| $600,000 a Year Positive Cash Flow and $2,000,000 in Immediate Equity |
 I heard you speak and knew that commercial real estate was something that wanted to get into but never knew how. Nobody was teaching it, so I jumped at the opportunity to learn from you.
We wanted to invest in our home town, but the returns were lousy and properties were overpriced. But using you creative techniques for locating properties, were able to fish from a different pond. We didn’t have to deal with brokers or face competition from other investors, because you showed us how to look where nobody else was looking.
Then it happened. I found a deal and evaluated I with your awesome software. The property was excellent and the cash flow was amazing. The seller wanted to retire and was motivated to sell. He was asking only asking 5.2 million, even though I was able to determine with your software that it was worth close to 7 Million.
Using your coaching, your personal money guys and the creative financing you taught me, I was able to get the deal done. The property and accompanying business cash flow $50,000 a month after debt service! That’s $600,000 in positive cash flow a year.
Add that to the $2,000,000 million in equity I gained at the closing table, and I would say that it was a decent deal for my first try.
Scott, you gave me the tools I needed to get this deal done. Without your system, I would not have gotten this or any deal done.
Thank you again for all the guidance and for changing my life, I am forever in debt to you!!

| $3,000 To $4,000 Per Month Cash Flow From A $109,000 Commercial Property |
 “I was at your Commercial Property Academy in Cleveland back in August. Well, shortly after the Academy, I ran across a daycare center building that was owned and run by the Head Start government program. It is about 9,000 sq. ft. with a 3,000 sq. ft. parking lot and a 3,000 sq. ft. play ground area. They were only asking $109,000 for it! I put in an offer right away. I wanted to offer less but then my gut told me I shouldn’t be greedy and I knew there were two other offers the same day so I made an offer for the full amount and they accepted!
“It took me a few weeks but I just acquired a tenant for $3,000 per month for the first year, then it goes up to $4,000 per month for the remainder of the lease.
“I also got a call from a gentleman who wants to install a cellular tower in the back of the building. He will pay a $3,000 option which buys him six months to do his research and get city approval, then he will rent from me for $1,000/month! So... I could potentially make $4,000 a month for the first year and $5,000 for the next. My mortgage payment is under $1,000/month!! Pretty nice cash flow for only a $109,000 investment!
“I want to say THANK YOU, Scott, for giving me the motivation to pursue commercial deals aggressively. The software was a godsend because it truly helps analyze the deals the right way and forecast the future profits.”

| $1,100,000 in Profits in 12 Months!!! |
 I attended your "Commercial Real Estate Seminar" in September 2005. After attending your impressive seminar, I came out with so much new information and a new motivation for success which I was able to apply immediately.
Using your creative methods to acquire property, I began to closely examine several opportunities. Your incredibly valuable "Opportunity Evaluator" software helped me determine that I should focus on a 26,000 SF office building in the Northwest Chicago suburb of Mount Prospect .
Scott, the solid personal advice that you offered me gave me the competitive edge of an experience bidder even though this was my very first attempt at a commercial auction.
A partnership dispute forced this building to auction sale. As-is the property is worth over $1,872,000. On September 20th, I won the bid at $1,500,000.
So I gained over $372,000 accessible equity to my balance sheet within a few short weeks of applying your system!!!
Due to mismanagement by the partnership, the occupancy had declined in an area of high demand. It will take me less than 12 months to lease the property up to market level and when I do the property will be worth around $2.6 million.
That’s $1.1 Million in profit in less that 12 months!!! This opportunity would not have been there for me had I not learned and applied your systems!
I highly recommend your training for either the novice or advanced real estate investor for new and higher levels of success and motivation.

| $47,000 in Just 20 Days!!! |
 Thank You So Much!!! I am an immigrant from Bulgaria , and only came to Canada 5 years ago, $45,000 in debt, and looking for new opportunities.
I had been listening to other real estate gurus and purchased many of their courses, but never took action on their materials. Then I heard you speak in Toronto on July 11th, 2005, and I signed up and started applying, and within a week located a opportunity, a mixed use building in Cambridge right where I live.
The building was 12,000 sq. ft. and had 3 retail and 9 residential units. The rents were below market and it was 80% occupied and they were asking $639,000. I used your amazing opportunity evaluator to determine that I should offer $575,000. The seller was willing to carry back 20% and the strength of the rent roll convinced the bank to finance me, despite my poor credit rating.
I submitted the offer and it was accepted. I closed on August 10th less than one month after hearing you speak.
Your Commercial Quickstart Program helped me realize that a quick-flip was the best exit strategy for me. So, the next day I put it back on the market. I ran an ad in the local paper got an offer. On August 30th it sold for $622,000. That's $47,000 on a property I only owned for 20 days!
I'm currently evaluating 9 more properties, all very exciting!!! I know you don't need to teach, but I'm so glad that you do. Thank you again so much for inspiring me to my new way to wealth through commercial real estate!

