The Weekend Seminar
It starts at a hotel ballroom — free admission, a charismatic speaker, stories of ordinary people who became financially free through real estate. The event ends with a pitch for a $997 “starter program.” The starter program ends with a pitch for a $15,000 “advanced coaching” package. The advanced coaching ends with a pitch for a $35,000 “elite mentorship.”
Landline Property Group ran this funnel in 34 cities between 2020 and 2025. GripeNation spoke with 22 former students. Not one reported making money using Landline’s strategies. Seventeen said they lost money — in some cases, significant amounts borrowed specifically to pay for the program.
The Mentors
Landline’s marketing materials feature coaches with impressive-sounding titles: “8-Figure Investor,” “Portfolio Builder,” “Acquisition Specialist.” GripeNation attempted to verify the real estate portfolios and track records claimed by seven Landline coaches.
In five cases, public property records in the states where the coaches claimed to operate showed no real estate holdings in their names or the entity names referenced in their bios. Two coaches had holdings, but far smaller than claimed in marketing materials.
One “8-Figure Investor” had three properties, all purchased after joining Landline as a coach.
What Students Actually Got
The $35,000 “elite” program included: access to a private Facebook group, bi-weekly group video calls with coaches, a library of recorded webinars, and 12 months of “deal review support” via an online ticket system.
Students describe response times of days or weeks on submitted deals, generic feedback that did not address their specific market, and coaches who were unavailable outside scheduled group calls.
“I submitted 14 deals for review over six months,” said one student in Ohio who paid $22,000. “Every response was basically: ‘Good analysis, keep looking.’ Nothing actionable. Nothing specific. Nothing that required them to know anything about my situation.”
The Refund Policy
Landline’s contract includes a clause stating that refunds are not available after the student has accessed “any portion of the program content” — which begins with a welcome video viewable immediately upon enrollment.
A class-action lawsuit was filed in federal court in February 2026 on behalf of 340 former students.
