Resetting the focus back to your original question, Deano...the most important thing about an elevator speech is that it is genuine to you.

My girlfriend of a few years has always wanted us to do some type of business together but always thought real estate investing was too risky cause everyone is flipping cause of TV shows (i agree with her on that aspect) and the market is saturated, so I've been doing my research and planning without her.Over the past month she has come around more, asking questions and I finally got her to read Gary Kellers "The Millionaire Real Estate Investor" and it seems as if she has caught the bug as well bombarding me with questions and scenarios and seems to genuinely share the enthusiasm and interest to learn I have had for months.At this point we are hoping to purchase our first rental sometime before the spring, just wanted to share my mini success story with you guys and gals.

All I ask is that I'm treated with respect and can work with someone who is genuine and interested in seeing others succeed alongside them.

I also think that having good experience gives you genuine confidence. 

Luckily, she has a genuine interest in the real estate rehab world and is excited to learn!

Looks like you've got a very active and genuine community going on here!

Wow, this is something I never personally heard of before.I genuinely feel smarter having read @Mr Davido comments.

And when a genuine deal comes you way you know it and are able to act quickly.

I don't have to work either for the same reason as you, John, but I genuinely enjoy the work.

Shaun was a guest speaker at my local REIA and he seems to be a genuinely nice man.
