Investors United School Of Real Estate Reviews

I gained a lot of information, valuable in the Real Estate market. With this school, it is necessary for one to work hard. The most money/ deals to be made are in areas of the city that I DID not choose to enter into. One would have to have a crew to rehab houses, at a decent profit potential. If one has a job this can be difficult. However, the onus is on the student/ investor. I did not work as well as I might have. I do not put any blame on the Parish family or the staff. They all were very helpful. I sold my residence and moved to a non-commie state.

There's alot to read in one of the negative reviews. I find it very interesting that the author would go to such detail, yet not give his name. I've personally seen new members get leads after only one week in the school, and make offers on their second week. There is no mandatory profit sharing with anyone in the school unless the member agrees up front to partner with someone else on a particular property. There is only one group consulting class a week, not the 2-3 the author suggests. The author says that not one of the nine people in his group ever made money, yet complains that the school took 50% of the profits? If he never had a sale, what was the profit taken from? He then says the most that ever came of his prospecting was 'nibbles" but somehow someone else closed "dozens" of those deals. I've seen members make nice profits from this, but they are people who commit themselves to their own success. They do the work to generate their leads, handle their own negotiations, follow thru with their studies and come to the once a week class to ask questions and get help when they need it.

Pros: Office building instead of weekend at motel, library with computers for off hours learning, mostly friendly staff and excellent information on contracts. Cons: Will sell you your own dream, slanted towards those who can spend big and politely snobbish towards students with less money, promises of 'Earn while you learn' or 'Success Guaranteed' and offer to back you with their own money are unreal, no learning appears designed to allow you to grow independent of their organization, much of the information they teach can be found online. "I joined in October or November of 2014, excited as anyone of the dream of developing into a different way of life than working towards each paycheck. At our first meeting, the president, Ian, assured me that his observation of my confidence and attitude towards working hard would easily translate into a future of real estate investing. I told him I would have to stop working to pursue learning investing and would rely on the 'Earn while you learn' promise to pay bills, including the tuition for the school. He assured me that there would be no problem. The classes were good, often leaving me feeling like I've come out of church, surrounded by like minds pursuing the same goal. In class, determined to be successful, I learned quickly, asked questions often and applied lessons learned once home towards that first success that would lead to others. In prospecting for owners who wanted to sell, I tried every technique, reviewed my success and emailed Ian often to tweak toward my progression. I even found a motivated seller on Craig's List with a property worth a quarter million. One month in, even knowing I would split the profit at 50% (which was their way) would still yield enough to save my car note, my residence and my storage locker. They were slow to react on this but in class I quickly became viewed as the one who would do this. I was so strong in class, that the elder Mr. Parrish offered me the opportunity to become his apprentice. I had butterflies the morning he set for me to meet with him. On our meeting he shared with me the success' others have had when they took on the apprenticeship offer he was willimg to share with me. That he would give them one of his leads for them to pursue. Then he told me that this apprenticeship would cost only ten thousand dollars. An uncomfortable position for me, considering everyone there knew of my economic situation, considering I emailed Ian often on everything, including my financial status. When I told him I did not have that kind of money, him simply stopped talking. I lost my apartment, then my car, went on food stamps and continued school online until they denied my access. How much would it cost them to allow me to continue? I was never going to quit. Guess it was my loss for believing. I did learn a great lesson in that one. Devastated, I sought out the information online from other sources. Discovered many, like Master Investor Academy, that presents the same strategy without the limited information to control your growth and split your income. I liked the school and the people, but guess they had to disconnect me, as I would learn the truth at some point" "Overall, my experience with Investor's United was a disappointment. Appearances are excellent but, I think, most of that was me believing in me. As a perfect example of a student who could be held up as a model, poor but willing, they could not earn me anything and the guaranteed success never came to pass. If asked, I would tell everyone to avoid this school."

"In the last quarter of 2014, I sign contract to enroll in Investor's United, explaining that as an long distance truck driver, I could not work and attend the school and would rely heavily on the promises of 'Earn while you learn' and 'Success guaranteed' to pay for future classes and sustain myself. I did not need much. If success depended on working hard and applying myself, I was confident that I had the ability to perform. They reassured me that there was no need to worry and it would be easy. I was disappointed when I pulled back the curtain to find much fiction."
