Which system really works without any gimmicks of trying to get alot of money out of you?

Both are a scam. If you want to make money in RE get hooked up with a good agent who can help you find the real deals. Investing the old fashioned way is the best way to make money.
Their systems can work but are highly unlikely. Its like finding a needle in a hay stack.

Both of them are making millions of dollars by selling you a program.
Do you really think old Carlton would be on TV every night trying to sell you his program if his program actually worked? No. He'd be out there making his millions by using the program. Instead, he's getting suckers to buy the hype. He's getting rich off of the people that buy the program, not from real estate. Same with John Beck, although I've never heard of him.
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

All have gimmicks.
The gimmick is find someone who is watching T.V. "dreaming" of a better life and convince them that their success is dependant upon making this one and only phone call with their visa in hand.
What you should be doing instead,... is sitting in front of your lap top late at night in a good Creative Financing Forum / RE Investment Forum and you will learn what really works from people who are doing it ..........not selling it.
I borrowed the Carlton Sheets from a friend that is still dreaming about her future.........learned very few 'tricks' like acting as your own agent and asking for the buyers agents 3%. Using your Visa for funds....heloc for funds....finding props for other investors and just getting a finders fee (birddogging). All these can be learned online.
Being on the seller side of a "Carlton Sheets taught" buyer making an offer.... I can tell you that the buyer........who I was considering doing a lease option to ......came in with such rediculous terms that he killed the deal the second I read his offer. His offer said loud and clear....".I'm not financially wise....I'm not financially sound, I'm not ever going to be able to get a loan on my own...etc. I don't have a clue. I will likely cost you alot more $ than you will ever make off me."
He refused to allow us to see his credit. Thats a big deal. If you dont have the ability to get a loan in say 6 mos to 1yr.....I would be a fool to lease option. I would have to act as bank forever.
You need to learn to think like a seller .......... hone your ability to fashion a deal that is a win win for everyone and your success will soar.
If you believe that you can buy a house without banks, with bad credit or no credit, with no money out of pocket by just making a few phone calls out of the paper....... well you probably can. Your target would be a desperate, broke, not too financially savy owner who has a property in need of bulldozing. But you learned that here....no charge.
My favorite site for RE investors or wanna be investors learning is The Creative Real Estate Investor. They have entire forums devoted to CS and JB and Legrand etc. etc. etc.
Good Luck.....Research and make a move!
The only people getting rich while renting is the landlord!

Hi, These systems make the seller of the system rich. I have four very large rental properties and you can't buy anything without some sort of financing, and that either requires a loan or savings. I've never been able to buy anything with no money down. It always requires capital. These systems do not apply to the housing market in Vermont. I've owned seven properties in my life and all required money down. Don't get suckered in to the hype.

Both only give you tools that are know in the real estate field by experts.. What they are selling is a short cut and some knowledge for the novice.. It depends on what you intend to do with this info. If you have a real estate broker friend, he or she can give you the same info. The only thing with CS or JB, is its layed out for you and less research to be done.. Like anything else, common sense and positive thinking is the key to success in real estate or anything else you attempt to do..
Good luck

If these "systems" actually worked, these guys would be out making money, rather than trying to convince you to send your money to them.
