Robert Allen is an author and seminar hype man that is most known for his work with real estate courses.
Throughout the years Robert Allen has advertised products such as "Nothing Down for the 2000's", "Multiple Streams of Income", "Creating Wealth", and "One Minute Millionaire".
But can you really become wealthy with Robert Allen's real estate courses?
Much of the information taught by Robert Allen has come under fire for several reasons. Similar to other real estate gurus Robert Allen concentrates on real estate methods that focus on buying distressed properties. These include foreclosures, estate sales, and a variety of financially mismanaged properties.
Robert Allen focus on these because you can procure a low buying price due to the strenuous circumstances of the seller. The problem is that people like Robert Allen falsely present these cases as a commonality in the real estate market.
Robert Allen has been accused of preying on folks without much real estate experience. He convinces them that riches are just a seminar or short read away. However, much of the information that he preaches is the same recycled material that can be found anywhere on the net.
His real estate seminars have been compared to circus acts, with Robert Allen as the main attraction. They charge people absurd amounts of money to attend these wealth building pep rallies in which emotions run high and useful information is scarce. There is even a point in the "show" where Allen breaks down and cries, all in an effort to boost sales.
This is why many people have accused Robert Allen of making most of his money from being a seminar face man rather than from following his own advice. He has also been behind several other marketing ploys. For instance he was involved in marketing vitamins and an internet marketing course.
In Robert Allen's Internet marketing course he brags about how he made around 90 thousand dollars in 24 hours.
However, what he left out is that he did it by pitching his enormous opt in list of at least twice that many people. Allen also failed to mention that a list like that costs an immense amount of money and time to cultivate, and his was the product of thousands of advertising dollars.
Overall his negative reputation follows him for a reason, and that's because Robert Allen is not, IMO, a trust worthy guy. In the past his company has gotten into trouble with the IRS and eventually filed for bankruptcy. It's speculated the move was to avoid paying mounting refund requests.
I would be very careful with buying his products, some have decent information for their price but most are rehashed no money down gospels.
Please remember people that any get-rich-quick presentation by anyone on any subject should be looked at as a scam and fully researched before putting any money into it.
There is no such thing as getting rich quick.
Yes those guys are rich and they got that way by selling their scheme to people who can't afford it.
