Since I joined REIN I`ve had so many successes. I bought my first property in February of 2006 and as of May 31, 2007, my commonlaw husband (Bruce) and I own 6 investment properties. Two of them are JV`s with other members of our family.
I took a break over the summer and now am ready to get back at investing. I`ve decided that I`m going to pursue finding JV money partners to invest in many more. A couple of weeks ago another REIN member called me up to invite me to a JV brainstorming meeting. After attending this meeting I was inspired to get my JV presentation tweeked so it looked professional and I actually knew what I was doing. I went and bought a 1/2" binder, some heavyweight sheet protectors, and some colored ink (as my printer ran out many moons ago) and proceeded to make my JV presentation. I`ve been spending hours on the REIN sight searching for information for the contents of my presentation. I am so thankful that most information is right there.
Our brainstorming group is meeting again on Oct. 4 so the pressure is on to finish it, and I will because I`ve decided.
I give myself credit for taking the innitiative to join REIN (with my Mom`s persuasion, she`s a member too). If it wasn`t for REIN I would never be investing in real estate. The information that you learn there takes the fear away. I trust Don and what he teaches because it just makes sense!
When I speak to members that haven`t taken their first step in investing at REIN meetings I always ask them, "What is the worst thing that can happen"? Before I took my first step in investing I asked just that question. I was 70K in debt from my business, was divorced, was just diagnosed with a kidney disease and was living with my MOM! THANKS MOM! You saved my life! Anyway, I was worse that just broke! So I answered the question. The worst thing that could have happened was that I could go bankrupt and to me that seemed better than my current situation! Then I asked myself what was the best thing that could happen to me? The answer was that I could become financially free.....and I`m well on my way!
Thank you Don, and all your team for working so hard to change peoples lives. Not having to worry about financial stresses and being able to help my kids has made my life peaceful and happy.
