"free" National Grants Conferences
Any of those "Free" conferences and siminars are nothing but a marketing tool to make money. They are not out to help you, only to help themselves. I went to this conference just to see what they do, and I wasn't at all surprised, it's just as I thought, "it's a joke" they show the same testimonials over and over again. They have to be very old by now. That CD they try to sell you at the end is worthless. It is not easy to make money on the internet now, times has changed. My advice is start your own "free" siminar business and sell worthless information, that's where the money is. That will help generate capital for your real business.
tm0101,
This is not the place for rants. I empathise with you. Many people go to these "free" seminars, and leave thinking the REI is a terrible business to be in. Stay positive, realise that there are good people out there (you have found several of them here), and that sometimes you are going to get duped. Chalk it up to a learning experience.

Where do you go when you don't have a 680 credit score and you can't fund it yourself and you know you can make money at Real Estate Investing.
You also have to disect these free seminars to get the best out of it you can.
I've bought CD's at some of them and actually got alot of info there.
Get what you can out of the GOOD free ones.
What type of investing do you want to do?
There are several types that you do not need a ton of $$, or decent credit.
Foreclosures are somthing I'm interested in.
