This company offers books and other educational materials on the subject of real estate investments. The products are sold via the company's websites by infomercial and seminar sales. The infomercials are primarily ran on late night and cable channels in the United States and Canada. The premise of the program is that individuals can purchase real estate at extremely low prices and make money by reselling them renting them or by living in them and not having to pay a mortgage. He claims to teach people how to purchase properties for pennies on the dollar. The Free & Clear System focuses on making money in the "tax sale foreclosure" arena. The sold courses are a series of books and DVDs which educate them on how to purchase these properties along with access to lists of such properties for sale.~~We advise caution with any offer advertising high earnings along with testimonials and claims of little or no work. Such Get Rich Quick offers usually promote a theory or idea of how to earn money using methods which may be difficult to implement and sometimes legally questionable. Some consist of little more than common sense suggestions. While the company making the offer makes money we know of no Get Rich Quick opportunity which ever made the buyer a millionaire. Information published and sold on money making methods may be interesting and helpful however there is no real proof that anyone earned the high income claimed in advertisements.
Our files show disconnected phone numbers, returned mail or both. The company appears to be out of business. We cannot trace addresses of companies or principals. General information is available upon request which may assist you.
On February 2 2007 we wrote to this company asking for substantiation of advertising claims concerning buyer's actual ability to purchase properties at "pennies on the dollar " and their claim that by purchasing tax lien certificates buyers can earn "300% Interest" on investments. The company was given 10 days to respond. On April 24 2007 the company responded to our request by sending samples of tax lien certificates sale transaction ledgers and clarifications of their advertising and marketing practices. ~~On May 16 2007 we advised the company that the information sent for review proved to be inconclusive. We determined that the transaction records provided were not recent and only represented one State's transactions. Although we believe it may be possible to purchase properties inexpensively it does not translate well to broad statements which would lead the reader to believe that all properties or properties in all states can be purchased for pennies on the dollar as their advertising suggests. We researched several properties that were sold in Riverside County of California at auction. None of which sold for pennies on the dollar. In general we believe their advertising leads the reader to believe that profits are easily made purchasing properties but fails to place these claims in context. ~~The company's efforts to substantiate earnings claims of up to a 300% interest for tax lien certificates were inconclusive. While conceptually it may be possible to earn a high rate of return the company failed to provide proof that this is reasonably possible.
