Welcome to the forum, the best time to get into REI is now, today ... when you are ready. Research is important and you have come to the right place. What I would suggest is that you consider what is important to you when it comes to REI. Because you have little debt and can finance a...

I agree Thomas...I thought because I have been a lifetime entrepreneur, fairly successful (from the streets) that I did not need anyone's help. My world changed when my attitude changed. Every successful person, atheletes etc have coaches (who would Tiger Woods be if it were not for his...

Hi Adam, Just Google him - I follow, study and absorb a lot of information from a lot of great people - Eben is one of the worlds' leading online marketing people. When you are in the world of business, outside of Real Estate, there are so many people to learn from - he is one - Everyone...

Hi Greg, I'm not sure if you are referencing the 'sales pitch' as part of MY business ... as it is certainly not. That said, everyone will have a different perception of each level. For yours on level three, it's cool ... I however see it in a different way - if I give whether it's...

Thomas what I give away for free is education to a degree, the marketing process depends again, on who your target market is. When you GIVE a solution to a problem, usually there is a completely different problem that is underneath. Successful marketing and gaining one's trust and respect is...

Sorry about that Adam, there are many ways of just looking at how we "see" money. Harv Ecker talks a lot about this, Stephen Covey, Peter Drucker etc, but Eben Pagen is where I learned this analogy of the psychology of money.

You are so right - I BELIEVE there is massive value because I have done my research and speak directly to their concerns, but in the end, as you say THEY must be the ones who perceive the value. It just points out that if I trust my marketing and it has spoken to so many others before, then the...

I agree with that Thomas, I suppose I really mean that I BELIEVE I am giving value because I've surveyed many people asking what it is they want and I deliver that in my message - and looking at it from the angle of marketing something now with a future value is a great way of looking at it.

You are very welcome ... at some point you were at level one, it could have been very early, but most people are where you are ... it's great to understand this because it 'allows' you to do more, have a huge 'why' (which was the point of this post in the first place) and also feel great when...

Hi there Alvaro, Your perception of the post and comments are well respected - I deliver massive VALUE to my list, my clients and colleagues - what we can't guarantee is how that VALUE is perceived by others ... as you have mentioned here (that you did not like this post). Remember...

Hi Nir, I don't take it personally at all - did it come across that way?:) I didn't LOSE anyone, they were never my customer in the first place :) What this post is about is waiting for the right customer to contact me ... IF THEN I do something to LOSE them, then yes, I would be...

Every so often I get notice that someone has unsubscribed from my investment newsletter ` the one specifically sent to people whom have said `I`m interested, can you send me more information?` In my experience, when someone asks for information, most Real Estate investors immediately take this...

Exactly , take a quick look at the explantion regarding the levels in my opinion, would you agree with that?

Hi MK, I'm not sure if REIN eluded to these levels of development around money, but it basically comes down to this: Level 1 - is all about Getting (as much as you can, taking whenever and wherever you can) it's all moral, we are not talking about stealing or anything, but basically it's...

Hi everyone, late to the last few posts here .... great thoughts and comments Jim, I suppose your comment was directed to me so I'll answer you first. The idea for helping people figure out their 'why' is a HUGE part of what we do as Real Estate coaches. I've been an active REIN member for...

Good on you Margaret! Thank you for adding some very insightful value to the thought around this thread! You have obviously stepped into the second zone I was talking about and maybe the third one of ultimate value is YOU! So keep up what you are doing with great speed forward.

Thanks guys, Yes Andrei I agree, this can get into a really long discussion because everyone has their own perception, and that is what makes us all unique. Most of the time Greg, people are influenced and react to the circumstances around them, they don't go through life PROACTIVE...

Hi Bart, The best thing to do is a search on JV here on the forum because a lot of this has been answered in great detail ... However, the simple answer is "however you feel comfortable". Often I find many people look for a magic bullet to talk with and attract joint venture partners and...

Such a great video Andrei! The power of staging rentals is such a great way to increase rent and occupancy quicker, thanks for bringing this to REIN member's attention!

TVS has stopped doing Canadian Criminal checks a while ago, I have not checked recently at RentCheck, so you can try there.
