Hi Donna, I'm seriously thinking about taking this program with my girlfriend!
I'm a new REIN member, no real investment experience yet, just a lot of books read. She is even more of a newbie, afraid all the terms would go over her head. How accessible will it be for her? But we're excited about taking this and partnering up to hunt for deals and begin building our portfolio on short term creative strategies and funnel them to long term buy and hold.
Rod, as Sherilynn said, these are advanced strategies and can be a bit overwhelming.
We had a brand new investor attend the Toronto Focus Workshop, and he was struggling the first afternoon. But here's what he had to say afterwards:
Swim by “Getting in the Pool”
I attended the Toronto Rapid Cash Program seminar in February 2015. I wanted to learn about real estate but was completely new to investing. When the event started I quickly realized that I had jumped into the deep end of the pool and I wasn’t sure that I could swim. The terms that were being used were slightly over my head. I voiced my concerns and that’s when I met Donna McGuire an integral part of the TCP coaching team.
What can I say? Donna was simply awesome. She listened to me. She not only heard my concerns, but she understood them. How many times have you heard someone tell you, “I’m sorry you feel that way,” but they don’t really offer any true help? Not with Donna. There was no “take it or leave it”, with Donna. She offered multiple, REAL, solutions for
me. They were tailored to
my situation. Not only that, but Donna made it clear that she was going to do whatever it took to help me decide what was best for me. It wasn’t about getting money out of me. She genuinely wanted me to succeed in real estate investing. I was given the option to get my money back if I wanted to. There were truly no strings attached. Donna gave me her personal cell phone number and asked me to decide what I wanted to do.
With all the options Donna gave me that first afternoon, I went home and discussed it with my spouse. I made one of the best decisions of my life. I decided to continue in the seminar and take a journey outside of my comfort zone. I texted Donna and she replied, “However you approach, Barry and I are there for you.” And it was true. From the moment I walked in on Saturday, I could feel the support. Real, caring and sincere support. They remembered my concerns and made a real effort to connect with me and make sure I understood that they were there for me. I could ask them anything, anytime. All of the people at the seminar were very friendly. I was able to network with a group of people that will help me to go from thinking about investing to fulfilling my goals.
I have learned so much from this event. This program was about doing! We were given the theory behind each strategy and then encouraged to try it out. The coaches were always standing by with helpful advice and insightful answers to the most challenging questions. I now have a new tool box of strategies to take real estate investing to the next level.
I know that now that we are ready to make the RCP an active part of our strategy, Donna, Barry and the team will be there for us. These people are here to make it work for everyone. I truly believe that. I am really glad that I jumped into the deep end because I realized that a flotation device was there all along. I just needed to ask for it. Whether you are already a sophisticated investor or a complete newbie like me, this program is for you. I am thrilled to continue my real estate investment journey for the next six months with my personal team of coaches standing by!
