I forgot to add that I had a gut hunch they might try to charge my card at the end of the trial period anyway regardless of what the phone guy said so I canceled it and specifically told them not to allow charges from Armando. Much to my amazement they were trying to charge me for a monthly subscription I never signed up for, never asked for and was not told about. They were mad as heck that their automatic charges were not going through and kept trying to contact me to see why. I NEVER knowingly agree to let anyone automatically charge my credit card on a regular basis as a matter of policy! FRAUD!!!

I called up to get this course. I had a job that required I be away from home a lot. This guy kept calling me and trying to walk me through the course. The course was supposed to cost around 400 dollars but the guy kept calling me asking if I had looked through the material and trying to get me to borrow thousands of dollars from friends or family to get personal tutoring. This sent up red flags so I explained I wanted to return the package but could not get back home to pick up the package and send it back. He said, no hurry, just send it back when you can. When I got home and sent it back it was postmarked about 7 days late of the trial period. They received the unopened box and still billed me-eventually putting collections on my credit record. The person on the phone misled me into keeping the package too long; I could have had a friend return it if he had not misled me.

YES I am a stupid idiot! I purchased the book then got the calls then purchased the LOOSER course for $18,500 bucks and have not been alble to cancel or contact anyone (with answers) to get my money back. I belive if you have listened to the cd’s and heard his way of coaching then taken any one of his webinars from his coaches you would be confused because nethier on says the same thing! Example: Armondo says you only need to go buy any flip 3 times to see it to hire a contractor and to sell it! no is that BS or what even the coaches said no way!!!

I ordered his FREE trial offer and cancelled within the month and am now being billed 67.00 mthly on my credit card. They claim I did not cancel correctly. Which part of NO don’t they understand. They claim I signed up for their on site school of which I have never even seen or want to see. What rude people I’ve had to deal with.

If you have something positive to say, great! If not, remember that jealousy alone doesn’t qualify you to be a resident expert. If you have done what this guy has done, great! You get kudos and the right to voice your professional opinion. If not, shut up and get back to work! You have more to do first before you can run your pie-hole!

Well….I loved watching A&E’s show about flipping houses and have wanted to get into the business myself. Recently, I have considered buying into Armando’s “program” but was stunned when the coach on the phone said, “You qualify for the $4,680 program, and only need to put $500 down, all I need is your credit card now to get you started”. LOL. Yea right! So…I got on the internet and found this site! Thank Goodness. Although, to be honest, I’m disappointed that it’s a scam. I guess I was hoping to find different results. But you all can’t be wrong with your comments. So thanks for sharing, and thank goodness I do have some common sense left. :)

To All:
I bought the full course in the early part of 2009 and started rehabbing. I used what he taught in his course to purchase and evaluate properties and it helped me not only on my first purchase but on my third as well. My two biggest hurdles were fear and financing. I received the financing from a community bank rather than one of the large institutions and I made myself get over the fear. My desire to succeed was greater than my fear of failure. I had already lost my job and my wife told me this would be the last real estate course she would let me buy (I was either going to do it this time or try something else and not waste any more of the family money). Truthfully in MY OPINION this was the most complete course I have ever bought (and I have bought several). The only complaint I have is the customer service company or telemarketing company he hired needs to be fired because they will run off many willing paying customers. I will not go into my experience with them but after that experience I refused any of their other offers.
I made 32k on my first deal, 21k on my second and that is after all fees and loan payoffs (still working on the third, I need more permits). I have the Hud 1 documents to back it up and copies of the checks. I took the program as a college course that cost $350. The education you receive only works if you work it. Also in order for any of us to be successful at real estate we must all ways continue to educate ourselves. If Armondo has wronged anyone I hope he changes his ways for the better because we all make mistakes, it is what we do afterwards that makes the difference. From following the advice in his course I was able to live out one of my life dreams, which was to take my parents and in-laws on an all expense paid vacation to Las Vegas. The money I made from my real estate transactions allowed me to do that. I have made back my $350 many times over. Don’t let fear paralyze you. Find a book, program or course that fits you and GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SEE YOU AT THE TOP!!!!!!!!!!!
