"Just cashed an $85,000 check for 1 flip, I am picking up another check at escrow tomorrow! I couldn't thank you enough for making this possible. Your Boot camp, buying and selling systems has taught me how to find, repair and sell, or HOLD properties for a profit when many are just waiting for “the bottom”. This property had been listed in MLS for 354 days, after the rehab, I was able to close the transaction 5 weeks later, it sold for $25K more than the previous listing price. Crazy market, but THE NORRIS GROUP has given me the tools and MONEY I need to buy, rehab and make properties "scream" at you when browsing the MLS. I'm now in 3 more escrows. THANK YOU and your great team: Diana, Bruce, Greg, Craig, Aaron & everyone else in your team. I'm looking forward to more training and more checks!" - S. Brigliadoro
"Bruce, Aaron, Greg and staff, I appreciated the professional, thoughtful, and thorough approach with which the bootcamp was put together.Taught in a clear, concise and simple/easy to understand manner offering real world examples on what it takes to be successful as a real estate investor. the utilization of professionals within the industry to speak at your event (Lance the broker, Craig your in house lender, Rick your appraiser,Greg your rehab manager, and Aaron your marketer) further helped to reinforce the importance of having specialialized knowledge and these types of team members in place for your business to succeed. Lastly, thank you to you Bruce, for providing a wealth of knowledge to the industry, and on top of having such a busy schedule, being accessible for advice!" - J.Tusko
"On the 1st deal after taking your training, I bought an REO, did the rehab and sold it for a net profit of $45,000. I only had the property for 75 days. I had been hesitant to flip properties in this real estate enviroment, but Bruce convinced me to take the chance. I'm glad I did. Many thanks to Bruce, Craig and the entire staff. You have a top notch organization." - G. Lemoine
"Exceeded my expectations and gave me a very clear game plan of what to be doing, and more importantly not doing, in the down market in the years ahead. All of the staff was marvelous." - Craig T.
"I have been investing for awhile now and have not come across too many others I wanted to be associated with. As the bootcamp it was 5 out of 5. I wish I would have taken this years ago. The sum of the bootcamp scared me after being ripped off by the GURUS. hail Bruce. Everyone and the Norris group is totally approachable and love to teach. I could recommend the camp any less. Felipe Goodlife Enterprises bringing good into every deal." - F. Beorrero
"I have been in this business and known Bruce for 20 years. When my daughter decided to get back into the business with me it was time for her to be introduced to the current market and the best methods of making her program work.That is why I told her we would start at the top with THE BEST.and we signed up for the TNG Bootcamp..She is off to a flying start and more importantly doing it the right way. We will be attending more TNG Workshops and events togeather in the future. Greatfully, Jim Sowards"
"The boot camp was great, it brought structure and organization to a business that appears to be chaotic and uncertain. I feel now that I have the blue prints necessary to make the best purchasing decisions" - P. Martinez
"Fantastic experience. As a first time investor this has given me the tools and confidence to begin looking for properties right now! The group of students included so many seasoned investors that it in itself has become another great resource!" - V. Osborn
" I really liked how well we were treated. It gives me great confidence that I am on the right track in regards to my philosophies in growing my business. I especially like that you are now available to me as an ongoing support resource. That makes all the difference! I took your training because I know that you are one of the best, that you are honest and sincere, that you care about our success, and that you are there to support me going forward. Thank You, it was everything I expected!" - J. Crandall
"The Boot Camp did not disappoint. After going through the training, I feel I have learned to look one step ahead and plan for not only what is working today, but what may be working next week. Bruce blazes the trail and discovers opportunities and then equips his students to take advantage of them. Priceless! I would highly recommend all of TNG's training and education to real estate professionals of all levels." - Anon
"I am very fortunate to have had the opportunity to attend the September 09 Boot Camp which was extremely informative. I learned some practical and pertinent information on today's market in this particular region. I also was able to walk away with some excellent tools and useful information on not only how to locate and evaluate potential deals, but also what do to with them once they are acquired. The knowledge and expertise of Bruce Norris, not to mention his high level of integrity, sets him apart from the rest. Additionally, the outstanding team Bruce has assembled makes the Norris Group the best resource I have found for Real Estate related education and training resources. I would highly recommend." - J. Jett
