Check out what we have coming to Davie on May 26th in the Events section. 

There has been much controversy on Bigger Pockets concerning Renatus and its unique business model. This is a chance to really find out for yourself, unfiltered, so you can see for yourself and determine the value. Don't let heresay from anyone determine your future...make those determinations yourself. Control your own future. You can meet us personally and actually see what we do and how we do it. I highly recommend this program. It is the best concept in real estate that I've seen in my 45+ year career in real estate, and I firmly believe that every licensed agent in the country should be a Renatus affiliate, particularly now when the powers-that-be and technology seem to be trying to get rid of agents. PROTECT YOURSELVES! Understand that with adversity comes opportunity, and this gives you a chance to use the new technology to your advantage. But this is not limited to agents. In fact, most of our community members are NOT agents. They are people who are hungry to learn about real estate and how money works. This is MUCH more than just real estate. Come and see what that's all about.

You will need to register for the event. Contact me for details at [email protected]

I would simply suggest that anyone who might be interested in learning real estate investing attend a local meeting and see for yourself. Don't let other people determine your future. Most people can't do this by themselves. They need a support system and Renatus may be that support for them. Or not.  Take a couple hours and find out. It's free.

There is a huge difference between a Guru and a community of like-minded individuals with varied levels of success (or no success at all...yet) for support. We have a 19 y/o who just got his third deal in 6 months and had never done real estate before. He just realized where wealth is created in this country and wanted some of it. Our training group has done over $2M in deals since August. Support makes all the difference for some people (fear is the great inhibitor). So does the competition (if he/she can do it, I can too!). Does it work for everyone? Hell no, but it does for those who really want it. Different strokes for different folks. 

IMO you need education and a support system. Real, hands-on education and support. This is a tough business if you know what you're doing, let alone to try by trial and error. Find SOMEONE to work with who knows what they are doing. Good luck.

I would encourage you to find a group of like-minded individuals and hang with them. A support system is a must. Entrepreneurship is the coming thing, by necessity. Jobs are disappearing and self-sufficiency is a must. We are transitioning from the Industrial Age employee business model to the Information Age entrepreneur, which has its own skill-set requirements that just aren't taught in school. It's up to you.

Surely you aren't saying that education is bad. The reality is, like in everything, there is good and there is bad. But someone who goes into real estate without knowledge is cruising for disappointment if not disaster. The truth is that the vast majority of people just can't (or won't) pull the trigger if they are on their own. They need a support system and much encouragement and help. The trick is finding the right kind. It's out there, but you need to look for it.

Affiliate with a national company that teaches real estate from the ground up with a local support system. This is the best concept in real estate that I have seen in my 45-year career. Commissions are 50% of cost upon qualification. Earn while you learn. Our current training class has done $2.1 Million in real estate deals and is just half completed. If you want a start in real estate, this is it. If you have knowledge to pass on, this is where to get paid to do it. If you are looking for other real estate pros, this is where to find them. 

We are in a new economic era, the Information Age. This opportunity did not exist for most people even 5 years ago. Take a look and see what YOU think. For info email me at [email protected] and please include a resume and where you want to be in 5 years.

There are a number of programs out there and they range from no cost to 6-figures (believe it or not). Here's my 2 cents. You can jump off the dock and try investing with money but no knowledge or experience, but that's a real good way to get hurt. You probably wouldn't do that with anything else.

We're in a new economy and many of the old rules no longer apply. College, for instance unless you're in a very specialized area. I'm involved in a company that I believe is the business/education model of the future. I call it specialized vocational education. It is laser-focused on real estate, has practitioner-instructors who actually do what they teach every day, has local support-system communities all over the country, has both local and online daily trainings and a software system that is second to none and includes such things as non-occupied owner properties, out-of-state owners, probate, private lenders and much more. 

I've found over my 45-year real estate career that most people can't overcome their fear in order to get started. A local support system makes all the difference for people like that. The choice often becomes invest in yourself to get started or just think about it and never take the plunge. If people are still ponying up big bucks for a college education today, this is a MUCH better alternative, IMO. The equivalent of a Master's degree in real estate for a fraction of the cost of a college degree. Makes sense to me.
