I must say I was very skeptical of Renatus myself after attending their meetings. I was even more skeptical of the Than Merril program though, which they seemed to be modeled off of. I have been wholesaling for two months now in the Los Angeles area though, and the first deal that I’m about to put to bed was done in partnership with my buddy from Renatus that introduced me to them in the first place. We both did real estate school at Tulane University in New Orleans, so I trust his judgement. He says their system has worked wonders for him. I’m thinking of giving them a second shot after this. However, I talked to an accountant friend of mine and he told me to be wary of the heavy debt based model that they promote that’s based on the use of HELOC’s to build your wealth. He referred to it as a house of cards that could fall at any moment. I think that as long as you separate the wheat from the shaft so to speak when you enter their program (meaning utilize the network and the good advice and discard the bad) you can make a positive experience out of it. I just may give them a try.

@Mark Pedroza thanks a lot! I’m one month into this process and learning a lot! It’s looking like I may close my first deal today! Thanks for the assistance!!

@Geoff Antone there are several. My suggestion to you is to download the app called “Meetup” and join the groups that they have posted there. Here is a link to one of them: Check out Out-of-State Multifamily Apartment Investors Meetup http://meetu.ps/c/3FHGb/zPHmT/a

Thanks a lot for the advice Ned! That is super helpful! I am actually preparing a spread sheet and I have a few items on it that you listed there but not all. These are hugely helpful! How important would you say are actual pictures of the property? Is it important to have those printed out and ready to present? I don't want to be too clumsy fumbling with my phone trying to show them each one.

Help!! I have a meeting with investors tomorrow and I am trying to find creative ways to present the properties to them that I am presenting. Does any one have any sample templates of presentations that you have done before for prospective buyers?? What kind of information is important to make sure you include or don't miss in your presentation? Any assistance is greatly appreciated!!

@Laura Kayes thank you so much!! This was hugely helpful and useful to me today!

@Brian Ploszay thank you, that is super helpful. What sort of management fee do you pay? What is considered high and what’s considered low?

@KJ L. Yes I have been to several and they are great. I’m just in a position now where I am targeting investors and need meet ups that focus on wholesaling and investor meet ups as much as possibe for the time being. But yes, I do love the local BP meeting group!

Hey guys, I’m meeting with a potential out of state property manager today. What are seine questions that you think I should ask him?

@Paul Juell Thank you for this post I am going to follow it. In HaveHave been running into this a lot myself. I hear that people feel there ethics laws that realtors should be abiding by, but if you are not acting as a realtor in a given situation I don’t understand what the problem is