"At this bootcamp I enjoyed the closeness and interaction of the group. Before coming I struggled with how to find REO brokers to work with. Being able to listen to a conversation Bruce had on the phone with an REO broker and having one attend the class and speak took away any comfusion that I had. Thank you." - Paul
"I was very surprised at the idea of repairing properties for "best value" as opposed to "sparkle and shine." Considering the plethora of properties on the market, I was somewhat confounded to learn that less is more. I think it will help me be more successful in having offers accepted. It will get me in and out of properties more quickly, and reduce the chance of mistakes with more in depth repairs. I enjoyed listening to how Bruce negotiates, he is, of course, light years beyond my expertise and it was fun to hear the logical path he takes. He makes it seem so simple. I really was sorry to see the boot camp come to an end. It was nice to have the small group because it makes it easy to get to know one another and creates more likelihood that some will stay in touch. The knowledge and confidence I gained were well worth the price, even more, dare I say. Knowledge is power, and the Boot Camp delivers!" - S. Leal with The Leal Group
"Truly the bootcamp was well worth the value in Gold! The scripts, contacts, resources, and processes are extremely valueable, especially to insight into the changing real estate market. I would certainly recommend to others and attend it again if there is a follow-up bootcamp!" - Anon.
" The TNG Bootcamp is a must have for anyone considering buying distressed real estate. I appreciate that the Norris Group keeps their information current, so it applies to the present real estate market. Most real estate investors understand that real estate markets have cycles of up and down markets. The most powerfull and potentially profitable information is you learn is how to determine which market cycle we presently in so you can predict what is coming next." - Anon.
"I liked the video Bruce made on buying at auction, preparing for it, etc. I liked being put on the telephones because that's the hardest part for me and it forced me to do that; now I think it will be easier! I also liked going to the houses and seeing how to price the offers on them and estimating the repairs. I loved Bruce's staff and how great they are with us, and Bruce is great ! It was nice to have such an easy and comfortable atmosphere there." - D. Sturla
"I like Bruce because he has experience with everything that was being taught and he presents information well. The hands on exercises are what I appreciated most." - Anon.
"I have attended several other seminars by other companies and the Norris Group seminar is far and away the most useful and practical information I have received. The information presented and the real world experiences of Bruce Norris and the other Norris Group personnel will be very helpful in my real estate investment career. Any real estate professional, regardless of experience, could benefit from this training." - B. Davidson
"Nothing really suprized me because I think I had fairly high and realistic expectations going in. Initially, I attended the one-day as a referral from Investing Club for Women (of which I am a member) so that was my "taste" of what the bootcamp could be, and also a thumbs up from Tim Rhode (who I stumbled upon on this long journey) - but I did find a lot of the information new and unique. It cemented the feeling that was already growing in me that I cannot do this successfully while being in full time employment - it requires a lot of time to do the research correctly. I found it very refreshing to find someone (Bruce) who "walks the walk" and "talks the talk" - a person who not only practices what he teaches, but does so ethically and legally. THAT is refreshing. And I greatly appreciated finding in Bruce someone who makes himself so available to individual questions - I learned a lot in the back of the bus! Would I recommend Bruce? Absolutely!! Wholeheartedly and without reservation." - J. Jensen
"Your in the field training was awesome. I have eliminated everything else from other "gurus" and am starting my investing career following your guidelines. I'm sure that over time I will make adjustments to fit my needs and my style. However, unlike anything else I have seen, I left your bootcamp armed with the tools to start with confidence. Talking with other investors that learned from you and seeing there success coupled with the fact that they come back to you for more says a great deal. I would recommend you guys to anyone. " - E. Statler
" The Norris Group is the only company I'd recommend for investment training. You guys truly provide the the total package for an investor of any level of experience." - L. Landis
