Monica Main "The Real Estate Investor" An In Depth Look
Who is Monica Main? If you are searching to find out about her then you most likely have ran across one of her commercial property programs. So far she has published ones on:
1) How to buy commercial real estate
2) How to buy apartment complexes
3) How to make money in Commercial RE Short Sales
4) How to become a bird dog (get finders fees)
5) Monica's Wealth Attraction Mindset Program
When I found her program on how to buy apartment buildings it was very appealing to me. My interest in apartment buildings for a passive income has replaced any interest I once had in residential property. So my interest in knowing who she is came about from wanting to know if her program actually works. While a lot of the year's of content I had once on this lens has now been lost because of spammers and hackers that caused my lens to get locked and I was only able to salvage part of it, I have had to rebuild most of this lens.
This page started as a review for her apartment program, but expanded to cover all her programs.
Here's what I can do sum up all of her programs and what I have learned over years of following her and hundreds of emails and comments from readers over several years.
She is a great marketer. She is one hell of a non stop and determined woman to grow her business and investments. She has risen as one of the most know gurus (though she would not likely refer to herself as a guru) and a authority for the intro and medium range investor in commercial property, but not without concerns and people who have felt and maybe even really not treated right. She was into stocks or options training or something of that nature years ago, and got in trouble with the SEC and may or may not have been given a prison sentence from it. She does not do anything with stocks or options as far as I can tell now or train or teach about them. What ever happened with all of that, it now seems to be in the past and she is not into that market. The question I wanted to know when I heard about that, was did she change and or learn from it?
I have not heard any crazy stories in several months of people who were very upset and or who felt they got a bad deal from Monica. She has shifted into doing boot camps and seminars and conferences as her main focus it appears from what I have gathered. Her products on click bank all come with a 60 day money back guarantee and are pretty good. She was at one time sued by David Lindahl for allegedly copying his program, but the case was dismissed being as it was not filed correctly I believe and that has been some time now. The back lash and negative PR it gave David and that Monica dished out to him for it was rather extensive and what ever the case on that, it doesn't seem to be a issue any more.
Her mentor and training classes for $200-$1500 online and or by phone have got several complaints from people who didn't think it was worth it and there was no refund for them. However, her online products sold through click bank do come with a 60 day guarantee and were very helpful to me.

- Just read you were hacked sorry to hear about that. I don't know what else I know to add that would be of any help, but I bought her program and I thought it was helpful. I have not gone to her seminars or done any mentoring though as it was a lot more and it is hard for me to get time off from work.

be removed from the mailing list. Can anyone tell me how to get this organization to
stop sending me emails?

I've bought Monica's real estate programs (I think almost every one she has ever
made) and followed her for a few years now. When she first got into real estate
teaching it was uncertain if she was any good or if she was legit I thought. She used
to be into investing and flopped in that with stocks or trading on the stock market.
So I was skeptical if her real estate stuff was going to be legit or not. I have
found her stuff very helpful and it helped me get started in apartment buildings. Her
online mentoring and teaching groups and classes have always had a cloud over them
and seemed high priced with little value and a lot of people have expressed strong
disapproval on them. However, her in person seminars have got a lot of good reviews
and I have yet to meet anyone who was not happy with those. They cost more and are
not one on one, but the online mentoring classes while advertised as such are not
what most people expect and as such I think you'd be better of going to her in person
seminars. Her online products are cheap at all under $100 and come with a 60 day
money back guarantee which is the best value she offers I think.

WE LOOK FOR PROPERTY AND DEALS WITH EQUITY. WE PARTNER WITH AUSTIN DAVIS STUDENTS
NOW AND WANT TO PARTNER WITH OTHER STUDENTS TOO. WE HAVE $790,000 AND WANT TO
PARTNER. HOW WE DO THIS WITH MONICA MAIN STUDENTS?
Shawn Apr 7, 2011 @ 5:54 pm
I have been following commercial real estate guru's for years now and while i
don't think everything they offer and do is nearly as easy as they say and a lot of
their high priced mentoring, bootcamps and seminars are more hype than real stuff
that is going to help you, Monica sure has risen to the top as one of the top gurus.
David Lindahl used to be I think the top dog, but Monica has been the underdog who
has been going up against him for a while now and I think she is likely to trump him
at the top dog in commercial real estate. I read the lawsuit he filed against her to
try and shut her down, and how it got thrown out, and made him look bad trying to
shut her down and seems like more and more people know who she is now. The thing I
wish that she would do is setup a members forum so all of us students could network.
That would be really helpful.

