From the Original OFP Infomercial Info page

Female host: Trisha Kara (reporter!?!). Nice-looking (of course). She interviews John.

John Burley appears to be a good-looking (no, I don't go that way, but if I did... ), well-spoken man. From my research, it appears he has a book out or two out there with good information. HOWEVER, now that he's joined the "Infomercial Brigade", what he's selling is a complete system. According to the infomercial, you can get into the real-estate business without having to use any of of your own money, and can make anywhere between $5000 and $50,000 per transaction. (This is the "Quick Cash" part of the system.) Then, "progressing", you can generate cash flow, again, without being a landlord (renting real-estate you own). From what I understand, this is a leasing situation, and therefore, you are basically renting the properties from someone else, and leasing it (renting it) to someone else for their use (or you are leasing it to them for the current owner, making "finder's fees".) AND this whole system only costs $39.95 if you buy it NOW (John makes the first two payments for you!).

This sounds a LOT like Carlton Sheets' system. The infomercial, itself, has elements that almost mirror Don Lapre's "Greatest Vitamin in the World" infomercials (two people, a good-looking blonde, and a smiling "big guy" - almost with the same haircut as the guy in Don's infomercial), alternate and complete each other's lines. In fact, I had to look twice to make sure it wasn't the same people, they SOUND so much like Lapre's spokespeople.

I understand that there's a full money-back guarantee, that may be a little difficult to obtain, but you can obtain it.

John also puts on a number of VERY expensive seminars, and some of the links below discuss them.

So, get hold of his book, if you can, but be careful with this system and the seminars.
(I doubt either of the latter would work for me.)

As you can see, this page is not complete. I have transferred the information from the old Infomercial Info page to give myself (and you) a reference and starting point. I used other Business Opportunity pages as a template, and have left bits and pieces of paragraphs. They may or MAY NOT apply to THIS biz opp.

The links from the original reference have been transferred here, too. Other than the link(s) to the product site(s), they have not been "categorized". I will also find other links when I get to the conversion of this page.

Once this page is complete, the links note (above right) will be updated, and this whole section will be removed.

The Infomercial

 

The Product

As with many of these Biz Opps (Business Opportunities), the owner/author/CEO/whatever has usually be extremely successful in what they are selling. In this case, xxx says he started out xxx, his business "took off". And then (of course), he learned an amazing secret that boosted his sales even higher. And he wants to share his "secrets" with us.

Again, as with others, xxx became the expert, started doing seminars, and writing books to go with them. He's expanded the books he originally wrote by adding new ones to the mix.

The package includes

From my understanding, most of this information is at least 2-4 years old (a life-time in Internet-land), and most of the details don't really apply in today's world. The principles, of course, are still valid, and if you've never done anything xxx at all, it MIGHT help.

There are also numerous sites on the internet with free articles and information to help you start a business. Some are xxx-specific, many xxx-specific. (See General Information (Real-Estate Investing) links, below for some of these pages/sites.

Product Websites

Following are links to what appear to be "main" sites for the product.

Reviews and Warnings

This section lists the sites where I found "negative" comments about the people and company, and/or the product. Some of the terms "sham", "scam", "scams", "flim-flam", "complain", "complaints", "rip", "rip-off", "fraud", "warning", similar words, and maybe just "review" were used in searching for negative comments.

WARNING: Be aware that some of the following sites may be attempting to sell their own or lead you into buying another product. If you consider their (or others') offers, at least do as much research on them as you would in looking for a new house, car or doctor before buying anything. Also, be sure to read and understand any company's Privacy Policies and Terms/Conditions, too. A "$$" indicates these sites.
