John Beck's RE Course
I know that this is a stupid question 
but does anyone have any information on John Beck's RE Course and does it have any good information on tax lein sales and is it worth the $39.95 cost? I recently went to an informational seminar where the party was selling a complete tax lein course for $3,000.00. Beck's course seems to have almost all the same info for, ahemmm, $39.95. Thanks!!!
Great point. Beck's program does have some good basic information. It does not cover enough to start investing immediately though. You will need to do some research on your own. Of course that is what you must do regardless of which product you buy.
It will give you a good starting point. Compared to some of the $3000 courses it does seem like a good deal.
I think all these products however do need some work.
I won't comment on Beck's course but I will comment on any $3000 seminar: Stay away!
Your $3000 can be a nice downpayment on a house earning you 10% appreciation a year. Why throw it out for information you can gather for pennies on the dollar and by reading through great forums such as this one?

John Beck is not charging $40 to get his course he's charging it so YOU can get on a mailing list. Once on that list you will be repeatedly solicited for "mentoring". That mentoring has no guarantee that you'll make back the $5,000 they'll charge you, just that they guarantee to walk you through deals. The "course" that he's selling has such minimal information in it that you probably already have as much info as it contains- that being to invest in tax lien certificates or by buying homes at tax auctions.
Incidentally tax lien auctions are about as propable as a blue moon. Yes some homes get auctioned off but they're usually owned by people who are dead, have no relatives, and live in such a hell hole that the rats don't even want to live there. Most people who fail to pay their taxes are also not paying their mortgage and if that mortage company wants to protect their investment they step in and pay the taxes. Most times the mortgage company escrows the taxes and this isn't an issue.
Don't be afraid to call a spade a spade.

John Beck...hmmm...I hope I'm not in violation but I was at this site recently....hmmm, and John Beck was on the list of "Guru's to avoid" due to unsatisfied customers and students.[ Edited by RE_DreamMaker on Date 06/03/2004 ]