" I've never seen another investor/speaker tailor their investment strategy to the market cycle. As the market changes, the strategy shifts with it. The information presented was fluid and precise, yet still written so the novice investor can implement the strategies. Excellent work! As a broker, I already had a strong background in real estate. However, after the bootcamp, I was amazingly surprised that it's not the 'textbook' real estate information that's important. Understanding the investment strategies, knowing when to apply them and learning how to adapt to the changing marketplace is the true wealth of this program. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is serious about making money consistently with real estate." - S. Hazen
" I came to the REO Bootcamp with high expectations after my wife raved about Bruce Norris and the Norris Group. You didn't let me down! What most impressed me was how current the information was. Even the copies of articles and stats handed out were from the day before the Bootcamp began! Now that's current. I am excited to bring this new knowledge into our business in Northern California. Everything from how to best use the MLS to find the best deals, to appraising a property, to working with REO brokers, to how to making a strong offer, to how to fund a deal, to how to rehab a property, to how to sell a property, to how to make the most of technology and the Web were covered clearly and with strong support and documentation. I already have and will continue to recommend The Norris Group programs to other real estate professionals and I'm excited to keep learning and growing with you in the future. Thank you! " - R. Fettke
" I liked being in the presence of and educator, Bruce Norris who is truly qualified to be teaching this material. I estimate the boot camp will probable save me years of time and thousands of dollars in mistakes. The staff was professional and friendly. We all had a lot of fun. You guys are a class act….I intent to get every bit of training I can from the Norris Group." - Michael Rymer
" It was refreshing to learn true, non-bias market trends from someone that is practicing what he preaches. It gave me the confidence to position myself correctly to take advantage of the upcomming opportunities." - Anon
"Bruce's optimism in the recovery of the market made me want to put my fears aside and get back into buying investment property. Armed with his tools I feel much more confident that it can be very profitable. I would recommend this boot-camp to other investors. In fact, I took it because other investors that have already taken it, highly recommend it." - F. Gallardo
" Bruce is the real thing. No hip lots of data and facts. No spin just a realistic understanding of the market and the direction it is headed. I feel like there is a genuine consern for the student. And no pressure to buy something but an open learning atomsphere. Just tons of real meaningfull information. Great training! I feel like I can't help but be succesful as I implement what I'v learned. " - S. Beyler
" I am an experienced developer, general contractor and real estate broker. This bootcamp brought me a completely fresh perspective however, both on economic forecasting and specfically on REO business." - T. Henderson
"I really enjoyed the bootcamp & i learned a whole lot. - the appraisals part by Rick was so enlightening. - having a REO agent there was great info too. - the bus transportation was fun. - his staff is totally awesome. they're so nice & very helpful. you can totally feel that they are a team that likes to work with each other. - since i am new, i think this course really prevented me from making big mistakes (hopefully). - i think bruce is the real deal who earns respect from his integrity, honesty, and his thirst for knowledge and getting to the truth of things. he wants to know & learn for himself. i, like most people, appreciate that he is more of an educator than a salesman or marketer, which unfortunately is rare in this industry. - yes i would definitely recommend this course to other real estate professionals. my suggestions: bruce should have his own blog, where he can easily updates brief messages about what he thinks about the market, his recent experiences, his errors, his predictions, etc. it would be great marketing but it would mostly satisfy all of his clients out there that want to hear from bruce more regularly than the quarterly newsletter (which is still good). thank you so much. i look forward to future seminars. the bootcamp was put together very well." - Newbie Investor
"The experience was great. With the max class size of 14 people my questions were answered with detailed explanations while in that phase of the lesson not 2 hours later and after waiting through 20 other people that typically bombard the trainers at other "mass cattle call" type events. What surprised me most is how accesable and truly interested this organization is in supporting all their students in being as well prepaired as possible for succeeding in this volatile real estate market. It has taught me specifically what it takes to get offers accepted by these troubled lenders. Thank you for the opportunity to learn." - Warren
