Real Estate Home Based Business

Are You Sick and Tired of All These REI “Gurus” with More Programs to Sell?

Permit me to rant a little about something that absolutely “gets my goat.”  It is the ongoing real estate investment scam of the century.  From the late night infomercial to the “free” webinars, there are a plethora of programs for sale by people who had successes in yesteryear and want to capitalize on that while they rest on their laurels.  What I mean is, there are a number of systems, methods and techniques that may have yielded profits in past markets yet they don’t work now.  The problem is that hundreds of thousands of unwary, but sincere entrepreneurs are being sold a stale product that is hardly effective anymore.

The responsibility has to be jointly carried, though, as it stands to reason that if a product is touted as an “end all/cure all” REI program it should suffice for a while.  It is almost laughable how the self-proclaimed “Guru” will sell the public on his/her system as if there was nothing better, only to hit up their list 3 months later with a “new and improved” program that the REI home business “cannot live without.”

From the 1970s till the present, I have observed the tall claims that these guys make and watched a seemingly endless number of REI program “junkies” buy up their inventory.  Sadly, the term “junkie” is most appropriate as these folks are addicted to buying programs with little hope of any measurable result.  They just keep buying this stuff!

After over 20 years as a highly successful real estate investor, making millions of dollars in the process, I came to the conclusion that a change was sorely needed.  It had to be something so revolutionary that one would never have to buy another REI “program” again.  In late 2008 I established a company that integrated comprehensive training and coaching of student enrollees with a personalized mentorship to see each deal through to closing.  I recognized that the ONLY way a real estate mentor would be truly dedicated to his student’s success was if there was a vested interest in their business.

That was when my good friend and I came up with the “Mentor for Life” Business Plan.” With this plan each enrollee/student acquired an exclusive territory, much like a franchise.  Under this arrangement, each territory is operated as a private business, yet in joint venture with me as their partner.  This has enabled me to tap into the nationwide market by partnering up with my students in local territories around the U.S..

That was a year and a half ago.  Today, I am proud to say that I have assembled an awesome team of dedicated, principle-based experts that I work with every day to that end.  As a team, we have refined our online Training Center, and put on state-of-the-art weekly coaching calls that are designed around the current needs of our T.M.s around the country.  In fact, the entire team is available for T.M.s via phone and email, especially when there is a deal in the works.  Personally, I am available whenever a student has a deal to close.  We are just as motivated as they are to get it closed profitably!

I am proud to say that, in fact, with the “Mentor for Life” Business Plan there would be no need to EVER buy another REI program again.  Because we have the resources, we are constantly doing research and development into the market, designing ways to stay ahead of trends.  As a result we may alter methods from time to time.

As an example, take short sales:  Are any investors handling short sale business exactly like they did in early 2009?  Of course not!  Times have changed and so must we.  A wise man once told me that there was one thing in life that remained constant: Change!  I am glad to say that in my “Mentor for Life” Plan my team works hard to stay ahead of trends so that our TMs continue to receive fresh, timely ideas, methods and techniques that address today’s market climate, not yesterday’s “leftovers.”
