Russ Whitney
COMPLETENESS: Whitney's "Boot Camps" (there are several, at $199 each plus expenses) and the materials included do appear to cover several methods, but seem to be purposely kept vague to insure the customer will require the expensive mentoring.
COACH COST: Up to $15,000 or more
COACH QUALITY: There is no evidence that Russ Whitney's "coaches" are experienced, actual investors. Many of the complaints against the Whitney program at the BBB and elsewhere concern coaches who are less than professional and knowlegeable.
SUCCESS RATE: Cannot be determined, as they do not monitor or poll customers for this. However, from the various sources of information, all indications show a negligible success rate.
BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU RATING: Mr. Whitney's rating at the BBB is among the worst in the history of the BBB. His BBB record is so poor, the BBB states it will no longer handle any more complaints about him - they have washed their hands of him, so to speak.
OVERALL COST: $199.00 per boot camp (of which several are required). Mentoring is an additional cost, running up to $15,000 or more
COMMENTS: Based upon all sources, the Whitney program is one of the worst real estate courses to ever be offered. Mr. Whitney had attempted to "strong-arm" us into removing this page, but the truth is always the best defense, so this page will remain. However, ee are willing to change it, and give a better review as soon as there is some indication that Whitney is offering a better, more worthy program.
