What's a good course for wholesale for a newbie?

[ericmedem]

LOL that's hilarious.....You found profiles that even I forgot I had.  I'm still trying to figure out who this "GURU" is your talking about....

If you see him, tell him I said Hi, because It couldn't be me....I'm just a dude who know's quite a bit about real estate and I really dig helping people...Hence the 800 posts...

With over 150 deals totaling  $14,000,000+ , I'd have to be pretty foolish not to pick up an idea or two that I can help folks out with.

But I'll give you the synopsis of how I got where I am since your wondering....

I started selling real estate back in 2002 I believe and started buying investment property around 2003 or so..

Fast forward.....>>>

At some point  I started putting together some wholesale deals....

Then one day I believe in 2007 I bought some wholesaling products that I thought SUCKED...

Up until that point I had always ONLY wanted to just be an investor....

But one day I was driving around in my car and decided to pose a challenge to myself..."Self, let's see if you can make an investing product BETTER than the two you just bought TODAY"....

At the time I couldn't website or speak my way out of a cardboard box....So I called a recordable 1800 number from my cell phone and pulled my car off the road and just started talking to myself in an interview type way...Saying things like "Most people ask" then giving a question that I thought most people would ask....

This went on for about 30 minutes when a very suspicious looking low rider pulled up behind me....Oh, I failed to mention that i was in my Convertible vette on a road where they found alot of people who "Went to swim with the fishes"....But hey, I thought it would be perfect cause it was quiet...Right by a river of course...Kind of serene, the perfect setting for my either dying or creating a product....

Well the dudes pulled up beside me and I froze, I was a bit pissed off that they were there because I couldn't pause the recording, but I was also a bit scared because swimming with fishes didn't sound like fun....So I said "what's up" and they were like "Great car man, then wanted to chat...Which I did for like a 2 minutes".....

Unfortunately, I didn't have a clue how to edit anything. So I left the 2 minute conversation right in with the my 45 minute mp3. No one ever said a word....I warned them in my extremely poorly written sales copy that there was a "Special bonus".

I went home and downloaded the call which by the way was only 45 minutes but I didn't know how to shrink the file so it ended up being like 400 MB or something crazy like that....

People who bought it loved it....

Since then I've grown my product line substantially....BUT I still make a VAST MAJORITY of my money in real estate....

Honestly if I could, I would give up wholesaling and real estate completely and just teach...Because I fricken love it......But it would be nearly impossible to replace my real estate income selling products...

At no point have I ever arrived at "Guru" dom.....I still answer all my emails personally, still take calls from students if they need help....

Heck earlier this week some dude who bought my stuff called me when his first closing was falling to pieces and I helped him put it all back together...

Here's the thing, I am an extensive learner...I read 2 books a week (NO FICTION), I study real estate, I work in real estate full time....

Getting paid for Teaching other people how to make money is the only way someone like myself could ever have the hours and hours of helping other folks out make any sense....

There's my "True REI Story"...Join us next week when we uncover the hidden truth behind "Carlton Sheets"...LOL

Let me know if you run into any more profiles I have floating around....But don't tell my wife about my "Russian Mail Order Bride" profile (she might get out the super glue)

I'm not sure what telling us you were driving a corvette has to do with the issue at hand. Maybe you should have just told us what year you wrote the Linkedin profile.

Hi Bird-dogging 101 by Barry Grime &  T. Lucier Pre-Foreclosures Investment Strategies. There are lots of other books as well. Read the maximum and question the maximum.

Dude you got problems Eric is the fricken man....I don't pay him $10k a year to be my mentor because of his good looks, I'll tell you that much....

He talks the talk and walks the walk....

What the hell is your problem anyway. Eric has proven time and time again that he's the real deal. He's given out advice on here and other forums for free. Advice that he could have charged for but didn't.

Yeah sure he has a course but so what. I have not heard 1 bad thing about that course at all on these boards in fact people when asked what is the best wholesale course out there 99% of the responses put Eric's course on top.

So take something for your PMS and stop picking on Eric.

Why don't you do yourself a favor and do a search on the forum using Eric's screen name. The advice that Eric has given to the REICLUB community has been invaluable. Self Promoting Guru's can't hold a candle to the FREE information that Eric gives away. He advice is factual, and he doesn't need to prove anything to anyone. Regulars to REICLUB  know he's legit and definitely the real deal.

Does anyone have a used Eric Medemar's course they want to sell?  I don't have much money right now.

Have you tried EBay?

Wow, glad to see some of my homeboys in REI are watching my back...

I'll do my darndest to stay away from being another "Guru" which is the last thing this world needs.

I try to let me Investing Insights do the talking for me, rather than saying "Woo hoo look at me, I'm smart guru"

I would prefer to stay with "Here, try this, I promise it works, because it worked for me and a ton of other people"

Then if you like the stuff I teach you....It's all good.

Eric
