Good morning sir,

I have a friend who lended me the cs program about 5 yrs ago. It lay in my basement for that long and grew dust on it. I recently had surgery and was laid up for a while. I work in the finish construction end and I know what works out there. The no money down approach is just a creative way to gain access to something you don't own. What you lack on saying is the owner gets his money, you get a mortgage, note you have to pay on, and so on. You just can't go out there and try to sell yourself. When I do a job, I sell myself to an extent, my talent is what sells me.I haven't tried it and not even sure you can. The banks I deal with want to lend money and that is there goal. CS wants to sell a program and that is his goal. He might be honest, I don't know. He is not here to defend himself. You should offer a forum for feedback for those who are successful on the CS program also, so we can have a 2 sided decision to make. Thanks Tim

I am unsure of what to say. It's difficult to tell whether Tim is telling me that the page was a good review or a bad one.

I know what the "no money down" approach is... My father was in real-estate for over 20 years, and owned a number of homes/apartments in the Lafayette area. I also had a real estate license for some time. He and I discussed this approach, and his thoughts were that there would be very few banks or realtors who would allow it (in our area).

As for Mr Sheets' honesty, I don't believe I said anything about that. I said:

From my understanding, most of this information is 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 in real-estate at all, it MIGHT help.

I also said that the mentoring company, who also handled Customer Service, would try to offer you much more than the infomercial says is required, stating that you will learn things that are NOT in the package.

Mr Sheets has been around a Lo-o-ong time - I believe his was one of the first infomercials of this type. The thing is all infomercials make it sound like it's so-o-o-o easy to make money doing what they suggest. My research found differently, and that's what I stated. I also point out:

Don't count on not having to WORK, though. You have to sell yourself to the banks, other lenders, and/or everyone else involved, and make them believe this is as good of a deal as you believe it to be. If you have ANY doubts, DON'T DO IT. You could be "stuck" with properties someone else has been trying to dump for years.
