Has any one purchased any of these ? ..much some-more importantly essentially USED them. I am not the slightest bit meddlesome in any responses from people which do not have DIRECT personal knowledge with these programs. I do not wish any ignorant opinions of these. Those would be incomprehensible as well as worthless.
Sometime ago I paid for Carleton Sheets module as well as I had listened both great as well as bad, yet I’m assured which it is during slightest legitimate. I am usually right away starting by it. I’ve additionally looked during Matt Gillogly’s “Business Building Secrets of Renegade Christian Investors” as well as Bill Vaughn’s “The Simple Man’s Guide to Real Estate”. The reviews which I’ve review of the final dual have been excellent. I’ve investigated as well as discharged programs from about the dozen alternative Real Estate “Gurus” which were fundamentally scams.
I wish submit (success or failures) upon usually these. Again, I wish usually tangible knowledge from someone who has unequivocally put the concepts to work.. which have unequivocally put them utterly to the test..
The initial reply was just what I pronounced which I did NOT want. As I put in my question, such the sort reply is incomprehensible as well as worthless. Apparently he did not review my subject completely. Incidentally as well as for his information, I have the Bachelors grade as well as 3 Professional Designations. Learning from alternative experts in any margin is the fastest approach of
getting to the aloft turn of success but carrying to rubbish time as well as you do things upon the “trial as well as error” basement or method. That is what content books have been for in “higher learning”! Thinking such as what was voiced in which reply is all flawed.. I positively goal which the alternative responses will be some-more suggestive as well as valuable!!

If you need these programs than you should not be investing in Real Estate anyway. If you went to school and have some common sense, you will know that all those programs are scams. Everybody has their own style and it is up to you to develope yours. Be an innovator not a follower of someone elses concepts. Good Luck!!
I’ve used Carlton Sheets and the marketing ideas worked for me. Not many loans are assumable (if any) but there are ways around this…i.e. land trusts.
“The Weekend Millionaire’s Secrets to Investing in Real Estate” by Mike Summey is a great book…very easy to read.
Hi John,
I purchased the Carlton Sheets program back in 1992 or so and it is still in my basement collecting dust because after I read all of the stuff I didn’t know how to apply it. There is nobody there to hold your hand and tell you what mistakes to avoid and in real estate mistakes can cost 10’s of thousands of dollars.
I also believe that the program is not complete because after joining a legitimate program which I amnow part of I found out how much information was left out.
John, its the old saying; “You Get What You Pay For” There is a lot more to what is in the Carleton Sheets program but you will have to go through a lot of trial and error with this program.
With the program I am with now I have multi-millionaire mentors that are real investors themselves and I can talk to on a daily basis and get assistance with my deals. The training is absolutely well worth the money but it is a lot more expensive than the Carlton Sheets program but its well worth it and legitimate.
If your serious about becoming a real estate investor and making it a profitable career then I would be glad to give you more information and NO, I do not get any commissions or anything from recommending you.
This program can teach you how to make the money and how to protected as well. It will educate you on all facets of the markets as well.
If interested let me know and I’ll find out what is the closest location near you to go to one of the free seminars. I would need to know where are you located.
Good Luck,
Reinaldo

I have a friend who lost money on using the carlton sheets and the vaughn. He asked for my help – too late. But I still know in dpeth what his problems were, and why he failed.
His experience is that they are good as far as they go, and can give you general knowledge, but not sufficient depth, and not sufficient business nous. You can luck out, but you can fail miserably, as unfortunately he did.
So what can you do?
The best idea is to do a short real estate course, plus a real estate valuation course, plus read texts rather than popular books on these topics, and then you will have a broader and deeper understandign of what you are dealign with.
Also to somehow make sure you have a good business knowledge/attitude.
I dont know what your degree is in. Should you perhaps do some course in bookkeping and business, too? You centrainly need to know the difference between cash flow and profit. Also in how to look out for yourself. What about a short course in the law of contract and general business law? All these help.
I’m not saying that the books are bad – they are not, but they are not enough.
As you have a degree, I am sure you realise that a little knowledge from popular books that oversimplify the issue is a dangerous thing. You may luck out, but you really need more firm ground when investing so much money. Using the books above is a little like doing a ten hour course in French, and expecting to discuss philosophy and French literature fluently with a Parisian (in French). Sorry.
A good business mind, and knowledge in valuation, real estate, accounting, business law etc – not of course all degrees, but parts of degrees or complete diplomas. They are all helpful. You can get away with a lot less, but the more you know, and the more business sense you have, and the more creative you are, the better you do. Good luck!
I have had in the past, a few books regarding investing in real estate but I can’t remember who(sorry about that) They were more into how to write newsletters,business letters and such then really teaching anything. For me it left more questions then answers. When I went to apply what I learned it seemed as if I didn’t know or understand anything. Now mind you I’ve never been a real estate agent per se (16 yrs real estate, 4 yrs of Escrow and Title plus mortgages too) you would think I had a better understanding of how things should work. Now Carlton Sheets programs came across clear and I had just started to use his techniques when I had to abandon what I wanted to do. I also liked reading the Rich Man, Poor Man series because he seemed to be open to what really happens when you first start out.
Of course this is just my opinon but at least I tried a couple of them.
