FOSQBJ:

I'm sorry if consider me bitter. It seems you have made similar comments before. I'm not quite sure why you feel that way as I don't. Am I guilty of calling things they way I see them? YES!

I have a steady flow of Private Messages from other forum members who have sought my advice, many have thanked me for my responses to them.

As for "dropping out" I don't see that happening yet; in fact I renewed my broker license for another 2 years just a month or so ago. Will I be cutting down the area I service? yes. While I will probably continue to offer BPO services in the 8 counties I now work in it is very likely that I will limit my REO listings to only 5 of them in the future. It is my intent to remain active as long as my mind is clear and I have physical strength to do the job. That being said I also have a number of other things do do while life remains.

Mr. Foreclosure

PS: Dale, thanks for your understanding and support of the American way.

Sorry

I am planning on signing up for the two courses below. I am not being required by anyone I just thought it would be good education. As a new REO agent, is their a better way to spend the $500? ?m I looking in the right area? REedu website.


Default School Courses:
- REO Best Practices 249.00 USD


- Advanced Evaluations 249.00 USD

i remember seeing that mark to market had a program where they would add you to their network if got the default school designation. You may want to call them and ask. I also heard at a conference in vegas last year that the school's clients do search its database when searching for agents. Default School asks for a ton of info on the sign up profile, so that makes sense. A client would have all the info necessary to contact you and add you to its agent list and they would see that you invested in specfic reo and valuation training. It works for me anyway.

The other "face to face" training, at least relating to business development, doesn't add up to me. After you are finished, you get a certificate. At least this way you are in a database that is searchable by asset managers.

I feel good about it and just signed up! I think this will at least at the minimum help me do a better BPO.

I would be interested in hearing from someone who has already taken the class Advanced Evaluations 249.00 USD to see how much new information was provided or was it more of a refresher?

I took both courses. The advanced evaluations will still be basic info for anybody that has done bpos. That said, I still picked up some tidbits of info. I have not seen any return on my investment yet. I have not been able to take the invite courses: PAS, indy etc. I called default school and they said they have no control over those invites and that I would have to wait.

Has anyone taken the default school training on their own and been picked up my an AMC or lender?

Maybe all of missed the boat. I think there is more money and less stress in offering an REO class or a list of companies you can buy than actually doing the work. Just a thought!!!

beware of some courses !!
