Like Ron I`m going to be blunt.
Nothing that is going to create the lifestyle & wealth you desire is going to come easy. Those who are not willing to bust their ass, get the education, ask for help, put in their time, take a few risks, fall down, and pick themselves up again should just go get a day job and forget about having dreams.
Ron LeGrand is probably the best in the business. Yes he`s arrogant as all get out and a massive promoter - so what - dislike the messenger if you will but embrace the message.
I studied all sorts of quick-turn real estate ideas and sat at home doing mock scenarios for years before ever doing anything with the knowledge until I had an epileptic seizure in 1997 and lost my job and my drivers license. Shortly after this I moved to Alberta and bought a bicycle and started in the business while I looked for a job. A few months after arriving in Alberta from Vancouver REIN brought Ron to town and I drank the lemonade and the rest was history.
I had a good base of knowledge already by the time Ron came to Alberta but I really had no idea if what I knew was legit or just more get rich bs. I attended a few of Ron`s courses and had faith because I had a lot of faith in REIN.
The results were tremendous. In my first year 1997 and starting with nothing more than a cash advance on two credit cards, a cell phone, and a bicycle I did 1.3 million dollars worth of deals with a profit of "A hell of a lot more than I made working". I did it because I wanted to, had to, and had nothing better to do.
Since then I`ve completed 120+ individual purchases all using Ron LeGrand styled techniques to either locate the property, get it under contract, finance it, fix it, flip it, seller finance it, or whatever.... if not all of the above. To this day I have not walked into a bank and qualified for a mortgage to buy a house. I`ve qualified to refinance them but not buy them.
Was it easy no - It took a lot of hard work. The difference between people who make this stuff work and those that don`t is they are not learning the material well enough or are not applying themselves hard enough or in the right manner.
Have faith in the integrity level of Don Campbell, REIN, and what and who they bring to the table. Listen to the message and apply what you think will work for you. Don`t forget to ask for help along the way.
Good Luck,
Hi Wade,
You are absolutely right. I do believe in who REIN brings to the table. I have mentioned this before (like REIN does) that its your REAL ESTATE BUSINESS and you have to treat it that way. If you treat it like a business then you should say to yourself "What do I need to do to take my business to the next level." My answer to that question is that I will start with REIN and then listen to speakers that REIN brings on to the stage for example Ron, Barry, Peter Kinch, Thomas. I was at the Multi Family event this past weekend and REIN brought on stage some amazing speakers. Every single one of them inspired me in one way or the other. To take your business to the next level you not only have to educate yourself (which is the easy part) but also TAKE ACTION (how many times have we heard that!!) and apply where it can be applied.
I will be at the Quick Turn event in Toronto and Seller Financing in Calgary. Hope to see you there!!!
Once again REIN members I signed up for both events and got an amazing deal that saved me $4000. If you are going to either events, you can get the same deal. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at
