Last year I was introduced to Austin Davis. I was told about Austin from another investor I follow. The real estate teacher whose program I learned about apartment investing in referred me to Austins program. First, unlike the program I had already bought on apartment investing thi s program was just for funding. If you are a newbie grab a starter course like Monica Main’s (its cheap and broad). I started with a program by Monica Main for less than $100 and it helped me a lot. Since Austin was offering a 60 day money back guarantee I decided to give it a try.

His website was to the point and easy to understand and get a feel for his program. I was able to download the program right away too. The price was a big investment for me at $1,000 but it did come with a 60 day guarantee. Now that Austin has become so famous you can get his program for 50% off fairly easy. Austin is up front that he wants you to bring him deals for his property scout program – you don’t get partnership but just a flat fee – but you can buy on your own too if you are ready. You are not required to send him deals for his property scout program though. I wanted to buy my own apartment building and did not want to just get a fee for referring it.

I sent his staff a email and got a reply 3 days later with help which was very helpful. I got help on how to submit a deal using the forms each week from his staff. I got a year of support included for free when I bought his program which was really nice. I just include my name and email and date I ordered to get the free support. I had to work up 9 deals before the numbers finally worked, but with $3,200 a month in cashflow it was well worth it. I was able to buy with nothing down thanks to his investor fund. What was really good for me is that I do not qualify for any special grants from the government so this came as a big surprise to me.

It took me 7 months to get my first apartment, but I bought it with no down payment and only $12,000 cash up front. Austin’s team also showed me how to get prefunding money for the up front costs. I got a seller credit at closing to cover my closing costs and got cash to pay the up front costs back too. I just wish I could get cash back at closing from my first deal, but I did not know how to do it then. I later learned how to get cash back on a deal with the down payment investor fund.

My free 12 months of support has since expired. His mastermind group is $99 a month and great for continued support. I am not working on my next apartment with his staff.

Before I started with Austin’s team I tried dozens of other real estate programs. I spent well over $10,000 in programs, seminars, bootcamps, mentoring, etc.

What has set Austin’s program and his team apart from the other programs is the support. I also am impressed to see Austin now offering his program for $500 or less. Austin offers the 60 day guarantee now on his program too. I have never paid for a program other than using my credit card. I love using my visa card so I always have that added protection from scammers and online scams. If a merchant does not refund my money when they offer a refund guarantee I can always dispute it with my credit card to get the money back. One thing I really liked was that Austins support staff can not access my billing info direct since he outsources the billing to clickbank. Very few merchants anymore will go to such lengths to protect customer billing information. Clickbank is the internet’s largest and most respected internet billing provider. What I do know is that Clickbank is high on security and has a iron clad refund policy all merchants have to follow. You can just google to find out about clickbank and the awards they have got.

I wanted to take this time to thank Austin for his program. I could not find any reviews a year ago when I looked for Austins program reviews. I have noticed a lot of people asking for reviews so I wanted to share this.

There are many scammers online and scams. The best way to tell if a guru is legit is do they offer a money back guarantee and take credit cards – scammers NEVER sell programs via credit cards. You will also want to use your credit or debit card for protection. Look for a 3rd party billing servicer such as clickbank or authorize.net or something like that to protect your billing infomation. Clickbank is I think the biggest.

In real estate if the teacher does not offer support stay away. This is well huge. You have to have a good support team there to help you on your deal. The price of a program does not equal value or worth. In fact I think many times the programs costing $5,000 or $10,000 are just hype. Think about it. If an investor is profiting from deals why do they want to charge $5,000 or more? Why even charge a grand?? Im guessing thats why he dropped the price so much. It just makes since more people will be able to buy your program if it costs less. I wish it was free. I do understand though you have to charge something to help people and provide good support.

I was stunned to see people slandering Austin and standing up for gurus way over charging people for training (who I tried and lost a lot of money working with). How will you know if this really works? Other than to buy it and try it I don’t know. Use your credit card, print a copy of the website with the 60 day guarantee. Austin’s team actually told me if it did not work for me to just ask for a refund. I was able to call clickbank for help on my order. Clickbank also sends you a order confirmation email with a easy click refund request for your protection. If you are skeptical – you have the printed copy of the guarantee and can call your credit card company and they will refund it. Try it and see for yourself – nothing works like seeing something work first hand.

I do wish I found a good review when I was looking a year ago when I was doing my research on Austin. I only wish someone would have pointed me in the right direction before I spent over $10,000 with other gurus. Being able to finally live the life with freedom I have worked so hard for in the last 12 years has been such a blessing. I have time to spend with my kids. I have time to travel now. That to me is priceless. I wish you well in your investing and your dreams.
