Steve Cook
Steve Cook is the author of several books and investing courses, including titles like "Ugly House Contractor Agreement", "Real Estate Investor Business Plan", "Wholesaling for Quick Cash" and "Rehabbing for Big Cash". His main focus product is his 3-day Ugly House Boot camp, which would cost you around $2000.
In his many interviews as well as on his marketing page, Cook says that when started investing in real estate, he had no money and a bad credit history and rating. In his first two years, he bought over 100 houses, and now claims that he is well on his way to financial independence. Regarding the content of his material, experts say that he repeats more or less the same things what all the other so-called gurus spew out endlessly on the late night television infomercials. They agree that his material is decent, but not comprehensive enough. The business is difficult and complicated, and getting involved during this phase in the economy, with the amount of competition there is, needs serious thought. Unlike most others of his ilk, there seems to be a positive consensus among his ex-students, and people who have used his courses and his books. For his e-booklet, users say that it is pretty decent for $39. No surprising revelation or unprecedented knowledge about business plans, but overall pretty informative, even though similar material is now available almost everywhere. People who have taken his boot camps agree that he is no nonsense, no hype person, and that he tells it like it is. Steve shares everything with his students, including the bad and the ugly side of the business. All gurus tell you how much money you can make, and how much they have made. Steve, unlike them, will also tell you, from his own personal experience, what doesn’t or didn’t work and what didn't work well. Readers of his books agree that the books are very inexpensive unlike others on the market. He answers questions in the books as well as any further queries sent to him, and has a very informative website. The book may not look impressive but you do learn a few things from them that the other courses don’t teach. His audio CD is good too as it goes over what the business is, its intricacies and how to do it. His website also has a lot of free articles that explains his techniques. In addition, Steve answers questions most days on his website and these tidbits often help you make a larger profit. He seems to them to be a man of integrity. He has been informative, helpful, gracious and humble, and people have found that he is truly concerned with providing high value to Members and Guests. He is focused on imparting the real information and he realizes that the more that is taught in 60-90 minutes, the more people will want to know about what is taught in their course or seminar or boot camp. Most people do not realize how much he knows because of the down-to-earth way he speaks. But he answers emails in a 24-hour turn-a-round and actively participates in his newsgroup to the tune of 20 or more posts a day. He has a tremendous amount of information and is happy to provide it for Real-World investors. The gurus cannot make the deals for you. You need to acquire a solid knowledge base first. Steve’s courses seem to do that for the people. What is important to his students and gets him a high ranking is the continued support by one means or another that he provides. Steve provides a concise “How To” on the subject and his course content is the most comprehensive most of them have ever come across and courses are not just teasers to get you to buy something bigger, better, and more expensive. Just keep in mind that any real estate program typically requires a large amount of leverage (borrowing money) and risk. While leverage greatly accelerates your gains on the way up, it also accelerates your losses on the way down.
