I very rarely take the time to post negative reviews about products/services. But in this case, I feel obliged to do so in order to warn others before they put down $10,000 of their hard-earned money. I have been a "Preferred Investor Group"(PIG) member in San Antonio for a little bit over a year or so and have purchased 2 houses thru Lifestyles. I choose to post with a psedo identity as it is not pragmatic to criticize a organization after paying a hefty sum in advance (which effectively precludes you from using services from other organizations). I disagree with some of you who may claim that some of the below points are trivial. When you are being charged $10,000 a year, the service/product provided has to be top notch. I have paid less than $10k a year to other organizations (not RE orgs) and have received far superior services/customer service. - Responses via email or phone from the realtors at LS is not of top notch quality. I have had to email/phone/leave voicemails repeatedly to get traction on deals that i have been interested in. There have been numerous occasions when even a courtesy response was not provided to let me know that another member was already working on a house or the house was already under contract(and no, the Quest tool still indicated that the house was available for members). It seems like the organization does not feel the need to send even a courtesy response if a property is no longer available for LS members . Just ignoring a query is an unacceptable business practice in my book. The exception to this experience has been Dennis M. He has been prompt and courteous and goes the extra mile. - Properties on the MLS are "tagged" by the realtors within LS. And a property can be tagged by only one realtor. And once a property has been tagged, you HAVE to work with the realtor who tagged it and not with any other realtor within LS. This shifts incentive for the realtors within LS from providing good service and bagging repeat business to just be aggressive in tagging properties. This is in stark contrast to the vendors who are not allowed to tag properties and thus always have an incentive to provide good service and gain repeat business.Remember you have already paid $10k, so you are going to work with the realtors within LS rather than external realtors. - LS uses a catch phrase "Real Estate is Easy, People are difficult" implying that RE is easy, you just need to be able to deal with various temperaments of various people involved in the sealing of a deal. Yet [b]the San Antonio office has only 1 Single Family Mentor, Jim V.[b] If for any reason, you and him are not on the same wavelenth, you can be rest assured, you will have to really really go the extra mile to ensure all the is are dotted and ts are crossed during the various phases of a deal. He does not have any incentive to proactively ensure your deal is successful. $10k/year definitely should earn you multiple mentors(with a reasonable level of pro-activeness to return phone calls/emails and ensure that you are not forgetting to dot the is and cross the ts that you are unaware of) to work with. He has said that he has been extremely busy. Well, if you are too busy to respond to queries of people actively working on a deal, you need to stop advertising your services and taking peoples hard earned $$$s till you hire more resources.

Lifestyles Unlimited promises the world but under delivers by a mile. The goal of this company is NOT to help you succeed in real estate. Its goal is to SELL MEMBERSHIPS. The "Brian" below is probably the Brian who was in charge of selling memberships, who has himself started his own real estate membership group, which is just as big a fraud. A lot of very nice people get taken advantage of here. And the founder, Del Walmsley, couldnt care less. He made his money in real estate, yes, but all he really cares about is selling EXPENSIVE memberships. You cant get your money back. And the San Antonio market is so saturated with investors, it is near impossible to get back what you put into this company. I promise you - if you go there, you will be extremely tempted to take the plunge. But DONT DO IT.

Not yet convinced that anyone needs to spend tens of thousands in order to be afforded an opportunity to invest. That seems counter-productive to me. It really indicates that there is really just a special investors country club here. The information as to the "how" seemed very understandable and straightforward, which I respect. Del has found a great roadmap. But why do I then, after spending $500, need to spend $10K in order to invest tens of thousands more? That was one block I could not convince myself to jump. I have a family of 7 and it will take too long to get that much on top of what Id need for pure investment. So, until then, or the model of the country club changes, I guess its not for me.

Interesting. I spoke to Robert, a member in Houston who acquired 75 houses after 18 months of joining the FFP program. I also met the 2012 Apartment Award winners who have become Multi-millionaires after joining. These people are real. So What gives?! I would much rather pay $ to a LOCAL texas group than pay the guys from flip this house $40,000 for one phone call from a guru in Cali. Lifestyles Unlimited does not guarantee success, YOU actually have to show up and take action. There should be no excuse, the mentors are in the office everyday! I only have 7 houses so Im no expert but they have showed me everything I need to know to invest the right way.

I am now able to spend quality time with my wife and kids. Since completing the training and working one on one with my mentors Jim and David , I have applied several of the techniques... Keep doing what you are doing because you are changing lives. I know this because you have changed mine!!
