In Reply to: Re: Russ Whitney Success Story? My 20 questions and 2 cents worth .... posted by Reva on March 19, 1999 at 18:21:40:

I'm absolutely stunned. What can I say here?

Learn how to add?
Get a grip on life?

Well, for readers like Reva I'll just take the time to explain something here:

Let's assume we have a property with a fair market value of $100,000. The owner sells the house to Reva and her husband for $80,000. They then sell it for $120,000. After $15,000 in expenses they net $25,000.

They take $20,000 and give it to the seller, because they're fair
They take another $20,000 and give it to the buyer, because they're fair.
They take another $20,000 and give it to the missionaries.

HELLO!!!!!

This ain't adding up!

Are Reva and her husband heading for a financial Jonestown? Why does she sound like she belongs to the Church of Whitney? Is Whitney brainwashing the students?

Or could she be right? There is a place on this planet without unethical real estate investors and you are fair and make a lot of money, not having any money yourself?

It's all about helping each other and being fair to others?

Where is that place? I'd like to check it out!

: Wow, Christine! You were really hard on us. You know, my husband and I submitted a written offer on a house this week. Nothing we did was unethical, immoral, illegal, undisclosed, we did not attempt to take advantage of anybody or to cheat anyone. Nor do I feel that we will lose out on deals without having the above qualities. Our goal as far as making money is this: to be debt free (not counting income producing assets), to be able to care for our family, and to be able to help others. There is a family at our church who will be leaving to go to a third world country as missionairies soon. How great it would be to sell a house that we had worked on and be able to send extra money to help them. Thats what its all about anyway. Is helping each other and being fair to others. The Russ Whitney course does not teach any of the requirements you stated for success. What the course taught me is that I can do whatever I set my mind to. I went into that seminar thinking of all the things I couldn't do and came out realizing just how much I can do. I was taught that it is important to be honest and fair. I discovered this message board prior to attending the three day training camp. I read all the messages about Russ Whitney. I was trying hard to learn what I was getting myself into. We had already paid to go. But nothing I read here even came close to what all I learned. It was, in my opinion, worth everything we spent to go. I don't get as much time nowadays to browse the net like I used to. But I will come back with updates from time to time as we progress in our venture of real estate investing. And by the way, its alot of fun and we are having a blast.
