More often that not these events turn out to be selling events for investment property in far away locations. Some of the other problems with these events include failure to disclose commissions, the promoter having relationships with the actual properties being sold or proposed and as a result misrepresenting the investment.

Getting started, after all, isn’t something that just happens; it’s something that you need to be committed to and ready for.
