My husband and I went to the 3 day class and truely only received about 1/2 day of information. The rest of the time was on selling the bus tour.
Listening to Uncle Jimmy tell us not to talk to the other participants and use his “I dont think any of you could buy a house cheap” routine was insulting to say the least. Then to hear him say, dont listen to your wife and have Sam (another instuctor) pop off with “Take Armando’s divorce class” was truly one of the worst things I had heard anyone say. I almost left right then. I did leave half day on Sunday( 3rd day) when I realized the sales of the bus tour would be the only topic for the rest of the class. I was insulted and truly sorry we had wasted our money and time with this bogus group.
How they sleep at night is beyond me.

Wow, so many people took time to share their less than professional experience with Armando M. How many did not take the time. He’s all over complaint.com and ripoff.com, too. I still am using great tenacity to try to get complete steps on how I go about using land trusts to remain anonymous with flipping. Jordan rarely responds to email concerns or phone calls. I have NEVER felt my hand was held (as Armando said a few times during the 3 day). Stay away from Armando workshops-they don’t fulfull–they are too busy I beleive to take the time once they steal your monies. they have an attorney Josh who also is not into reasonable customer satisfaction. I only wanted half my monies back even though I feel I only received 30% good info (local bus tour/boot camp was aweful and completely unorganized and the three days in CA had very different expenses on the houses depending if Paul or Armando took you through the tour–I am talking like maybe a $15-$18k difference–alot of difference–that makes it confusing). They have an F BBB rating-gosh, I was dumb to not check all this before paying sooooo much $$$$$.

well, while i never purchased any products i do believe the spam part is not on his behalf per say, they promote through affiliate companies and the affiliate members are the ones spamming his products for affiliate commissions

I purchased this course and with the help of my wife and brother we have made some much needed extra money. I guess the only warning here is, if you are a lazy bum, don’t bother. I don’t understand how some people call this a scam. I have paid cash for over half of my classes because of Armando’s help. Oh, by the way, I sent him an email once because i was so confused, he called me and broke it down even further. I couldn’t believe it was really him! THANKS ARMANDO!

Thanks to this site, I never got Montelongoed and this makes me happy! Has ANYONE noticed that practically ALL of the low rent TV advertisers have lousy BBB ratings? I’m talking about the off beat channels on cable and satellite versus the mainstream networks. Every time I see something that looks remotely attractive, I check the BB and, sure enough, they’ve got lousy ratings. Does anyone remember one of the latter episodes where Armando was sitting on his couch with a notebook and telling his wife how he needed to knock out his new book so he can help others with real estate in the way it has helped their family? That was such a crock. It’s almost as if the Armandofest believes that everyone is incredibly stupid or something. Well some must be or he wouldn’t still be trying to sell this farce real estate stuff.

Like many others, I put out a lot of money for Armando’s coaching service. When I asked how I find financing, I was told that I have to hit-up my rich friends. Sorry, I don’t have any rich friends. I would be interested in joining any class actions that are being started. shomeir-at-gmail-dot-com.

Sure am glad I found this site. I fell asleep in front of tv last night and work up to the infomercial about seminar coming to Denver in early May. I signed up, then learned on this site and other sites today that I need to cancel. I’ve read that once they get your credit card info for “free” book, they continually charge for it month after month. Thanks to all of you for the heads up.
