Than Merrill - From Football Pro to Real Estate Guru?

I guess even ex-football players need to make a living, and Than Merrill is no different. After washing out as a football pro, Than snagged a spot with A&E's "Flip This House", a spot once held by Armando Montelongo. So, it only stands to reason that Mr. Merrill would also launch his own real estate investing course and seminars.

But all is not "happy, happy, happy" for Than's students, as many complaints have been aired online, and while the Better Business Bureau gives him a rating of "A", they have also issued a warning about his seminar.

You can go to real-estate-made-easy.com for an accurate Than Merrill review.

I like Than - our real estate guru review site ranks him #3 out of the Top 20 most popular gurus. But it is always a warning that folks should heed when any "guru" offers a seminar - seminars have only one purpose - to draw you into spending more money - a LOT more!

IntelliBiz does not host seminars. It simply publishes the best, no-nonsense real estate investing course available, complete with free mentoring - all for under $100. No monthly fees or hidden charges.

And it has a BBB rating of "A+" (and no BBB warnings).

Can You Pick Up The Phone & Talk To Your Guru, Personally?

 

 

Are you paying big bucks to be "mentored" in your real estate career? Or do you plan to? If the answer is yes, can you just pick up the phone and talk to the "guru", himself, personally?

I don't think so. Students cannot simply talk to Armando Montelongo on his personal cellphone. Nor can they pick up the phone and talk to Than Merrill, Carleton Sheets or Dave Lindahl, personally. But there is one "guru" who makes time, personally for students - Bill Vaughn, creator of "The Simple Man's Guide to Real Estate Investing" course. Bill has been investing successfully since 1969 and has personally trained over 12,000 "newbies" since 1989.

For the novice, mentoring is crucial for success in real estate investing. But not just any mentoring - the consulting must be with a true, practicing professional investor. Bill's students are all provided with free, unlimited mentoring by actual, practicing investors, and are offered the option of being able to consult with Bill on his personal cellphone each and every week if they choose. And the student will be speaking with Bill, not some trained telephone operator. Nor is it a "group" call - it is one-on-one, just the student and Bill, personal and private.

No other real estate guru makes such a personal sacrifice of time to help assure the success of his students. In fact, most of the "gurus" hire out their mentoring to a third party.  Such third party companies rarely, if ever, utilize actual investors, let alone the opportunity to talk directly with the guru, himself.

If you already have a "mentor" that you paid big bucks for, I wish you all the luck. If you do not yet have a mentor, choose carefully. As is true about many things in life, not everything is as it appears. Just because a "guru" has high visibility, that does not mean you will get his personal assistance.  Only "The Simple Man's Guide to Real Estate Investing" offers that - and it won't cost you an arm and a leg. The entire course - the text, the contract software, market value calculator and the unlimited mentoring is just a one-time cost of $99.95 because the course is offered on a non-profit basis.

If you have an interest in learning how to invest properly and safely, and be provided all the necessary tools for success at a price anyone can afford, you should check it out.
