My Family and I would like to thank Don, Russell, and the rest of the REIN team for teaching us how important it is to have a `Personal Belize` (ie. Life Plan). We joined REIN in June 2005 after attending the Calgary Quickstart. We then did what Don teaches and slowly bought 18 properties over the following 3 years, followed the REIN systems, and of course made a tonne of mistakes along the way (The mistakes were no fault of Don).
Well, my family and I just finished living out the first part of our Personal Belize. A week ago we returned from a 7 month sailing adventure in which we toured the Caribbean and the Bahamas on a 42ft. catamaran. The trip was not as much about sailing as is was about us as a family slowing down from the hectic pace which was becoming normal to us. I was able to spend every minute with my wife and 4 kids for 7 straight months. We got to know each other at a whole different level!
REIN has taught some very important lessons over the past few years:
1) Set out your goals/dreams and go after them!
2) Ignoring the dream stealers along the way. (Try telling you family and friends that you are taking your family to live on a sailboat in the Caribbean for 7 months and see what they say!)
3) Use real estate investing as a vehicle to your dreams in life, but don`t make real estate investing your life!
We a now back to our busy life again and are now continuing to increase our portfolio slowly until we are able to live the next chapter of our `Personal Belize`
Check out our adventure at OneLifeSailing
Thanks REIN!!!
