Lol, just read a lot of these after seeing he’s in my area for a seminar this week. I assumed I’d find a lot of posts saying the real deal, and some people who clearly are Armando’s associates!(this is evident as they can’t spell ‘positive’) Here’s what gets me, he made money on the show by renovating houses with a crew. This works, it does cost money down, time in, a crew, construction knowledge, but it works! This seminar seems to be based around NOT doing this, but some foreclosure thing where you use the Gov’s cash, secret funds only he know about, etc. So it looks to me like where he made an honest living flipping with refurb’s, common age old practice, he is now selling a system that has nothing to do with this. SIGH! There was one Florida guy who had a system where you find migrant workers and put the time in, I guess Armando saw his sales figures and wanted to do an “anyone can do it…. in 15 hrs!” BS program.

I could tell what this guy was like in the episode where he had to drive the tractor, then he broke the garage, His reaction to that and how a mistake he makes isn’t a mistake spoke volumes about our boy. Imagine if his wife had broken the garage how different that reaction would have been!

Saw an infomercial on all this last night… supposedly going to be in the Twin Cities area this week… found this online today. Same stories… different places…

http://www.ripoffreport.com/directory/ARMANDO-MONTELONGO-SEMINARS.aspx

If the link is removed when I post this… just go to ripoffreport.com and type his name (or copy and paste this: Armando Montelongo) into the search… you’ll get plenty to read…

It seems the “FREE” seminar is to set you up for a 3-Day seminar that costs $3500… oh… but wait! Can’t afford that? Today only, for the first ones to the table in the back… only $1495…

And then the 3-day seminar contains no real helpful info… just a lot of stories about others… blah… blah… blah… and THIS is a setup for something that costs $15,000 or more…

Seriously? Lots of upset people out there…

Hi my name is Greg I am in a computer room at the Marriot Courtside in Riverside, I fly back to San Francisco this afternoon.
I just finished Armando’s 3 day seminar in Riverside CA. He and his staff are amazing!

He is truly real inside and out, and truly cares about his students.

3 months ago when I first watched his Informercials I thought that there has to be a catch? right? because there always is…But after doing 3-3 day seminars with Armando’s team I have learned so much about Buisness Management, Asset protection, and how to buy homes in any state within 30 to 90 days.

Yes I was very sceptical at first I kept wondering if all this was true? but after watching live student testimonials in person and meeting with them I was blown away. The system Armando teaches on how to buy and flip homes in today’s real estate market is 100% true.

I am now moving on to the master course and I hope you will do yourself a favor, go to Armando Montelongo’s first seminar, wherever his introduction is in your area and just sit and listen.

You just might end up like me and move forward in your life. This is the best time to get into the real estate market.

The only way you will know this for yourself is to do this course it will literally blow you away:)

Good luck! Greg

You can teach a person to fish but the student cant blame the teacher if he fishs with toilet paper

I have armondo’s master course.I read one post on here that actually made since.People just want to sit here on this site and talk smack on someone there jealous of.Armondo is a stand up guy,maybe the way he flip’s houses is a little over the edge when it comes to budgeting and handling contractors,but you dont have to follow his system to the “T”.I gurantee you will learn alot from his master course and can be successful if you tweak the system to fit your market.It only takes creativity to make anything work.Most the people on here are right about the california market,except for that dumbass rookie realtor “JtHarley”or whatever,your name’s not even worth remembering.Most of you are probably not even investors and with the attitudes most of you have you would fail before you started anyway.If you want to get a solid education on real estate investing i recommend “dean Graziosi”.His books cost around $30 shipping included and lay it all out there.

WOW i went begrudgingly for my husband as he claimed this was a way to make big money 3 day seminar for 1500. NO breakfast, lunch, or dinner! Little breaks. didnt break for lunch until 2p.m. His associates who represented him all nothing but good to say! They made several comments about not trusting the govt. Even referenced a few people to not come back after break as they werent participating, convince you that this can be done with LITTLE or NO money down which we had NO money after spending $1500. so they somehow wiggled out $12,000 from husbands 401K against my better judgement/I refused to attend the last two days and how can people be so stupid!

I’ve never heard of a RE agent making 17%!! I live in MA and as far as what the agent makes is determined by the agreement between the seller/buyer and the agent. Typically it’s 4%-6%.
If you have ever tried to sell a property on your own it’s hard! (my property is still for sale) I know paying out that % seems like a lot, but they are doing a lot of work, especially in this economy. The agents have the contacts that you don’t….and NO I AM NOT A BROKER OR A RE AGENT!
I know this site is devoted to pretty much hating AM….I too have flushed a lot money down the toilet buying this or that, trust me, it’s embarassing to admit this!
Some programs, I bought, I would go through the materials and realize this was not for me, usually too late to get a refund!
Other programs seemed like a good idea and that’s where I stopped…The point I’m trying to make is BE AWARE of what you buy and if it does sound like a good opportunity, TRY IT!
Is AM scamming people? Maybe…everyone will have a different opinion.
I too think he is arrogant and condescending but I have the power to turn the channel and I have the power to not buy his products.
I would like to read his book, just for curiosity’s sake.
I watch the CT guys once in a while and they are kind of boring to watch but I believe you can learn something and I like to watch them take an house that needs some love and turn it into a home that will be loved by someone!
I went to an event a few years ago in Boston, Donald Trump, Tony Robbins, George Foreman and Robert Kiyosaki were the key speakers that weekend. It was very motivational to hear them all speak, BUT…..
I also attended several other seminars while I was there and yes I did buy into a few programs, about $10k worth, thinking I would make it all back in RE….I didn’t know what a “schill was then, but I sure know what a “schill” is now!!
I had to pay a lawyer $1500 to get back $6k of the $10k I spent! I was happy to get that much back…needless to say I don’t go to those events anymore!!
What works in another state doesn’t always work in my state, as I found out the expensive way!!
It’s not buyer beware in my state, we have a 93A law that protects consumers…if you feel if you have been scammed by anyone please contact the atty. general in your state or a lawyer, your state might have a similar law and you might be able to get your money back!
Praise GOD and Peace and Love to Everyone!

This guy is a San Antonio Tx. “slum lord”.
He wore out his welcome and left town. As a native San Antonian, I’m embarassed by this guy. In his market ads in S.A, he referred to himself and his crew as the “Mafia” Perhaps, intended as humor, I find it may ring true. Ask him how many of his so-called flips wound up as rental property. If you can’t afford to lose, don’t invest. M.Sillman