My wife bought her program a few years ago and it did help us get started. We
couldnt get anything funded from her list of funding sources though and they all
wanted thousands of dollars up front (which we didnt have). I cant say they wouldnt
work, but we just didnt have that kind of money for our first deal. We did also try
Austin Davis's program and while it did not have the training on the basics like
monicas program had, it did help us with setting up and reviewing our deals and we
learned how to find sellers and get them to give us terms and how to get around the
objections and questions sellers and brokers had. getting a contract signed was
harder than we thought it would be. once we learned some tricks to get rid of the
questions they asked we had a lot better success. also austins team paired us with a
partner to bring the cash to close on the deal. we tried monicas partner program too
and send many deals to her, but every time it was something that seemed rather stupid
as to why the deal was rejected. and she kept asking for more stuff. im really not
sure if she has any investors at all, or if they ran out of money or if they are just
taking the deals we send to them and making offers and monica told us there was
something wrong. what ever the reason we had no success with it. That or maybe her
investors have so many deals they just cant take them all. Her program does cover the
basics though and is worth getting for that alone. I wouldnt partner with her to take
her mentoring classes again though as my wife wasnt impressed.
lee Feb 23, 2011 @ 1:26 am
i have her program and agree with what you said. i will have to check out austins
program as that sounds like what i could use as well. do you know any others?
past mentoring student (i dont want to give my name and get yelled at) Feb 8, 2011 @
4:57 pm
stay away from working with her as the mentoring and classes and online teaching
stuff if a waste of time!! i did this and never got hard any answers back from her
and the online chats were a waste of time. i did like her program and it was very
informational but i guess that is what is used to bait you to want more and fork out
$500 or more just to chat with her only she took forever to reply and the reply was
not anyhelp. and low and behold only her program has the refund guarantee. her
mentoring and online teaching has no money back guarantee!!! so even if you think it
sucks and get nothing from it, tough luck. i did keep her program as i liked it and
im more than willing to pay when there is good content and it was good. but the
mentoring was no help.
terry Feb 8, 2011 @ 11:01 pm
i have not done her mentoring but bought her program and liked it. i got my first
deal done with austin davis and his staffs help from his program. its not training so
much on looking at deals and what to look for and things to watch out for though. its
on how to write the terms and get your seller to agree to them to then get it funded.
they also will help you find a partner. i was able to partner with another student
who paid for the money to close on my deal. i had to read up a lot on what to look
for during due diligence though as austin davis does not cover the basics like that
but just how to get the deal closed and get the funding to do it. if that is what you
want to get help with on you can get that with his training. if you are wanting
mentoring to learn the basics you can get books about them on amazon or a local book
store for 20 or so.
alberto Jan 8, 2011 @ 3:44 pm
thank you for making this page and all the research. i just finished reading all
the things people have said here and commented on and wow was there a lot of them. i
have been getting monicas advertising things now for over a year and have read this
page before and really thought about buying her program. i am however a very
skeptical person and always am afraid of getting ripped off or losing money but today
when i was looking at the documents on monicas problems with the commodities and
stocks thing and the prision thing i got to thinking.. that was in 2001 and here it
is 9 years later or well 10 now i guess and she hasnt got in trouble since then and i
googled trying to find out more about her and there is nothing but all her real
estate stuff. there are some people who seem to hate her and had bad experiences but
there is a lot of people who are really happy with it and like it. and i got to
thinking here i am for years busting my butt trying to make ends meet and here is a
lady who went to prison and got sued by the government and lost it all from a bk and
yet she is up and going and teaching and doing real estate and i thought to myself
why in the world can someone who lost it alll and got so set back able to come back
and here i who have never got in trouble and have squat. so i deciced im going to get
her program and study it cause its been around for a long time now and look at all
these people buying it and making money. looks like her mentoring programs are not a
good deal but her program has the money back guarantee and heck if it is crap i just
get my money back.. but gosh here i have wasted a year or more worrying and
wondering.. why didnt i just try it and then it it was bad get a refund. so here it
is a new year and my 2011 goal is to get my first property! i can do it.. that is my
goal this year. well this is just my ramblings but thank you for this page as it
really encouaged me to go for my dreams.
