Has Anyone Used Austin Davis’s Program? Here’s My Experience.

Last year I was introduced to Austin Davis. I was introduce to him through another real estate teacher. The real estate teacher whose program I learned about apartment investing in referred me to Austins program. First, unlike the program I had already bought on apartment investing this program was just for funding. If you are a new investor you may want to start with a overview program or book on apartment investing. The one I started with was by Monica Main and I got it for less than $100 online. Since Austin was offering a 60 day money back guarantee I decided to give it a try.

His website was to the point and easy to understand and get a feel for his program. Once I ordered I was able to download the program right away. The cost for me was $1025 with tax and 60 days to try it out. Now that Austin has become so famous you can get his program for 50% off fairly easy. He was up front about wanting to find students to bring him deals and does encourage students to send him deals in his property scout program. You are not required to send him deals for his property scout program though. I was set on buying my own apartment and wanted no partners.

After I read through his program I sent his staff a email for help. They helped me on how to submit a deal using the forms to get help on it. I got a year of support included for free when I bought his program which was really nice. I just include my name and email and date I ordered to get the free support. I did work on 5 deals with sellers and Austins team before we finally found one I could get with no money down. I was able to buy with nothing down thanks to his investor fund. I have never been able to qualify for a grant of any kind as I am not in any special group or class so getting the down payment fund to help me was a major bonus.

It took me months to get my first deal but I got it with nothing down. Austin’s team also showed me how to get prefunding money for the up front costs. I got a seller credit at closing to cover my closing costs and got cash to pay the up front costs back too. I just wish I could get cash back at closing from my first deal, but I did not know how to do it then. I later learned how to get cash back on a deal with the down payment investor fund.

My free 12 months of support has since expired. His mastermind group is $99 a month and great for continued support. I am not working on my next apartment with his staff.

Over the past 10 years I have tried so many other real estate programs I didn’t think anything new was out there – until I discovered commercial real estate. I spent well over $10,000 in programs, seminars, bootcamps, mentoring, etc.

What has set Austin’s program and his team apart from the other programs is the support. Austin now I see in his emails offers his program for a lot less than I paid. Austin offers the 60 day guarantee now on his program too. I always pay for a program using my credit card for protection. What I love about being able to buy with a credit card is I also got the protection of my credit card. If a merchant does not refund my money when they offer a refund guarantee I can always dispute it with my credit card to get the money back. Austin also went the extra mile to have his program billing handled by a independent third party called Clickbank. Very few merchants anymore will go to such lengths to protect customer billing information. Clickbank is the biggest and most respected and secure internet billing service provider I know about, but few real estate gurus will use them because they actually refund your money if you ask for it back. What I do know is that Clickbank is high on security and has a iron clad refund policy all merchants have to follow. Just google clickbank to read about the awards for security they have in place.

I would like to take the time to thank Austin in my review for all his help. When I searched for reviews on his program there were few of them. I have noticed a lot of people asking for reviews so I wanted to share this.

There are many scams online today. Always look for a program with a money back guarantee. You also want to pay with a credit card or paypal. Look for a 3rd party billing servicer such as clickbank or authorize.net or something like that to protect your billing infomation. Clickbank is I think the biggest.

For real estate you need someone with support. This is big. You have to have a good support team there to help you on your deal. The price of a program does not equal its worth – most of the big ticket ones Ive tried were junk. In fact I think many times the programs costing $5,000 or $10,000 are just hype. Think about it. If an investor is profiting from deals why do they want to charge $5,000 or more? Heck, why even charge $1,000? Im guessing thats why he dropped the price so much. It just makes since more people will be able to buy your program if it costs less. I wish it was free. I know teachers have to charge something to help people with support, but I feel like most do over charge for it.

I found reviews with negative and positive things to say about Austin and his program. How do you know if it works? Other than to buy it and try it I don’t know. Just use your credit or debit card and keep a copy printed of the website guarantee for your records. If you have any problem with his program or it does not work for you ask for a refund. I got help on my order from clickbank too. You can use the link in the email they send you. If you are skeptical – you have the printed copy of the guarantee and can call your credit card company and they will refund it. Try it and see for yourself – nothing works like seeing something work first hand.

I do wish I found a good review when I was looking a year ago when I was doing my research on Austin. I only wish someone would have pointed me in the right direction before I spent over $10,000 with other gurus. Being able to finally live the life with freedom I have worked so hard for in the last 12 years has been such a blessing. I have time to spend with my kids. I have time to travel now. That to me is priceless. I wish you well in your investing and your dreams.
