Fortune Builders took $25K and I am currently in collections. This is a scam. FB doesn't care if I ever make my money back. Worst decision ever made in my life.

A "Must Do"
Excellent event!
Crushed it
The marketing and branding was something I may have missed in the past and found it an outstanding portion of being in the inner circle of Fortune Builders.
Waste of time & money
We went to the free seminar, then paid for the 3-day seminar, being promised we would be shown all steps to be able to become financially independent, by using their tried & true methods. Then on day 2, there was nothing but hype on joining the Mastery program, which costs range from $30,000 to $50,000, if you’re accepted. We were thinking about joining the program at the intermediate level for $35,000, only to be told we weren’t accepted because our net worth was only $300,000. The main theme of the seminar was that you would never have to invest your own money, so you could start up with $0 assets. What a joke!!! Don’t waste your time or money on this absolute scam!!

Laura was fantastic....
It was awesome
It was awesome, met a lot people and had great time. There was a tremendous amount of information that was very helpful.
They’ve charged my card a full year and…run away
They’ve charged my card a full year and a half after my initial attendance for their FREE workshop. The charge shows up as Than Merrill Educ but there is no number. Then when I contacted FortuneBuilders they said it’s not the same company ( *LIE*) and they can’t help me.
This company gives an exciting 2 or 3 hour teaser filled with un-actionable tidbits and then tries to up sell you by making you attend a different time at a different place. Then it’s the same thing each meeting there is more money to pay to get to the “real info”. I encourage you to get a good project management software for real estate transactions and find a local investor willing to mentor. Also there are TONS of Independent investors online willing to Help.

We thoroughly enjoyed the bootcamp
We thoroughly enjoyed the bootcamp. It was most informative. The information and I received to help my business in immeasurable. The presenter and staff were the best.
Excellent classes
All 3 classes I attended were well prepared. In particular the Rehab Bootcamp and the Rental Property Bootcamp. The instructors share with the audience their own experiences and request participation throughout the class which is important. Important formulas and contact information are noted in the course books. Excellent classes.

Thanks Fortune Builders!
Thanks Fortune Builders! It was really exciting. We learned a lot of new things in Internet Quickstart Academy. A lot of things on our phones that got us quite a few new leads and some of the students received deals out of it. I also learned a lot in rehab bootcamp and loved going to the houses they had selected for us that some of the students had purchased and were rehabbing. They were all in different stages of the rehab process. The last one was a finished project, It was an awesome experience. I recommend that everyone attend the bootcamps.
