Thanks! I figured that if I did enough reasearh I could find the same info, with out wasting my money. And if his system were helpful, and worth it, then I may have considered it. Now I know that it's not worth it. I have a best answer, I just have to wait an hour to select it.

I bought his Free & Clear system a few years ago. I was thoroughly unimpressed with it. All the manuals were chock full of spelling errors, it looked so unprofessional...like nobody'd even taken the time to review it before it was published. I took that as the first bad sign, because how can you have respect for your product and your customers if you leave your product looking like CRAP? Of course, spelling just happens to be one of my biggest pet peeves, so maybe it upset me more than other people.
The actual information in the manuals/CDs was also a lot different than I'd expected. First of all, a lot of the website links didn't work and were dead ends. I gleaned some useful information from it, but didn't feel that the system went into enough depth. In a nutshell, I was disappointed.
My co-investor (my dad) ended up going to a tax sale in our county, and was completely shocked when he realized that there were perhaps a dozen or more other investors (with a lot more money!) there ready to pounce on the properties. John Beck wants you to believe that there are scores of properties available for $300 or even $5000 or something. But my dad says that the bidding would go up to about $70,000 within a minute. I was shocked to hear Dad's report about that. I don't think John Beck tells you about the high level of competition there really is among these properties.
That being said, I DID learn SOME stuff from the Free & Clear course that I didn't know before...although I later found that same information for free on the internet.
Oh yes, if you buy the system, beware...after I bought it, I started getting calls from men saying they wanted to be my Free & Clear mentors and help me buy properties, as long as I coughed up several thousand dollars. I later found out that this was a scam, and that it happens to other John Beck customers too.
It is possible to buy cheap homes at tax sales, but you'd probably be better off skipping this course and finding the same information online for free.

There is a TON of profit in the John Beck system, but unfortunately it all goes to John Beck. The 'system' is nothing that you can't figure out on your own with a bit of study, and it's misleading as well. Read merebear83's response to your question.
He's right on the money !
