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!

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.

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.

It fits.

Comment on A&E Contact Information by Robin Halsey

I just sent this email to A&E Feedback. “While you probably won’t read a “criticism” type feedback, I will still try to convey my intent. You continue to air episodes of “Flip This House” starring Armando Montelongo who in an early episode obtained cats from an animal shelter in order to rid a TX property of rattlesnakes. SHAMEFUL. He’s an IDIOT and shouldn’t be given any recognition of any kind. He should have been arrested for animal cruelty & other crimes. I want you to stop airing shows with him and his partners immediately.” I encourage everyone to boycott A&E and their sponsors and perhaps find out why the SPCA hasn’t had him/them or A&E charged with any crimes like cruelty to animals and falsely adopting a rescued animal for cruel and deadly (to the animal) purposes? My next email is to the producer Tracee Williams and then the sponsors of Flip This House at A & E. Robin Halsey

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.”

Excellent! Now if we can only get some new episodes of Flip This House. I just noticed a Flipping Boston show on AE for those of you who like flip shows. Flipping Vegas was good just minus the Flip This House name.
