Just saw a commercial for a Scott Yancey Seminar. To get people to come they are giving away a tablet computer and some other stuff.

Interesting comment from Bruce:
"I attended one of these events yesterday in Detroit. Over 200 people in the room. Steve was the presenter and at 1 hr and 30 min into the event they offered the “deal”. Retreat for $1,997. The typical sell starts with valuing it at more and additional costs. Financing deals and spouse/family member attendance for free (normally $997). What completely amazed me was the amount of people in the room who jumped at the opportunity when they offered to refund the $1,997 after you close on your first deal. I think at a minimum half of that room got up to take the deal. That’s $200,000 in 90 min. I have no doubt that most will never complete this program. I don’t know if it’s a scam or MLM or whatever else we can call them today but I would expect a lot more information and course outline before giving up $2,000. All course costs and requirements through to the very end. If you’re that careless with money I doubt you’re the investor type."
