The Commercial course is going to be great, and I`m looking forward to having everyone there.
Thomas my friend, thanks for your kind words - and I agree, as with all investments, there are positives and negatives, pros and cons. We`ll be discussing all of them during the 3 day event. I teach that there IS no perfect investment strategy. Having a variety of asset classes in your portfolio is sound diversification, and I think commercial offers some unique benefits that cannot be achieved in other investments.
The key one is passing ALL operating expenses to the tenants, who happily pay them. That is a VERY powerful advantage you simply CANNOT do in residential at any level. There are lots of other advantages as well. As for financing, that`s a challenge on ALL real estate right now. That`s why I am so focused on Seller Financing, and it`s more common in Commecial than residential. We`ll be doing a separate session on seller financing, and you`ll hear EXACTLY what I say to sellers when trying to negotiate seller financing. I`ve negotiated over $15,000,000 of seller financing in the past few years in the process of building a portfolio of approximately $100,000,000 in property, and I`ll be sharing EXACTLY how I did it.
The course is SOLD OUT at this point. We`re checking with a few of my VIP students to ensure that they are going to attend, and we`re trying to get a few extra seats for people. It`s going to be a packed room and I can`t wait. I`ve been thinking of doing a commercial program for a few years and this will be the ONLY one I do this year.
So for those of you signed up, you`re in for a fun and VERY content-filled event.
If you DO still want to sign up, contact my office or fax in the registration form -- MAKE SURE you put "REIN Member" on it, or you`ll be charged the regular `public` rate (which is $3,997). The REIN rate is only $1,997. For anyone that questions the value, my 5 day residential program is $7,497US - so I would agree with Thomas that less than $2K for 3 days is a great deal.
If you don`t have the form, contact my office and speak to Laura. (
[email protected]).
IF any spots open up, we will honour the REIN price of $1,997 for those people who took action and submitted the form.... but I can`t guarantee anything because we`re at capacity now.
So thank you everyone for your support, and I look forward to blowing you all away at this program!
Regards,
Greg
Greg,
I thoroughly enjoyed your BC REIN presentation when you were in Vancouver and was hoping to attend your 3-day program in Calgary. Unfortunately, I`m not able to be there and was wondering if you will be holding another Commercial course any time soon (preferably in Vancouver). If not, will you have a CD version of the course available for REIN Members?
Cheers, Norm...
