Infomercial Real Estate Gurus

We have all seen at least one - those so-called, self-professed "real estate gurus" hawking their real estate courses to folks desperate for financial security. Now don't get me wrong - there are legitimate, effective courses, such as "The Simple Man's Guide to Real Estate" by professionasl investor Bill Vaughn. But for the most part, the infomercial courses are very expensive scams designed to only make money for the "guru" selling the courses.

Certainly, they bait you in with "free seminars", or $9.95 for a CD that tells more - or even $39.95 for some basic starter information. But then they start pushing you up into the more expensive parts that suddenly become "necessary", such as boot camps, mentoring etc. - all of which can cost up to $45,000!!

Perhaps one of the most popular of these scam artists is Armando Montelongo, former star of "Flip This House". It appears Mr Montelongo will even offer something called a "bus tour", checking out properties. But at a great price!
