I have read 4 of Dean's books and to date i haven't found anything wrong with his material. I like the way Dean writes and presents his techniques and i am very much looking forward to his next book
i would have to say that i spent all that money on other courses and Dean's inexpensive books are just about as good as any of the courses out there that cover the same material. i also would have to say that there aren't many other "gurus" out that that care as much as Dean seems to and who else has a free website where we can all communicate with each other. no one!
I don't have one!! Deans books, programs, the academy etc. Have all the information and theory needed to go out and take action.
Now what I do have complaints about are the people that have all this information and come on this site and post questions that are in the material they already have. Indicating they did NOT study and are lazy!! You must take action, no course, no "virtual investing", no computer is going to establish a consistent business model for you. Learn your market, your product or have the people on the ground that can do it for you, period.

is the people that label Dean as a guru and give him a bad name because they gave up and attribute that to Dean's material. There's a site that goes so far as not allowing anyone to talk about him on their website at all. Its like a conspiracy theory over on Bigger Pockets. They will delete ANY message that mentions his name at all; good or bad.
Threads get deleted here sometimes that shouldn't be; but its to keep the atmosphere here positive. But over there, so much as a HINT at his name and you get reported and your post removed. (How do I know this??? ... little rebel me has posted about Dean on at least 4 occasions over there. Each time I get a personal message from Josh (he runs and owns Bigger Pockets) about what a great sin I've committed. ) I'm such a big rabblerouser, aren't I?
We should all go to bigger pockets and start posting good advise and encourage people to make money and take action and then always at the en of the post state how much we have learn from DEAN!!!!
Those that have the instruments to fish and sit on the shore gazing in space. Those that reach late and the train has already left the station. The complainers that continues to complain while everyone else is shooting for the finish line.

My biggest complain is more of a regret... I wish I had joined this site sooner , and I wish I had joined the Success Academy a bit later...
There are so many great people on this site that are like family! I look forward to 'chatting' with them and learn from them every day.
I wish I had read more threads here before I joined the S.A. I want to make the most of the coaches and be able to get my five deals before I reach my year!
Dean has made me a stronger, more knowledgeable person; he has made me an investor!

A "Majic Wand" My wife presented me with several negative Blog comments this week about Deans Books and System.
Not One says I spend thousands of dollars on joining the Success Academy and was ripped off.
Every one of them were people that read the book and put it on the shelf and immediately began telling everyone that those get rich programs never work.
I have taken Carlton Sheets course, Russ Whitneys course and now Deans course.
I have been involved in buying and reselling properties on and off for twelve years and never have I encountered any learning system that comes close to what Dean offers to all of us.
Good Luck and Take what Dean offers and run with it. The only way it doesn't work is if YOU Don't.

I believe I saw someone having problems with a question of agency when they attempted to use the instant equity exchange in the state of Massachusetts. Can't direct you to the specific post but it might be worth searching.
I think that you are on the right track when you say that nobody or system is perfect. Dean has put together and offered some great tools that have allowed me to overcome my fear of doing this. I think more than anything Dean is a great motivator. Yes he offers great products and services through the Edge, Success Academy and Books, but I think it's all about what each individual person does with those tools. As for me, I would have liked to have seen a little better coverage of all of the product offerings from the one day "seminar" to the 3 day seminar. Although I haven't completed the Boots on the Ground" portion of my training so I really don't have too much room to complain. I am excited about building my family's future with real estate and regardless of Dean's "imperfections", I have nothing but respect and gratitude for him and his DG team and family. Without that, I would still be sitting on the sideline. The knowledge is out there for ANYONE to get, it's getting your butt into ACTION that will make the difference!! Dean can't do it for any of us, but I do know that he motivates the heck out of me and I'm excited to be a part of the "family".

