I'm Here! Yeah!
Hello All,
I just wanted to introduce myself, as this is my first day here, and I hope that I can help in anyway possible!
Here is a little about myself:
Michael has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in training and education, some of it was in seminars and home-study programs, but most was attending the "School of Hard Knocks" (real life experience;) Michael utilizes his experiences in his training, so that other’s can avoid some of the lessons that he had to learn by “trial and error.â€
Michael is just an “Average Joe,†exactly like you and thousands of others out there. His approach and philosophy to training others is to tell his audience what they need to hear, and Michael doesn't believe in "sugar coating" his training, (which to some might be a little too direct.) Michael believes that when someone asks him a question, they want answers, not to "feel better about themselves," so at times he has been thought of as being too hard and too direct; Michael believes that your time is valuable, so why should he waste it trying to be "nice" when "tough love" would train faster and "sticks" better in your mind. Michael never paints a “pie in the sky†type picture order to sell more training or to cause the audience to become ill-prepared. He’d rather give the audience more experiences, details, pitfalls, etc. in his training so the audience has a good understanding of what they should expect when they attempt the techniques in their business, rather than giving the audience “just enough,†which to Michael means “not enough!â€
Michael started investing in real estate in February of 2000, and his strategy was always "buy and hold" single family houses and duplexes, which ranged from "move-in" condition type houses to total rehabs. Michael has successfully acquired properties by Short Selling, Assuming Mortgages (Subject-to), and conventional methods to name a few techniques he uses everyday. In addition, Michael has helped homeowners salvage their homes from foreclosure, by providing the homeowner's techniques that helped with negotiating with lenders.
Mostly through frustration of attending seminars and going through home study courses, which lacked the content necessary to give Michael a good foundation to work from, Michael decided to create The REI Training Warehouse, LLC [REMOVED]
