Hey Buster.......... some people made a lot of money flipping homes, especially the ones that sold CD's on the late night infomercials. Those guys were sophisticated. They wore ties, they had big smiles, they spoke clearly, and they used sophisticated electronic devices like an overhead projector.
They were quite believable.
Although some were disingenuous about their potential:

I got into the business from Robert Allen’s ‘Nothing Down’. From there CD’s from Dave Del Dotto’s infomercial.
Good info on how to structure transactions in a creative way. Since then bought/sold close to a dozen properties without the use of a single bank.
I like working with my hands, so remodeling ugly houses was fun. Then moved on to taking over late mortgages on pretty houses to finally just flipping contracts.
Prolly invested close to $50k for all the various trainings over the decades.
It’s a trap to confuse the messenger with the message. Insights can happen at any time and even a homeless person can be a teacher in a profound moment.
In prospecting, one thing I did discover is the most effective way to get someone to call. It blows direct response rates out-of-the-water.
Yeah, that little gem of know-how is worth well over $50k alone.
