Can You Trust Ron LeGrand !

By Hot Biz Ghost Writer

Ron LeGrand offers three books on real estate investing. Each of these books cost about $600, not so cheap. To help you out though, Ron does offer you the third book free if you purchase two of his other books.

Well that does cut the price of the books to $400.00 each.

Paying this kind of money for information that is readily available elsewhere does not make sense in anyway, shape or form, but people do pay it and are often disappointed.

I know I would be when I found out I could have gotten the same information, for free in a library or for a vastly lower price in a book store.

LeGrand, also, has seminars and boot camps, teaching "no money down" techniques, which have huge price-tags of $1800. The seminars are also part 'sales pitches' for you to buy the next seminar or course ,of which there seems to be a never-ending supply. Many customers feel the seminars focused even more on the sales pitch than on the content of the seminar itself.

While the information offered by Ron LeGrand is generally good, although way overpriced in my opinion, it's still the same old information as all the other get rich quick real estate gurus offer. Essentially it's the idea that you can buy distressed or foreclosed properties with little or no money down.

While buying a distressed property is generally a good deal, the problem is actually finding a distressed property and, after competing with other buyers, still getting a good deal. Every other guy competing with you over real estate knows it's a good idea and is looking for these same properties.

The real thing to learn is how to effectively find these properties before anyone else and purchase them successfully. Here Ron LeGrand offers the same teaching as other gurus many of which are outdated and no longer effective.

In general the gurus I do not recommend are salesmen, not real estate investors. Real estate investment requires far more than just sales skills. Telling people that you are a real-estate-investment expert, on the other hand, only requires sales skills.

The only problem with these "Real Estate Investment Experts" is that they seem to have overlooked that right now there isn't any bank or finance company going to finance property for "no money down".

That's how the U.S. economy got into the mess it's in today.
