Please take precaution against this company (Armando Montelongo Flip and Grow Rich)….! In the course of one yr., though I did not keep delivery of the course and did return in the allowed time, company sent my bank what appears to be an order by me, and have been taking out of my account automatically. They failed to send the cancellation papers…! In any event they are impossible to deal with and force me to shut down my account..
Stay away from these free trials and unethical companies….!

Some advice from a grandma to old to start another new business: I spend my winters in San Antonio and TODAY the economic situation here is offering one great opportunity after another. But this is also true in other places. I have watched Armando and his wife since they first appeared on A&E and I thought from the beginning they were doing it right. You do not have to be in love with the teacher to learn from them. I have had three businesses that I enjoyed a great deal. Made some money and did not starve but I worked hard; very hard. Sometimes my hourly income actually came down to less than a dollar an hour. But if you don’t go out on the limb for the fruit you do starve. Armando is a person who can give you the tools you need to reach out on that branch for the fruit. You don’t have to like him.

If you want to try the program, do a little research on line, and download it for free from torrent sites. I am sure it exist somewhere. If he rips people off rip his @@@ off. If you can’t find a torrent then lets create one. If someone already has the whole system google “how to create a torrent” then create one, and let people download it for FREE. Eye for and eye my friends. Yes it will hurt for the $1000 you got hit with, but if people download the package for nothing it will hit him harder in the long run.

What a joke.

I’m betting every person here calling Armando a scam is making less than $50k/yr.

I haven’t bought his stuff…so I can’t speak to it…but I do own my own business, and ANYTHING worth doing takes work. A lot of it.

So if you are looking for an alibi to blame your failure on, don’t start a business, and don’t buy someones info product. In real estate…or anywhere else. Simply go to work, @@@@@ about your boss, and resign yourself to a mundane, unremarkable existence.

If you want to start a business…and you’re starting from scratch (no money, no experience) then you’ll need to work your @@@ off in addition to learning what you need to succeed.

You need both. It’s totally worth it…but that’s what it rally takes.

Wow so much agressivity here!

Ok here’s a tips for everyone…

REAL ESTATE ISN’T FOR EVERYONE!

You got it now? Do you need a picture?

More free tips…

1- When you’ve got a bad credit or no cash down… GET A JOB AND PAY YOUR DEBT!
2- When you are close to depression because you bought a house to flip… Maybe you should re-consider your future in this business.
3- Relying only on a book is close to suicide! Get your hands on a team of experienced professionals! (Brokers, Contractors, etc…)
4- Find an association of real estate investors in your area that will offer REAL LIFE COACHING, helps, support, network, etc…

Finally, don’t jump into real estate business if you think that BUYING A DAMN BOOK/COURSE IS A SCAM. It would probably be too hard for you to manage your own business if you’re not even able to read the damn book!

Wow, so much negativity. So let me clear some things up. I purchased Armando’s program last year from this infomercial. Got it, and was very excited about doing deals and learning from Armando. A few months later, Armando announced he was coming to Houston, So me and my daughter came and after 5 minutes of hearing the pitch purchased the offering and a chance to be featured in his next infomercial. Well, we had to leave before the seminar was finished and once home I looked at the receipt and agreement and realized that it was the same program as the infomercial. The next Monday I immediately called and left a message, while the very nice representative took my information and guess what. They gave me a full refund and canceled my order.

So, Hell no Armando is not a rip off. You get out what you put in. Stop doing the least and expecting the most. In this current market if you can’t do any deals then maybe real estate is not your deal.

Peace and God Bless the Montelongo’s

Wow TCI, from the amount of spelling errors in your post, I now know that you don’t have to pass 5th grade English in order to own your own business. Thanks, I’m going to drop out of middle school and use my parents money to start flipping houses!

I have been flipping houses without Armandos books or systems and have been very successfull,Now that my LLC is growing large I needed some direction on controlling the monster I unleashed, Armondos book was a real confidence builder confirming the systems and business aplications I came up with on my own were correct..I will disregard alot of negative comments used here , as far as I can tell just your comments alone show the the lack of experience and knowledge you have in the business..I may never buy armandos system, But I dont like to see noobs spaming someone who is sincerly trying to help.Maby its for you, maby its not but if your not succesfull by now and you have so much experience dont you think soemthing is wrong?

“Steve” you say you have flipped four houses the past year and its alot of work, I fiped four houses last month with very little effort, and knowing this Iam wondering if your just a remodle contractor trying to make his own work and not a true flipper, for one if your not doign the work why was it so much work? you do the work yourself. Did you sale the house yourself? My broker and auction team handle that. All Iam doing is searchin the internet and checking emails for leads driving over peeking at the property and comps haveing lunch and contracting the purchase over the phone.
Sounds liek you got a lot to learn before you go talkign smack about the big dogs..

I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED!!

I ordered “ Flip & Grow Rich” with the bonus material “ The opportunity of our lifetime” back in 03-18-09.

The order was charged to my account on 03-23-09 under Armando Coaching Mat800.

