HOW IT ALL STARTED...

Subject: Who is James Smith and his National Real Estate Investors organization?

About a week ago I had attempted to contact all people who had email
links from various websites re: James Smith and his travelling
seminar.  As you may have discovered already from doing a web search,
there is not much conclusive information on James Smith.

EMAILS:

As for the feedback that I have received so far, it has been few and
far between; Unfortunately, none of them were quite convincing or
conclusive:

1. One basically told me that it wasn't worth the money if you're
just starting out with no RE background (cuz there's just so much
info that's covered).

2. Another told me that it was well worth his money and would take
him again if he were to do it over again.

3. The rest were sitting on the fence waiting to hear more about this
guy.


GURU RATINGS:

I've also checked with several sites that rate gurus -

1. www.johntreed.com
2. www.foreclosures.com
3. www.mazu.com
4. www.papersourceonline.com

but none have any information on James Smith, except for the last one
listed (
http://www.papersourceonline.com/discus/messages/1649/12593.html?1095459508 ).
I've also tried contacting the admins of the sites
listed above, but I'm sure they're too busy to answer the my query.

Lastly, I've tried posting on several forums to see if i could get
any feedback...  Nothing substantial... only emails from other people
inquiring.  I know of one or two that are attending soon.  We'll see
how they do.

YOUR FINDINGS:
If anyone has any information to share about James Smith OR any
promising program, guru, book, or other resource, please do not
hesitate to share with the group.  This forum documents all our posts
and will become a valuable resource for other newbies clueless of
what is out there.  In the spirit of community and plain generosity,
your contribution is much appreciated.

We can benefit many times over from the collaborative effort and
quality of contribution that we put into this - of course, this idea
applies to many things outside of this forum.

Thanks for your time,
- K