With that said, there are areas in the country that are easier than others, and definitely some areas where some of the techniques are more difficult to do, but he gives us many different strategies to use and try.
Like I said in the beginning, some of the responses were of a "how dare you ask if there are any complaints to Deans' methods" tone, which I didn't agree with.
Its only human nature to question something that doesn't go your way, but then what you do afterwards is on you.
I don't believe i've ever told someone to just DO IT because to me in this biz thats the equivalent of jumping in an empty pool head first. I think having a plan, be it from beginning to end is the best method and while I do see that Dean gives a foundation on things, his way to the letter is not everyones way to the letter and they must alter it to their needs or regions or parties ie, buyers or sellers.
I don't think anyone meant this was perfect and just jump in. I took the question as, is anyone having problems in any areas, and does anyone have any reasons this may not be the best system. He is checking it out before committing.
I had a t-shirt years ago that said Just do it. Means learn what to do and then do it. Because too many will learn and then do nothing.
My dad taught me when I was young how to do some engine repair on my car, and I was scared to do it, though I knew how. He told me... just do it. When I did, wasn't scared at all. Riding horses, doing some barrels, had to just do it. So in all aspects of life, knowledge is nothing unless we do it.
I love Deans system, because I didn't feel scared or stupid, he gives support and you don't have to spend thousands to learn the basics.
But I do agree with you, we need to watch that we don't get away from the question.
I myself love this website and that we can do this, never found this in any other systems, it sure gave me a push!
Sandi
I have heard a few complaints about the success academy, I guess it's contracted out and you don't always deal with the same company ( haven't purchased it yet, I've just read it on this site )
On the other hand, many, many more people say that they strongly reccommend the S.A. and it works great.
Also, I think it would be nice if Dean would come to my house and teach me in person for free. Just a thought Dean
Just kidding, I don't personally have any complaints but I'm new at this and just happy to be able to plug in to all of the knowledge that is offered in Dean's books and on this site.
I just joined the SA and love it. Tried college and it wasn't for me. Hated the fact that I had to take courses that I wasn't interested in. The SA focuses on what we want to learn. Love the fact that I control the pace at which I learn. Its hard working full-time and going to school. The SA shows how bad you want it for the simple fact that its all on you. Love the coaches. I do think that it might be contracted out, but I think its all put in place to help us out. I can say from my personal experience, a month ago I was just reading Dean's book. Today, I'm taking action. Nike had it best, JUST DO IT!!!..
I take issue with people that feel they have a need to complain about things that they can control.
To me, Dean's materials & teachings (or anyone else's for that matter) wasn't and never will be a one-size-fits-all solution. I use other real estate materials to supplement with what I've learned from Dean's materials and the Success Academy. It's not so much the material isn't valid as it is the way it's presented for your personal intellectual absorption.
I originally had a coach that I wasn't compatible with so I got a different one.
It's no biggie people, take what you can use and leave the rest, find the missing spots in your information somewhere else or by asking around.
And above all, be thankful for what you already have.

As long as you work them. But the coaches themselves I didn't get much help from. I was still able to do deals but only after networking with other people in my area that I met at the REIA I helped form (Since there wasn't one in my area. Now we have 4.) Just work the information you learn, find a technique that works for you and get paid.
I suppose people did not want to say anything bad on here especially as they see this as a great forum to get help, but I also understand Elix and using constructive criticism and that could only help Dean to improve if they thought it was a valid criticism of his programs. Just not sure if people will want to do that here or not. Great to see what so many people think. I continue to learn from you all especially a certain rebel. LOL!!!
I also don't think posts should be deleted. I think that if there is only positives it just isn't that reliable as there is no balance. I also know that people have different views, but I think there is some room for opposing views. We learn from those as well. Deleting posts would be my main complaint!
To answer the question (unlike some others), my biggest complaint(s) is not being able to submit a support ticket or being able to submit seminar feedback.
Also, Dean lends his name to several different, "Systems," so it's hard to know which the OP is referring to.
If I had one other, "Complaint," it would be that there is no payment plan to be able to purchase the more advanced systems. I'm not sure how Dean's company would pull that off from a business point of view, but there are many students and users that can't afford to purchase $2,000-5,000 systems, but they could easily make that much on their first deal, too. However, I know that Dean is caring and is very aware of the economy and the financial difficulties of his students as are the people that work for Dean.
I would have jumped in feet first two years ago and done a number of deals by now, but as a disabled, Gulf War Veteran I find it hard to afford Dean's more advanced systems, real estate investing or even promoting my real estate sales business.
eboneyrose620 that is a bummer I also felt that at the 3 day seminar but I was just overrsensitive but I hope you are better and that is uncharacteristic of Dean's organization. DJmario I echo what you said we have to push through, my biggest complaint is that when I talk to the coaches & tell them I am following the 25:1 system I get sometimes a little bit of diff advice than what I get from Matt on the dvd's or rock bottom blueprint but then I realized that the coaches too have diff strategies they are using and we just have to stick to our guns w/thge strategy we picked and just do it for lack of a better term ha. no offense. I do love this site and truly there is no other like it or at least I havent found anything like it and I did get another system and it is a cheap version of Dean;s and cost more money! unbelievable!
I am truly sorry to hear about your health issues but I trust that is behind you now and you are well on your way to full recovery. God's blessings to you and your family.
You actually raised an interesting point about the Success Academy. I too paid for the SA and looked forward to following their advice and making it work for me (and getting my check back also after five {5} deals). Well then along came AIG and I was laid off and knocked off of my game. Actually to steal a phrase from someone else, I guess someone 'moved my cheese'.
I was in the process of getting a rental property when I was laid off in May 2009, right after attending EDGE 2009. This really knocked me off of my game and took the wind out of my sails. How could I finance any transactions without an income of any sorts.
Well, I am still under-employed but I have to say something very good about the Success Academy. Here it is a few years later, I still have access to the online courses AND I STILL HAVE ACCESS TO THE SUCCESS ACADEMY AND CAN CALL THEM UP WITH MY QUESTIONS!! So how can I complain if after all of these years they still honor our agreement and I can still consult them??
In all honesty, DEAN is the real deal. Other's are just interested in how much they can squeeze out of your pocket; Dean on the other hand really wants us all to succeed. THAT is the difference; and no complaints about Dean or his courses here.
lonestar and success4life, thank you. yes I am cancer free at this point it took a few years I ended up losing both breast which is not so bad I hated wearing a bar anyway lol. I do believe in the program and I am working on getting my first deal done. I spoke with a private investor today with any luck he will fund my deal and we both can make a little money.