It has been two full months and I have not received the material, notice of reciept or even a note saying “Thanks”.

I went into each possible website but could not find a customer service number to contact.

I sent an E-mail and it bounced back…

“The following recipient(s) could not be reached:

Armandoipaj@foxproxml.com on 5/21/2009 1:08 PM
Could not deliver the message in the time limit specified. Please retry or contact your administrator.
”

Is all this for real? or just another scam?

The cost was not much, but then, how many responses or “hits” can a single AD generate.

Senor Montelongo,

I trust you are a sensible man, a bit arrogant at times, but a man of your word.

I am from the old school where your word is heavier than your “CAJONES”.

To Freeman J, I’m one person who has been working on Armando’s program,
I have to say that I believe in his methods and so far things have been
working out. I have run into some challenges like with anything that’s a
part of learning, I shall overcome and I will get there.

I have to show my appreciation to Rocky for his comments, real valid. You find a lot of negativity around, because we tend to expect the “I Dream of Jeanie” approach. Pay the money “twiggle the nose” and magically all appears. All I wont is to get some legitimate feedback, from someone who has actually got started through Armando’s program, that’s all. It seems more people have comments, but none have actually tried. I don’t need a personal bio on the man and his family. Thanks.

To the author Rocky in response to your comment, you are so right, I did
find myself pondering on what I should do, Armando did give me the tools
to use and it’s up to me to find the resources that I need and use the
knowledge that I paid for to make the changes in my life that I want to
make, and that’s why I’m still at beating the pavement, I’m going to
make it happen for myself. I do appreciate your feedback.

Thanks You Sincerely
Marvin

It seems as if the people who have the most problems are the people who are the least willing to do the work.. I mean the only person here with a semi-valid complaint is the gentlemen with the hard money issue and even he seems content to allow others to do the work for him. I mean he has talked to 6 hard money lenders… there are thousands out there. I mean it took edison something like 10,000 tries to invent the light bulb. what if he had stopped after 6? would we still be in the dark? or would someone else have taken edison’s place? If you are looking for a way to become rich off the sweat of Armondo’s back and you fail the quite simply you have earned your results. he gives YOU the tools to make it happen yourself, you still have to be willing to do the work.. i was on the fence about this product but the naysayers have sold me on it..

Always remember, it if sounds too good to be true- it probably is.

AND………..anyone who tempts you w/ free gas via freegascentral.com—these people are rip off artists out of Florida.

Don’t know how much they scam from the bs. that uses their fake promo, but
consumers get ripped off of $5 to set up the rebate for the free gas.

Guess who gets gassed! Anything that seems like a confidence game-it is!!!!

In regards to the comments made by “BloughMee,” your ignorance is mind boggling! People flipping homes or buying any marketable products low and selling for a profit is the cornerstone of our free enterprise system. A good price is whatever the market will bear at that time and at that place, whether the product was sold for a 10% profit margin or a 200% profit margin. If someone had the know how to buy far below what you or I could acquire that product or service for resale, God bless them, so long as they aren’t putting a gun to anyone’s head to buy the product or service. As for your racist remark referring to a “Hispanic” business man, Armando Montelongo, as “greasy, be careful, its a very good way to get your redneck @@@ kicked. Why can’t people agree to disagree in a respectful manner without such offensive remarks. I can assure you that most individuals will view your comments as more relevant and worth considering if you omit your bigotted references, even if they disagree with your position. Please rethink your approach in attempting to provide your differing view in affording anyone constructive criticism. Think about it!

You people have gotta be kidding – dudes like this greasy “Armando” buying crap properties…slamming a coat of paint over the rotten spots, and then selling them to some unsuspecting schmuck for 5x what they were worth is what got our economy in the mess it’s in. When GWB wanted every American to own a home… he was thinking “at normal market prices” .. NOT prices inflated by a factor of FIVE in some markets. That’s right.. thanks to gray-line criminals like the “House Flippers” coupled with the equally gray-line criminal lenders… we had houses in Orlando, and San Diego, and Las Vegas, and thousands of other places in the USA suddenly selling for 3-5X what they were actually worth, often with a bunch of horribly executed “repairs” by people with zero.. ZERO… trade skills. All that crap will have to be torn out and re-done once prices come back to earth. WHAT A JOKE.

I don’t know whats going on with Armando Montelongo & his Flip And Grow Rich course, but every time I go to the Armando Montelongo site it’s jacked up or isn’t functioning correctly. When I go to different pages they are all the same.

I also signed up for his affiliate program & have been getting leads but I am not getting paid & am unable to login to view my sales. I wonder if they are doing the same thing with this program as they did in Texas?

I have emailed tech support MANY times & never got a response. Appears their contact form is broken.

Out of desperation I tried emailing Armando Montelongo & his wife both via Myspace trying to get a response from him. Natta…

Last month I finally got a response from someone in tech support, they said they would look into it & get back to me the next day. Natta. Now my affiliate account is suspended…

What a guy Armando Montelongo is! I can’t believe Mike Filsaime & Joel Therien actually worked with this guy…