| $10,000,000 in Cash & Equity |
 2 years ago, I was looking to get out of my residential real estate business when I was introduced to you and your Commercial Property Academy . I had felt that I was just dinking around buying homes, and was ready for the big-time.
I started using your systems, following them meticulously step-by-step. Since then deals have just unfolded before
my eyes.
Using your methods for generating leads, I located hundreds of leads. After sifting through the mountain of leads with your Opportunity Evaluator, I have closed on 8 properties in 4 states!!!
One was a Retail Strip Center I picked up under-market value for $800k, and after repairing, I sold it for 1.7 Million!!!
I pocketed 900k off that one.
Another was a 104 unit apartment building. I was able to purchase it for only 800k, then repaired it. It is now under contract for 5.4 Million!!! All told, I have generated over 10 Million dollars in equity and cash using your system!
The course taught me that integrity and ethics are as important as the numbers. The best part is that after learning from Scott, I am now able to teach other women investors break into the “Boys-Club” of Commercial Real Estate. It has been an absolute pleasure working with you, and knowing that I have such high quality people standing behind me teaching what I need to succeed.
Thank You So Much,

| $98,000 in 45 Days |
 Thank you for your information and inspiration. Immediately, I took action and I located a 107-unit apartment complex for sale at $2.5 million. My first gut reaction was to purchase the property until I sat down and evaluated the property with your Opportunity Evaluator™ software. I was fully prepared to purchase that complex. My emotions said ‘Yes’, my ego said ‘Yes’, but your Opportunity Evaluator™ said ‘No, No, No!’
Because of your ‘Bullet Proof’ thorough training I did not purchase the 107-unit apartment complex. That’s right… I said I did NOT purchase! Closer evaluation showed it to be too high in price. Had I purchased that complex I would be over $1 Million upside down today. Thank you!!!
Good News! I evaluated another property with your Opportunity Evaluator™ on December 26, 2004 which proved to be a winner! The property was a 16-unit apartment complex for sale at $227,000 from a large bank.
I ran the numbers through your Opportunity Evaluator™ and it said ‘GO!’ So I did! I purchased the complex with none of my own money and sold it in 45 days for $325,000.
Talk about the completely addictive thrill of buying Real Estate with not a dime of my money and then selling the property in 45 days and making $98,000! I love this business!
Thank you again,

| $50 Million Dollars In Commercial Real Estate |
 “I have been a victim of your awesome training in that I have been unable to write this letter due to the quality and serious volume of deals that we are in various stages of closing. Your systematic and common sense approach to evaluating commercial real estate has helped me immeasurably.
“As a result of your training we closed on $50,000,000 in commercial real estate in October, 2004, at a total purchase price of $29,000,000. We are in the process of evaluating more than $600,000,000 more, most of which is highly probable within the next 24 months. The most exciting aspect of all of this is the resulting cash flow. AND IT IS EXCITING!!!
“Scott, you are the ‘real deal’. Your success was spoken of in ancient times in these words: ‘He who wishes to be the greatest among you must learn to be the servant of many.’ I’m thankful to number you among my friends and to be among the many beneficiaries of your servitude.
Friends for life,

| Instant Positive Cash Flow Of $5,670 Per MONTH |
 "My brother and I attended your last boot camp a few weeks ago. While at your seminar we had brought some deals with us to look at. One of those was an apartment building. We plugged the numbers into your Opportunity Evaluator™ software and it looked great!
“Talk about opportunity! Out of the three buildings, one of them had two whole floors that were never rehabbed since the old owner had bought them 10 yrs ago.
"Long story short, we had our offer accepted for $720,000. Based on our numbers, we project the property will be worth $1,478,000 – and the best part is it has an instant positive cash flow of $5,670 per MONTH.
“Thanks Scott. I haven’t quit my J-O-B yet but it won’t be long. Like you said, knowledge is power. Thanks for giving us all the power we’ll ever need!!!!!”

| 51 Units For The Price Of A 3-Bed, 2-Bath Home |
“It's been just a month since we attended your 3-day intensive Academy in Las Vegas. I can't believe we are writing this thank you letter so soon after taking your seminar!
“We returned home to L.A. inspired, motivated, and fearless. A few days later, we learned of a 51-unit complex in Texas scheduled for foreclosure auction. Before having attended your Academy, I seriously doubt that we would have actively pursued this lead. We would have hesitated to work out-of-state, and the size of the project would have seemed an overwhelming and impractical challenge.
“We set about doing the necessary due diligence and research. Step by step, we followed the methods that you taught us and started plugging our numbers into your (awesome!) Opportunity Evaluator™ software. Just like we learned in your class, we worked up several different scenarios to compare a number of different exit strategies.
“We won the bid at $855,000, which buys a three-bedroom, two-bath home where we live. In our exit strategy, we stand to cash out with a net profit of
$3.5 - $4 million. (‘In ONE deal!’) Wow!
“Thank you so much for your inspiration, your guidance, and your support, Scott.

