I purchased the package and the bus tour. For all the people that did not make money it is because you tried to cut corners. Armando gives you what you need to do it. If you have money or not. The Hard money lenders will take allot of the profit the first time to minimize the risk. They will take less and less the more you do.

We was poor in debt and struggling to make ends meet. Now we are worth over 500k. Not bad for 1 year.

It does work. You just have to follow the game plan.

Hello,
I am shocked at all the posts on this site. I guess you would all call me crazy, but I bought into the program. All of them. I have been intrested in real estate investment for quite some time and decided to take a shot at it. Education is expensive. That is how I decided to look at this program. It has given me Real Estate mentors like many of you, who have been in the business for many years. My purchase took me to 3 seminars which were excellent. I made some great contacts here in my state that I still talk to today. I have also attended his famous “bus” conference. 3 people from my original group also attended. There were about 500 other crazy people-all there to make a life change. Some will, some won’t- its no ones fault but your own if you don’t try.
It (the conference) was definately not professional (I was warned that it would not be). It was incredible, It was insane. Imagine professional speakers, midgets, marching bands, facing fears, late nights, fun, meeting lenders, touring homes- all in 2 1/2 days. Wild. I met some very fine people who are top professionals at this conference. Mothers, fathers, teachers, contractors, etc. We all have dreams. They aren’t all about punching a time clock.
Just like anything in life, you can make it what you want it to be. I choose to keep moving forward. Not to be like Armondo or his wife. Just to give my family a few more choices than I had growing up.
Every system has flaws especially when it grows fast. I see that they recognize them and are working to do the best job they can. My dvd pack with all the teaching materials $1000) was stolen at the hotel. I sent one email explaining what happened and they sent a new one immediately.
The support of the Armondo office is fabulous. The staff at each of the conferences I attended were amazing. Even gave me personal contact numbers if I needed help. I did. They were there. Are there.
Make a choice and get on with your lives. His tv show is crazy. He knows it is and that is what sells time. If you don’t like it, don’t watch it. If you don’t want to hold yourself up to the pressure of high # of sales then don’t set it as a goal.
Armondo does not work alone. You’re right. It is not possible. That is all you have taken time to see.
Let God be the judge of Armondo. No one has enough time to sit around and read garbage- do they? Do you?

I paid 1495.00 for the package and attended the seminar. I was under the impression that I was going to get a walk through so I would know exactly what to do. Turns out, you actually need money to get that tour.

I spent all of my money checking it out and didn’t get a return on that investment.

Imagine being surrounded by a bunch of rich people who should be able to guide a poor girl with a problem making money. There advise … move to a cheaper house.

Okay, Thanks guys … having to stay with friends now … is that cheap enough … now what?

So much for paid experts!

The people making money with Armando don’t have the time or interest in telling those of you that didn’t take the opportunity to invest in yourself how they are doing. I am on the team now, so BYE-BYE.

PS….I have to agree with Jennie G.

The moderator does seem to have some bias against Armando and may be selective with the “good” posts he “allows” to be posted.

I attended the seminar and the information and techniques that were taught were very un-orthodox, but I have verified the information to be accurate. I am almost finished building my buisness team and I still haven’t spent any money.

However…the marketing techniques used to present the seminar and bus tour are definitely mis-leading.

Armando needs to change the marketing techniques so that his company is honestly and accurately disclosing the information regarding both the seminar and the bus tour. While this may drive sales down, Armando needs to ensure that he is conducting business with un-questionable honesty and integrity.

While I have a lot of experience in the business world and I know when people are “toying” with language…not everyone has the ability or the right intelligence to identify when this is happening. Thus, peoples expectations are greatly exaggerated and the result of which are the negative comments found here.

I would have invested the 30,000 dollars if I had 30,000 to risk in a venture. While I did have the 30,000 dollars, it was not money that I could afford to risk so I decided to take the information learned at the seminar and get started.

The sales staff fully disclosed the fact that they could not guarantee my money back either on the deposit or the entire amount for the bus tour (I had to drag that out of them during the conversation).

The bottom line is that YOU MUST ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS before investing in anything, and the analyze and evaluate the information to determine if you can risk the money.

I am happy with the 1500 I spent learning some awesome techniques at the seminar, and when I do enough flips to make 30,000 I will re-invest in the bus tour.

Don’t forget there are other ways of learning to do real estate. I just prefer live instruction so that I can ask questions. 1500 for 24 hours of time from an experienced real estate investor is not bad (I did a background check), especially when he puts up with my annoying “Newbie” questions.

If anyone has any questions feel free to email me at k_alan.williams@hotmail.com.

Thanks for reading!

I haven’t seen anyone mention this yet. The more I read and watch the guy on tv, the more I am convinced Armando is a psychopath.

Thank you for this site. I saw some of the infomercial this morning and was tempted to go. I might go just for the entertainment factor, knowing full well, thanks to 99% of the posts here, that this conman and his crew are just out to fleece whoever they can. Looks like they make their money not from houses, but from the pockets of those they dupe. Or as PT Barnum said, “There’s a sucker born every minute.”

My Positive comments will probably never be posted because I realized the moderator is anti Armando…why would he post my positive messgae? “While I strive for accuracy, when posting material from outside sources on this website, I reserve the right to include links or commentary that were not in the original, to change the formatting of the content from its source, and/or omit portions of the source material.

WOW! Let me start out by saying that if it was such a scam why is it that this year The Armando Montelongo Company was awarded #1 in education on the Inc 500 list? Awarded in Washington DC for his work in education.

The messages I have read make me sick and so frusterated with the idiots on here. Just a bunch of whiners on here. You people are the type of people that want everything handed to you and if its too much work you blame someone else for it not working.

I am no genius as you may be able to tell from my writing (could be that I am flaming mad). I attended Armando’s workshops and bus tour and it changed my life completely. You seriously have to be an idiot if you can’t take his system and work it for you. I keep in touch with tons of students that are successful in their flipping business and guess what, they aren’t Harvard Scholars either. You have to be willing to put in the work. Armando never pretends that it is easy, you have to be commited to following your dream. If you showed up looking for an easy way to make extra cash you would be dissapointed. If you want to be a millionaire you have to act like one. You have to work hard and never give up.

I had taken classes about Real Estate Investment in the past but Armando’s system surpassed all of them. It was the best money I have ever spent.

I will forever feel gratitude towards Armando and what he has done for me and my new business.
