Dear Reader:
I've been a CRE investor for a year now, full time.
One of the millions of
things I've learned is that NOTHING beats a mentor.
Courses and material will
get you a foundation for the terminology. Imagine going back to high school and
trying to teach yourself Physics with nothing but a textbook!
I am
ashamed to admit that a year ago I had a TON of money in the bank. I bought
houses with cash, I held them for several months and sold them.
I tried to talk
sellers into subject-to deals.
I tried lease-options, and failed miserably.
Finally, my cash dwindling, I called upon the help of Brian Gibbons.
We
immediately talked about the difference between sandwich lease-options and the
non-exclusive open option to purchase.
We talked about the cooperative assignment.
Then he dropped the bomb
on me with a simple diagram. The four corners to success are shown on www.creiu.com
Brian showed
me how I can, and must, master the 4 skills of successful investors. They
are:
1. Be able to buy and control property
2. Be able to sell and
lease-option property
3. Build a pool of private money investors
4.
Network with Agents, Professionals and other Investors
My head is
spinning and my business is exploding!
I have appointments with investors.
I
have a database of tenant/buyers.
I have a database of sellers.
Best of all, I
KNOW WHAT TO SAY TO THEM NOW, THANKS TO BRIAN.
Every CREI professional
understands that we can pay 8-10 percent interest for use of their money with a rehab.
But how do you get in front
of investors?
How do you convince them they should invest with you?
Brian taught
me how to talk to the "keys of the vault", the CPAs and Financial Planners.
He did it by talking to me. He was a Financial Planner, if you do not know!
This kind of "real world training" is not something you canget done WELL in a
newsletter.
Many gurus are marketing geniuses.
Many have mastered
foreclosures.
Some people even know how to gather private money.
I got lucky
when I took a gamble on Brian Gibbons because he gave me the complete
package.
If you look at the list of services on Brian's site, you'll see
that there is so much to CREI.
Look at http://www.brian-gibbons.com/Our-Services
and you'll get an
idea of Brian's depth.
I'm starting to sound like a commercial for Brian
and that's not my intention.
After 1 year in the business, I want to make sure
others don't make the same mistake I made.
Hire a mentor.
If you don't like him
or her, hire someone else.
It is the absolute best investment you can make.
I
was too stingy and it almost cost me dearly.
Can you build a house with
just a hammer?
Can you build a fortune and a SOLID business with only 1 CREI
tool?
No way.
Learn to master them all with a good mentor.
You need look no
further than www.brian-gibbons.com as far as I'm concerned.
My family owes
a large debt to his thorough coaching.