| "I Have Never Been So Excited About My Business" |
“Wow, Scott! It doesn’t seem like it, but it has been almost a year since I attended your Commercial Property Academy. Looking back I can’t believe how different my business has become.
“When I started out in this business I was basically in a ‘buy a junker - flip a junker’ mindset. With an occasional fix up and retail thrown in. Don’t get me wrong, I did pretty good flipping 40 to 50 houses a year with the occasional keeper for rental income as my main business model.
“After attending your seminar, everything has changed. I switched my thinking to bigger numbers and bigger deals. As a result, I have on the market a recently rehabbed property that I bought for $300K and put $120,000 of fix up in it. It’s on the market for $625,000 and we have 3 contracts.
“I have since bought a property that will be converted into two units worth a retail value of $1.2 to $1.4 Million once fixed up. I also have under contract a nine-unit apartment building that will be converted to condominiums with an average sale price of $400-475K each with a potential profit of at least a Million Dollars. That’s not hype or hope. Those are based on verified comps that closed in the last year.
“Scott, I can tell you that I have never been so excited about my business since I began buying and selling real estate 9 years ago as I am today. Thanks to your Academy, not only did I do the above with little if any of my own money, I expect to do even bigger deals in 2005. I have a team that works for me doing the little deals now and I won’t go see a project and consider it worth MY time if there is not $300-400K on the backside. I can’t afford to!
“The breakthrough concepts you shared with us about the use of other peoples money and how the ‘numbers’ support the financing on the first day is worth the price of the Academy alone. I will attend a follow up class soon and look forward to seeing you again.”

| I have only been in this country for seven years |
I have only been in this country for seven years, and have never invested in real estate before. The day after I came back from Scott’s event in Ft. Lauderdale, I quit my job and found a 29-unit property for $525,000 with enough cash flow to replace my income. I bought it ‘no money down’ the way Scott taught me.
After one year, the property will be worth over
$1 Million. I will be able to pull out over $200,000, still own the property, and it will still cash flow over $50,000 per year. I am so thankful.

| $1,000 per month without a penny out of my pocket |
With your coaching, on my first commercial deal I was able to get the property without a penny out of my pocket. The seller was willing to do owner financing for a year.
The cash flow will conservatively be $1,000 per month. I thought this was a pretty good start into the commercial world :-). Thanks again for everything!

| I will make about $53,000... |
 I have been a Real Estate Broker in Texas for almost 5 years now. I came to your boot camp and started using your...method for down payment money to buy my first 4plex. I will make about $53,000 and I only spent about 2 hours on hours of work on the whole deal by writing the offer, calling my contractor and going to closing.
I also bought a single family house at the same time as the 4plex and I just closed on it Nov. 7, 2005 and I will make $23,166 and spent less than 2 hours on this deal too. My total profit will be over $76,000 on two deals, not bad.

| $2500 positive monthly cash flow |
(Using your 1031 exchange strategy), I went from owning a condo with $64,000 in equity to a 7 unit apartment house. I had a $522 positive cash flow on the condo, but now I have a $2500 positive monthly cash flow with the apartment house. The best part is, I did not take any cash out of my pocket. Thanks for all of your help as I went through this process... I had never done a 1031 exchange before, but it was a lot easier than I thought.

 Dave, I haven't been able to put into effect a fraction of the valuable information I learned at your boot camp, but just one concept I learned took me from doing 2-3 deals a month, to 7 deals, and $176,000 this January - just over a month after leaving your training. Thanks for teaching some great information and how to implement some awesome techniques. I can't wait to come back to the next one!"
I have made over $1,280,000 since attending your last Boot Camp!!

| HOW I BOUGHT $1 MILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF REAL ESTATE |
 HOW I BOUGHT $1 MILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF REAL ESTATE, THANKS TO YOU DAVE!
In August of 2005, my wife and I were introduced to Dave’s Boot Camp. We were just beginning our entree into Real Estate Investing. After hearing his invaluable secrets on 1031 Exchanges, we were able to exchange a property and save over $250,000 in Taxes. We are also getting over $26,000 per year in Cash Flow!
We did not stop there though, after refinancing, we are pulling out $150,000 and buying 2 more multi-families!
We now own over a Million Dollars in Multi-Family real estate and have cash flow over $50,000 per year!