I have read 4 of Dean's books and to date i haven't found anything wrong with his material. I like the way Dean writes and presents his techniques and i am very much looking forward to his next book
is most of the people who purchase the system get overwhelmed and dont take action and use the system to change their life...and then complain

I'm not sure how Dean's company would pull that off from a business point of view, but there are many students and users that can't afford to purchase $2,000-5,000 systems, but they could easily make that much on their first deal, too. However, I know that Dean is caring and is very aware of the economy and the financial difficulties of his students as are the people that work for Dean.
I would have jumped in feet first two years ago and done a number of deals by now, but as a disabled, Gulf War Veteran I find it hard to afford Dean's more advanced systems, real estate investing or even promoting my real estate sales business.

eboneyrose620 that is a bummer I also felt that at the 3 day seminar but I was just overrsensitive but I hope you are better and that is uncharacteristic of Dean's organization. DJmario I echo what you said we have to push through, my biggest complaint is that when I talk to the coaches & tell them I am following the 25:1 system I get sometimes a little bit of diff advice than what I get from Matt on the dvd's or rock bottom blueprint but then I realized that the coaches too have diff strategies they are using and we just have to stick to our guns w/thge strategy we picked and just do it
for lack of a better term ha. no offense. I do love this site and truly there is no other like it or at least I havent found anything like it and I did get another system and it is a cheap version of Dean;s and cost more money! unbelievable!

Belinda,
I am truly sorry to hear about your health issues but I trust that is behind you now and you are well on your way to full recovery. God's blessings to you and your family.
You actually raised an interesting point about the Success Academy. I too paid for the SA and looked forward to following their advice and making it work for me (and getting my check back also after five {5} deals). Well then along came AIG and I was laid off and knocked off of my game. Actually to steal a phrase from someone else, I guess someone 'moved my cheese'.
I was in the process of getting a rental property when I was laid off in May 2009, right after attending EDGE 2009. This really knocked me off of my game and took the wind out of my sails. How could I finance any transactions without an income of any sorts.
Well, I am still under-employed but I have to say something very good about the Success Academy. Here it is a few years later, I still have access to the online courses AND I STILL HAVE ACCESS TO THE SUCCESS ACADEMY AND CAN CALL THEM UP WITH MY QUESTIONS!! So how can I complain if after all of these years they still honor our agreement and I can still consult them??
In all honesty, DEAN is the real deal. Other's are just interested in how much they can squeeze out of your pocket; Dean on the other hand really wants us all to succeed. THAT is the difference; and no complaints about Dean or his courses here.

lonestar and success4life, thank you. yes I am cancer free at this point it took a few years I ended up losing both breast which is not so bad I hated wearing a bar anyway lol. I do believe in the program and I am working on getting my first deal done. I spoke with a private investor today with any luck he will fund my deal and we both can make a little money.
