I see so many property experts on Facebook Ads. How legit are they?

Wow. Every few scrolls, I see one. People who say one sentence per paragraph. Full of marketing words. Tickboxes everywhere. "What the experts do NOT want you to know" etc etc.

These people claim to be property experts. Just how legitimate are they? Should I get their ebook or is it just another book filled with generic information?

 

avoid them all as a default.

there is no magic bullet.

 

It feels a bit like the modern equivalent to 60s gurus....

 

Ok, so I should avoid....all of them? Is there not one or two that are at least of decent quality?

 

To be honest, you dont know enough to recognise quality. Not that there is any quality in facebook ads, imho.

You want to know where quality info is? In the brains of people who have done it, not selling to people.

Read this forum for 6 months first.

 

You'll get more value here reading the posts than in some e-book and a lot less spam in your inbox

 

Probably

 

All the real property experts I know cannot be bothered to teach .
They would rather do it themselves

 

offering a free e-book in return for your contact details is classic spruiker lead gen 101

alot of people have realised there is alot of seemingly risk-free money to be made selling education to the gullible, naive and greedy

 

OP, doesn't the very nature of the way the ads read, immediately make you think they are dodgy? Whenever you read something like that, it's going to be a rip off. They are snake oil salesmen. Anything with a clickbait title isn't worth a click.

The more people restrain themselves and not click or sign up, the faster the con artists go away.

Scams often work on greed and laziness. People thinking they can get something for free or make a lot of money for doing very little. They prey on people's greed and laziness.

 

Problem is people are afraid. If youve never bought before, a decision for a couple hundred k is a big thing.

the way to manage that is to know what you are doing. But that means a lot of boring reading about offers and loans and tax and law. Which few people are willing to sit through. Most people arent even willing to do a couple months of saturday inspections to learn about prices.

newbies always roll their eyes when you say the first step is talk to a mortgage broker and get a solicitor. They want to find mortgagee sales or off market properties or desperate sellers.

Then their credit file gets mutilated while their offers get shopped to other buyers or they lose their deposit because they get played on the technicalities.

so they look for a ‘guru’ to help them. Flashy reports and numbers and a good story. And thats how they get knifed and bled.

 

Not sure why you are always condescending to me, this is not the first time.

To everyone else who answers like a decent human being, thank you for the responses, appreciate them

 

Ha i thought it was just my feed. they are swarming like marketing graduates. I'm seeing Dympha ads in my sleep

 

I really don't think Trainee meant it unkindly. He/she is just quite experienced and taking the time to reply to your questions, but doing so more honestly and slightly less tactfully than you may have hoped for.

 

Question: what should i do about all those emails about medical breakthroughs and dictators needing my bank account for big fees?

answer: ignore them all. BS and scams, they are.

question: ALL of them? But just maybe......

.......... the problem with newbies is that they want a magic bullet, they want to know the one guru that will teach them everything and avoid all the pitfalls. understandable, but thats not how it works.

the frustrating reality is that a good team will be made up of independent advisors each specialising in their bit (mortgage broker, solicitor, buyers agent, builder etc). And the buyer reading a thousand pages of articles. Or at least a couple hundred threads here.

the buyer is in charge of orgnising everyone and making decisions. But this is the one thing newbies want to offload, instead of spending time learning to do it.

if it makes the op feel better, its not personal. You are just the latest of a couple hundred newbie posts asking for salvation instead of living the virtues.
