In her book, McGee writes that a diligent foreclosure investor should expect to make $180,000 in year one, assuming six deals and clearing $30,000 on each. But even the successful students to whom McGee referred Money Magazine aren't making anywhere near that sum.
Lisa Carlson, a former medical sales rep who lives in Madison, Wis., says she has closed 14 deals since taking McGee's class two years ago (12 of them assignments), earning a total of $110,000 (an average of about $7,850 each).
After attending McGee's class in April 2006, Leslie Bach quit her job as a computer systems analyst and, with her husband, took up foreclosures full time in Austin.
In that year and a half, they have bought and sold four houses using bank loans, netting $100,000. Two more properties that they bought using McGee's methods have yet to sell in Austin's still lukewarm market.
McGee says that her $180,000 estimate is for California and other places where housing is relatively expensive (though she doesn't specify that in her book); investors will make less where homes are lower priced.
Dawn Connelly, who graduated from McGee's class in early September, is likewise finding it slow going.
A 32-year-old corporate lawyer and a mother of two from Stuart, Fla., she enrolled in McGee's class (and the mentoring program) to see if she could make money on foreclosures on the side. She has yet to land a deal. In fact, she's had homeowners threaten to summon the cops or even the FBI when she calls. "People get very angry," she says.
This is not to say that Connelly or the others are unhappy. Bach says she and her husband have replaced the income from their previous jobs. Carlson says she doesn't yet make what she used to earn in sales but feels she is headed in the right direction.
And Connelly is optimistic that she will buy her first property soon. She says she's running into more people who are having problems paying their mortgage.
Recently, when she struck up a conversation with the guy installing her cable, she learned he was late on his mortgage and wanted to sell his house. "He dropped the wires and went home and got his paperwork," says Connelly. "I am going to see his house next week. We might do a deal."
Fixing foreclosure's ground zero
As McGee's students struggle to make their fortunes in real estate, they can take inspiration from McGee and White, who've grown rich doing what they preach. At least that's what they claim.
In her book, McGee says she has "had her hand in more than $100 million in both residential and commercial foreclosure deals." She did the majority of those deals, however, in her capacity as a broker, completing other people's transactions and collecting a commission.
Her book also says she has "earned millions of dollars buying and selling foreclosure properties in good times and bad." A public records search by Money Magazine turned up only four properties ever bought by McGee, aside from her personal residences. According to her, those four deals generated slightly more than $200,000 before rehab and other costs.
McGee contends that she rarely puts her own name on the title and deed when she buys a house. Most of her deals, she says, are done though limited-liability companies (LLCs) and other legal entities in order to limit her risk and protect her privacy, a common practice among real estate investors.
When Money Magazine asked for the names of the companies she uses, McGee declined, citing privacy.
It is even harder to verify Daryl White's foreclosure track record. A search of real estate transactions in the Los Angeles County area for the past five years turned up no record of White ever having bought or sold any property other than his current and former homes in Valencia.
Money Magazine repeatedly asked White for a list of addresses of houses he has purchased in foreclosure. White declined, also citing privacy.
And while he initially said he bought all his properties in his own name, after Money Magazine said it had found no record of them, he said that he buys properties through an undisclosed private company.
White did provide Money Magazine with a 2006 tax return, which showed $645,000 in dividends from an LLC but omitted the name of the LLC and his accountant. McGee says she's seen proof of White's real estate transactions and that it is very common for her students to utilize LLCs.
That attitude irks veteran real estate investor and industry gadfly Reed, who believes that those who charge thousands for their classes and seminars should be willing to prove their investment success.
"Many gurus say they are trying to keep a low profile for liability reasons, while simultaneously bragging from the rooftops about how much money they have made," he says. "It's totally inconsistent."

The Other Side of the Story
AUTHOR: Daryl White - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Monday, December 31, 2007
I'm always amazed at how some people can read only one point of view and then form an opinion. Since the person writting this chose to include the Money Magazine article on me, I'm adding my response to the article below. It's the other side of the story.
"Needless to say, I was very disappointed with the overall negative tone Stephen Gandel from Money Magazine chose to take with his recent article on Foreclosures.com. My gut feeling about Stephen from the very beginning was that he was looking for a negative angle to exploit and I was right. That was the reason why I was not comfortable giving him all the financial information he requested and thank God that I didn't. He would have just twisted everything around and used it to support his negative angle as he did with the entire article.
Past reporters have asked me for proof of my success and I've given it to them...names, addresses, everything. They however were trustworthy people. I simply didn't trust Stephen. He clearly had a hidden agenda and was NOT honest about how he intended to write this story when asked. I did supply him with my 2006 tax returns, but that was not enough. And he dares to question my integrity.
More disturbing was reading this very big misquote:
Note True: "And while he initially said he bought all his properties his own name, after MONEY said it had found no record of them, he said that he buys properties through an undisclosed private company."
The Truth: Stephen followed me around for 2 days in Los Angeles. While we were in my car, out door knocking, Stephen asked me, "Do you buy your properties in you name?" My response; "I sign the contract in my name and take title under my LLC."
What's surprising to me is the Stephen and I discussed this on the phone before he printed the article (as well as talked to Alexis about it separately) but he still got it wrong in his article. In fact, he wrote as if it was a matter of fact and it was not.
Also omitted in his article was his requested conversation with a homeowner in default that I helped by buying her house. She had nothing but good things say about how thankful she was for my help -- but there is no mention of this conversation anywhere in the article. When I asked Stephen why he didn't include his conversation in the article, he claims it was because he couldn't verify her information. What's odd about this reason is that he also said he couldn't confirm some of my information, but he still used it in the article.
Why does Money Magazine have someone who has no faith in real estate, knows little about it, and only wishes to write about stocks (per his own admission) write about real estate? Especially when real estate has consistently out performed stocks. Good question don't you think?
So in the end, he simply wrote what he wanted and used the facts as they suited him to write his negative article. Too bad he didn't share the wealth of information he learned from the many days he spent with us, so their readers can learn the right way to buy foreclosures and help people at the same time. I'm thankful that you found us now."
Concerning the person who claims that Foreclosures is a scam, considering who wrote it I think its very clear that they too have an agenda.
So please seek all the facts before you decide what we are all about. We truly help people who have no other option and make a good living doing it. What's wrong with that?
Best Wishes,
Daryl

Wow, Freedom Solutions of Lodi, CA is at it again. Now they had one of their employees write a negative post on us, even though none of them have ever been a client or taken a single course from Foreclosures.com.
There is a reason they are posting negative comments. It is called deflection of their own misgivings. Read more here:
