Beware the private lending list peddlers

Did you know we have peddlers in our business too? I call them The List Peddlers because they "peddle" a list of private lenders and they are tragically misleading real estate investors all over the nation. Frankly the education they deliver is not just poor, it is flat wrong. And they are telling students to do things that are illegal. The foundation of a real estate business is to get a solid education. We all seek out folks that have been there to deliver honest content. We want to trust them. In fact we will travel thousands of miles to get that education and spend thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars to achieve our goals. You expect the best from these trainers both in what they teach and that they give you all the facts.
It is so bad that I realized that I needed to BLOW THE WHISTLE on them for the sake of our real estate community. Folks need to get the facts so they can not end up in trouble.
