Have a great day and the Happiest, Healthier, Prosperous New Year to you all!!!!!!!

However, it was Brad and his ecosystem of deal sponsors and passive investors in the group that I immediately had a connection to. 

There was over 400 people in the room, which I had the incredible opportunity to network with.These people were high-caliber individuals that can help a person (especially a “newbie”) potentially get deals done.Not to mention all the resources available in the room such as: SEC attorneysA title company An insurance agent Real estate brokers A mortgage brokerI’m sure I forgot to mention someone… lol Basically Brad offers an ecosystem that anyone can plug into and leverage if they choose to.It wasn't your typical real estate investing seminar at all.There was great content, food, coffee, etc and Brad's team was highly professional and awesome as well.We went out on a bus tour and actually went into the market to see apartment buildings and discuss actual case studies with the buyers and sellers of these deals.How cool is that?

His control of this ecosystem of students and investors is invaluable to a new investor.In less than six months being a member, I've had the opportunity to invest in many deals, and have chosen to invest in 5 different deals in 4 different states, buying 8 apartment complexes totaling 1091 units.I invested in all of these passively, from my home in St.

The tech research in the top universities here is the best and to recreate this eco-system else where will be hard.

I reckon that a property that grosses $2,550/m, when its mortgage is only $385/m, SHOULD be making a much healthier cash flow than just $75/m!

The experience and knowledge you'll gain from being in that ecosystem will pay more dividends than wages will. 

Typically-and this is not just me saying this but other conscious investors I work with say retrofitting and energy efficient creates healthier and more comfortable homes often leading to more comfortable and happy Dr.

No...it's an entire ecosystem, like my crappy pond.  

I hope to be able to give back and contribute more in this ecosystem of brilliant people once I feel like I’ve got something to contribute!
