Hi Denis, Thank you for sharing your story, you have put into perspective what I try and teach to my mentoring clients AND what I talk about on the REIN stage about stepping into FEAR. I hope more people read your story because so many are in the same boat ... when I tell how I traded fame...

Hey there Landerson, It does give me more of a perspective of where you are coming from (and we'll talk about this on our private call coming up) and I'm glad you are one of the few that choose to ignore the masses and edcuate yourself - most importantly, moving forward. You are absolutely...

Thank you Thomas!!! I can always count on you :) The systems I have in place definitely help Real Estate investors get to where they want to go faster, alleviating all the lipstick and rouge stuff and dig down to what's real. I love the fact that you are very active on this forum trying...

I was struck by inspiration today after speaking with someone I am helping transition from their 9-5 work day, 40 hour week to living her passion and ultimately creating income from it. It all relates to Real Estate investing because let the truth be told that it is very challenging to leave...

Got it Kris, the reason I asked was to GET clarity from you :) - now you know what you are looking for and so do many others which will help bring that into your life. I'm sure you can connect with someone to mutually benefit both parties.

Hi Kris, I'm confused as to what you mean by a mentor benefiting from your passion ... are you LOOKING to hire a mentor/coach to help you along?

Bottom line is, it's better than 0.7% and 2.1% even two years ago. With the control in place, let's be happy it went up THIS much.

Hi Kris, About six years ago I was asking the same questions and I was blessed (or crazy) enough to spend my full days studying and learning my 'trade' as Thomas suggests for about a year in Real Estate. I don't know many who are able or willing to do that without an income and although the...

LOL, now we are getting into an entirely different discussion :) Business sales can be different depending on how it's marketed, positioned and delivered. Value is in the eyes of the purchaser. Many businesses make the mistake of going after the sale and not the customer ... which is...

And thanks again Gary! Appreciate your support with EngagedInvestor.ca also! You got the point I was making, targeting a higher than average tenant with a higher than average property. The Value is perceived by the customer, not you so what YOU may think is value, may not be to the...

Hi Michael, Thank you, I will gladly accept that compliment! I'm very pleased you liked the post and see from your examples you are also creating value in your approach! I also agree that some properties are harder than others, but it doesn't always have to be material, like you have proved...

You are right Thomas, this is where the post was directed. There will always be exceptions to the rule and for the most part I am a firm believer in value. Companies (including landlords / real estate business ) is in a losing battle if they compete only on price. A company like...

Would you agree that most people think buying an investment property and putting a tenant in is how Real Estate investing works? If you are like me, then you know there is a heck of a lot more to it than that. Still, in speaking to investors who have been in the game a lot longer, I find they...

Lillian, I think you have answered your own question. What is wrong with the rabbit? I'm sure it is caged most of the time - we have a rabbit, cats etc and when my son let's it out, the only thing I have seen it do is scratch on the carpet a bit. Any pet can damage your unit, but it...

Yep, all the power to Erwin! He deserves it!

Pretty cool isn't it? I suppose it is for us as well - the rewarding part when a JV tells me a heartfelt thank you and for you when an investor mentions you have made his life so much easier!

This is true Jason - although in my case getting up doing what I loved for twenty years having the freedom to do resulted in other areas of my life to be affected - it's when I took a hard look at what 'freedom' was costing me that the Belize changed and is completely balanced. I too owe my...

You bet Rickson! Thanks again for your input and honesty

Hi Blaire! You do? Ah, looks like there's a big lunch coming my way :) LOL, no worries, my pleasure to help out. With a foundation such as your Mother, it will strengthen your WHY going forward - it looks like you are already on that path anyway! I'm very grateful for having people...

Thank you for the response - I'm glad you liked the post. From what I understand, you seem to have most of your life already hooked up with your Real Estate and that is a great place to be if that is truly what you are living from. Spending time with your wife and doing what you love is...
