to*(in SD), his presenter gave out a free CD regarding how to improve(buildup)your credit. the guru mentioned a bit about how to use OPM to buy RE from the bank*(borrow 1k from each bank after you establish borrowing history).
apparently, they are trying to sell their one-on-one coaching on RE investing before the end of the workshop…
the first thing you want to invest is your knowledge, they are a lot of free materials in this site, those would keep you busy for a while.
feel free to email me, i can email you some internet links and “free” materials.
happy investing~

Check the archives, he’s been discussed many times. It’s basically just a sales pitch, you can go if you want, but I’d suggest you leave all your cash and credit cards at home.

Heed this it is good advice. If you still are not convinced go to www.jtreed.com and look up Whitney on his Guru ratings. If this doesn’t do it, I don’t know what will
