Success Path - Flipping Houses Lies, no help, scam, Salt Lake City Utah Nationwide

I received a free invitation to a seminar where we could learn how to flip houses like the HGTV show Flip or Flop with Tarek and Christina.  The meeting was interesting and the people presenting the project were great sales people. After the meeting they have tables set up in the back to purchase more materials and a three day seminar for further education. They make it sound so easy and that everyone who is doing this is making money.  I signed up for the three day seminar, paid my $1000.00 and went. They pack alot of information into the three days. I grew concerned when at the lunch break they gave us scripts to call our credit card companies to ask for an increase in the credit limit.  Again, I did it for a couple of cards I have. 

I was told that there would be people/contacts for us to use to help us get going in the business such as hard money loans, investors etc. They never tell you that they will not usually work with a first time house flipper.  If you could find one (they tell us to find our own contacts after we get invested with our money) They will not loan you the money for the whole project either. So you really need to have your own cash or other available means to get started. I purchased some "mentoring" for $3500.00 and it is not even worth a penny.  I get phone calls every couple of weeks but if I discuss some problems I have had they tell me not to be negitative.  It is like taking a class and the teacher is not there to answer questions or guide you. The web sites they tell you to use are not good either. One of them has wholesalers selling so high that the value of the house is not there and if you are not careful you will not make a profit. The website is greedy and over price the houses for their benefit. They also do not mention that being a real estate agent is a plus.  Having access to accurate comps when looking for these houses is critical.  Again, they tell you to network and find the agents yourself. I have paid out $30,000 for training and help and I have not been able to buy one house or flip a property. They say it can be done in three to four months and they will help you. They do not help. 

I am a smart person. I did check out some of the complaints about them before signing up but you will always find some people who complain about anything. I feel that I have been taken to the cleaners and they will not give back any of the money I have spent. In addition, they say you can do this part time maybe 5-10 hours a week but that is a big lie. It is a full time business from the very beginning.  I can't believe that Tarek and Christina have lent their names to this training and company. I wonder if they checked Success Path out before they got involved? By the way, they do not show up at the meetings. The people conducting the classes remind me of used car salesmen. They will spin it anyway they can to keep you in the meetings. If you leave, they talk about them after they leave. Now that is professional! Not. 

I would like a complete refund and to have them put out of business. I really do not know how they sleep at night while ripping off people who just want the truth and help to get started in this business.

Stay far away from them. They will lie when the truth fits better.
