I also came to a realization of that very thing that Paul said. He hit it on the nail! I honestly haven’t listened to many of podcasts recently but something drew me to this one and I ended up listening to it multiple times because everything Paul said was so simple and profound. Best one yet BP!

Hi Devonte, I’m in downtown Indy. I relocated here from Honolulu a few months ago but have been investing (buy and hold) in Indy for a few years. I love to learn about real estate investing and over financial strategies, I believe the only way to mitigate fear and uncertainty and move you to action is knowledge. So surround yourself with those in the game and you will rise up alongside them. Reach out if you are around downtown and we can connect.

People barely leave reviews of positive experiences, so I’m going to. For me, time is money...I know very well that information is out there and can be obtained for free but that involves my time in searching and weeding out the BS and actual strategies that can be applied in my own capacity. It all boils down to what you find to be valuable and choice. Renatus offers dual opportunities, you can do the marketing or get education or both…both can help you generate income. If it is your cup of tea, I find direct/relationship marketing of Renatus or rather any of these companies to be absolutely legit...professionals have been benefiting monetarily selling a product or service or getting others started in their same profession since the beginning of the free world…what is so wrong with building a team of like minded individuals with similar goals? When you empower people and surround them with other empowered people with a passion that they feel aligned with, they get themselves in gear and motivated…whereas when you are at a job, employees do the absolute minimum to not get fired and their bosses are doing the same thing. The CEO or the execs are at the ones making the big $, that looks like a pyramid to me. Where’s the optimization of productivity in that system? It's a business in the end where an exchange of value it present. As long as you find there is value in whatever business, join, if not...don't hate. As for the education, I like that the courses are taught by those who have been in the industry for a long time who have made mistakes who live to share what not to do or can show you a straighter path. I have been on BP for many years and I have gained a lot of good info but that's not without hours of reading through random comments that really is a waste of time. What I also like is that the courses are dynamic, so it changes with the times...trends, laws, tax code, new strategies...unlike my undergrad and graduate education that I gained over 10 years ago and tens of thousands of dollars...international business has changed so much, but I'm not getting the updated changes now am I? It seems the ones who get in for making a quick buck are the ones who complain about not making money or getting their bang for their buck or worse yet, they blame the education or system for their lack. You go to school or get a degree, what you do with the degree is entirely up to you. I'm not saying I'm putting all of my education to immediate use because I know I can be more successful. All I’m saying is, use your own judgment, do your own due diligence, do fair and balanced research, steer clear of naysayers because they eventually will instill more fear in an already big step to invest in yourself and if you let other people's opinions influence you, you can just stay in that same spot and be in the same situation, so be the strong committed person and move, do something.

Hi Victoria, BP is a great community. I am very new to REI, but like you, I am also constantly getting educated and feel that it is so important, especially to minimize risk. I live in honolulu so my backyard is not good for newbie investors so I did my research for about a year and started buying turnkey properties in Indianapolis. I have aligned myself with a good team there and loving the monthly cash flow.

Max, thanks for your willing attitude but schedule will be tight after reviewing our itinerary for our trip. I may be back in the summer so will plan for that. Have a wonderful holiday and happy investing in 2017!

Thank you for the feedback. I have a few one on one meetings set up so far. i will reach out to the others to see if we can plan something. 

HI @Robert Laird....would you consider organizing a meet up before the holidays? I really want to learn about this market and will be in town for a number of days before heading to Bend/Sunriver for Christmas. Any day from 12/18-12/21 would be awesome. Only if its worth your time and you feel others will come out.  

Hi Shantese, Before coming face to face with any potential lender, you should have a story to share. It doesn't have to be your own story if you have not done deals yet, but to instill in the receiver the confidence in what you are doing. You need to bring VALUE to them...but before bringing what YOU think is value, you need to find out what VALUE means to them. In your example, ask your friend why he is so adverse to doing anything in real estate. Sympathize with what they've experienced and ask what if it was done a different way. You should compile sample deals to present and the kinds of ROI the private lender can expect. Don't even mention "real estate" when you at the first stage of finding out what motivates them. After you find out their "why", that's when you have earned the right to propose that real estate can be the vehicle to help them achieve their why.

Jon Gom email me, I am going to a cash flow game in Kunia this Thursday night. Contact me and I can get you the details.

What do turnkey props you provide go for in NC?