Single Family Houses |
| $10 to $50,000 in 30 days |
 The Pastor of our church challenged us to follow the story of the Talents and use our wits and ingenuity to multiply money entrusted to us. The money we raised would go to charity and with 49 of us participating we could learn some unique ways to make money. We each got $10 and 30 days to report back.
So being a real estate investor on a mission, I found in 3 days a new house listed on USLandCo.com. The seller was eager because his company decided not to tranfer him to Phoenix from Las Vegas. He agreed to sell it Subject To: and wanted no cash up front. The terms were take over the payments and pay him back his downpayment and landscaping costs after it was sold or refinanced.
The numbers were:
Value: $466,000
Purchase Price: $389,000
Amount Owed: $350,000
Note to Repay: $39,000
Payments: $2600
The loans were current and the house was new and never occupied. I faxed him a contract and he signed it and faxed it back. To make it binding I FedExed the $10 and the deeds for him to sign and have notorized. I called one of my investor buddies and she bought the contract for $2000. So now my $10 is $2000 and it's only been 7 days! Because I network with lots of people in the real estate game, I got a call from my loan broker. His partner bought a spec home from a custom builder that needed to be decorated and landscaped to reach it's max market value of $1,000,000. She bought it stripped down for $650,000 and has to sell because she's getting transfered out of state.
The numbers are:
FMV: $1,100,000
Purchase price: $700,000
Remodeling Costs: $100,000
I agreed to buy the house and used $1000 of the $2000 to open escrow. I have the credit to buy it for 100% but not the $100k to remodel. So I found a partner to buy into the deal for $50,000 and supply the $100,000 to get the job done. So now my $10 is $50,000! It's going to be a lot of fun to show up with $51,000 in $10 bills to demonstrate what's possible with a little faith and some education about real estate investing.
Thanks for letting me tell my story.

| Gig Harbor - At closing the seller gave me a check for $30k... |
Well, It's been over a two year project but has finally come to an end. Made $30k up front on the puchase of this SFR November of 2006 when I purchase the property from the owner. We negotiated our purchase price and at closing the seller gave me a check for $30k. Put the property on the market immediately at $35k more than we purchase the property for. It took three months to find a buyer. The purchase was a one year Option to Purchase at $22k more than our purhase price with a #2k option fee (really too low of a fee but buyer looked good for future business). The monthly Option payment was $2k per month with the buyer responsible for all property expenses until he exercised his Option. As it turned out he extended his Option another year for a $5k Option fee with the same payment plan. We just closed this property last week and received a net check for $17k. Ofcourse we the sellers did have three month of expenses that totalled approximately $5k but the bottom line for a net profit to us after all closing cost both sides ended up at $40K. Not too bad considering I did little to nothing during the two year period. Only drawback to holding the Option was that it affected my debt to income ratio for other investments that slowed me down some but have now learned other ways to work these type of transactions. Thanks for listening, Tony |

| From an alcoholic to a millionaire in the making. . . |
Four years ago I seemed unable to quit drinking but early in January of this year (2007) my company was able to turn a $1.00 investment into just over $32,000.00 on a single family residence. The business plan I have devised (with help, of course) will make over $10,000,000.00 in the next five years. This is WITHOUT assistance from a financial institution or any other substantial money partner (most start with seed money or credit-I started with alcoholism and debt). Adversity reveals character. I thank God for allowing me to learn about adversity and character, hardships and blessings, patience and perseverance, and most of all for giving me a second chance at life. I also want to thank Lee Parker for offering his website, expertise, and the many helpful teleseminars-don't worry Lee as soon as I can justify spending the money I'll be purchasing a few boot camp seminars through you. I'm looking at Scott Scheel's seminar in Los Angeles (in early May I believe)? Honestly it kind of scares me to think what I might be able to do with the numbers at that level of investing (thanks to God, my family's prayers and support, my phenomenal mentors, and my own stubborn will to get up each time I am knocked down.) Thank you for reading! Sincerely, Aaron Polk |

There is a certain amount of confidence that comes from knowing you can make money by flicking a switch. Here in Long Island, NY, the cost of living is high. Many of my friends from highschool are still living at home with their parents or renting little apartments. I was one of them until I learned the secrets of real estate investing. Now I'm on my way, teaching others to do the same. Spread the wealth. There's enough for everyone. |
| ...that was the beginning of a great relationship with one of the best Real Estate Investment establishments I have ever been associated with. |
 I attended US Land company's live seminar held in phoenix Arizona last year hosted by Lee and Lane Parker and that was the beginning of a great relationship with one of the best Real Estate Investment establishments I have ever been associated with. I have purchased several home study courses and have attended several live events that they have offered and they have treated me with the utmost in fairness, respect courtesy and beyond. I have received a ton of very useful education and I can't praise them enough. Thank you Lee and Lane. The office staff is always extremely helpful and a real pleasure to communicate with. Thank you Heather you have always been there for me when I really needed help, and a special thanks to Carleen who is a priceless Jewel. |
