Jason Roberts / REI Blueprint

[Jim H.]

I saw a very compelling presentation yesterday by Jason Roberts of REI Blueprint. At the end of his talk at an LA REI association meeting, he offered tickets to his $1997 live event at half off.

I liked him and what he was offering (and being in the coaching space myself, I’m not at all bothered that he was selling something) but I’d never heard of him before, so I wanted to do a bit more digging before signing up.

I am curious if anyone in the BP community  has had experience specifically with him, his courses or coaching program and would mind sharing their thoughts. 

Thanks!!

What exactly is the REI blueprint about? I haven't heard of this person before either and while some paid courses can be good, I too am a skeptic of them often times.

Hi Rene. REI Blueprint is his company and the name of a different product.

What he was offering yesterday was a two day workshop about something new he’s been doing around “shared living”. Things like assisted living, sober living, student housing etc. All basically rent by the room options and many of them offered in partnership with non profits with grants (homeless services etc).

It was a very compelling pitch actually (though admittedly I'm new to REI but not new to coaching). And he seemed like a smart solid guy.

Very interesting! Haven't thought of these options much before except this really great podcast episode about real estate investing for assisted living https://link.chtbl.com/Q8HfyKnU 

Let us know if you decide to do this workshop how it goes and if you found it worthwhile!

Thanks, @Rene Hosman!

I attended this 2-day program in LA in Aug 2024 and it was very disappointing.  I left early thinking it was a huge waste of time.  For $1K, he did almost the exact same presentation with very little added detail over the two days. I think you have to join his coaching program for $22K to get any real value.

[Jim H.]

Oh no! Sorry to hear that, Mark. Thank you for sharing that experience though.

I'm not a big fan of people paying for investing "coaching". Mostly because you can find all that information on forums like this one and others like (Redd*t). On top of that, there are countless people here (including myself) that will gladly knowledge share what we know and not charge a penny. I'm based in Seattle but have scaled my portfolio to 10 doors across mainly Memphis and Detroit. I'm seeing strong cash flow and great appreciation. I'm happy to connect and knowledge share if you are interested.

[Jim H.]

Thanks, @Joseph Bui - I would love to connect and hear more about that. I'm based in CA, and I'm also looking to invest out of state.

I attended a 2 day session for $1000 that was arranged through my local REIA.

A complete waste of time and money. There is absolutely nothing he shared that you can't find online or here on BP.

Don't waste your money. Take a hard pass.
