General Property/Real Estate Investing FAQ

This section covers a broad range of real estate investing questions that we have received over the last few years.

We need to be able to sell a house to one of our investors at 65% of the after repaired value including purchase price, repairs and closing cost and profit of at least $5000

If you are interested in buying one of the houses that we may be marketing at any point and time, visit www.propertyattic.com

There are many ways to fund a deal. The first answer is a hard money lender. We do indeed work with a few "preferred lenders". You can email us at info@reiconferences.com with "Hard Money Lender Contacts" in the subject line and we will email you their contact info. Hard Money Lenders generally provide loans that incorporate the cost of the property, rehab expenses, and closing costs into one loan provided the amount is no more than the 65%-70% of the after repaired value.  You can also use cash partners, credit partners, conventional bank money and private money just to name a few.

If you have a property that you would like to possibly sell to us or one of the investors in our network, we require:

1. Comps for the after repair value (either from a licensed real estate agent or a "Subject To" appraisal)
2. Rehab list from a professional with price of repairs.
3. Our cost 

Remember that we are wholesalers. This means that we have to buy below 65% of the ARV.  That 65% ARV needs to include the cost of the house, rehab cost, our wholesale profit, and points and closing cost.  Anything below that offer will be your profit.

Example:

You would need to negotiate a lower price for your profit.

That's ok. All you need to do is find another investor to fund you or be a bird dog for, or partner with, another investor on your first deal or two then you can afford as many deposits as you need. The best place to start looking is your local investors club or your investor buyers list. REMEMBER.... make sure that paying and/or receiving a bird dog fee is legal in your state!

We are always looking for more properties so if you come across a property that is a true wholesale property and meets our criteria, please feel free to contact us about it. You will need to email us at info@reiconferences.com about the property and include as much information as possible. If you have an appraisal and pictures, they are very helpful. We will contact you for more information if we determine that the property meets our criteria.

Get some education and then start making offers. Join our weekly free training calls. Go to: www.reiconferences.com/telecalls_pro.htm to register. You must register every week to participate.

Check out www.propertyattic.com, our sister site where we list any deals we or one of our investors or wholesalers might have for sale.

Building Wealth Course FAQ

In the Building Wealth System Course, you will find some of the same information that you will in other courses as I wanted a new investor that has never invested in other courses to have all of the tools they need. You will, however, find many tools, resources,  processes, procedures, software and more in my course that are exclusive to REI Conferences and my own system that you will not find anywhere else.

Yes, as long as it is within your immediate family.

A list will drop down and you should click on "select all". Then place your mouse over one of the documents and left click on "copy". Then minimize that screen and click on your "My Documents" icon to open up you're "My Documents" folder.

In the years that I have been traveling across the US teaching my Real Estate Investing System, I have heard from and have testimonials from students in all areas of the world.  I have students in the USA, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Vietnam, Mexico and Canada. I have no idea how the real estate business works in those countries but all I know is that we have never had a return from any of our International students. If it will work there it will certainly work where you are. Please remember though that it will only work if you take action and APPLY what you learn!

Buying Tour FAQ

This section covers our most frequently asked questions about REI Buying Tours.  For more information about this exciting event or to register, simply go to: www.reiconferences.com/buyingtours.htm

How much is it and what is included?

Are my meals and hotel expenses covered?

You pay your own hotel expenses but we negotiate a discounted rate for the group. We do pay for your meals, your training materials and the the limo bus while on the tour. We GIVE you the Building Wealth System, our proprietary software and spreadsheets for analyzing property for no charge.
 

Can you do payment arrangements?

As an REI Buying Tour participant you are eligible to bring one additional guest with you for a discounted fee. That person may be a spouse, parent, business partner or child over the age of 12.

What should I bring along on the tour with me?

Be sure and bring your pre-approval letter or proof of funds letter from your bank.  You will absolutely need this to make offers. If you don't have this, after you submit your registration packet, we will put you in touch with our own lenders who can help you. A laptop if you choose, but it is not necessary. A digital camera is good, but again not necessary. A light jacket is good in case of weather changes. A pad for taking notes is a good thing. Be sure and also bring your check book so that you can write earnest deposit checks for the offers you make.  This is a necessity.
 

How many properties are generally shown on the tour and what type?

Between 40-50 Single Family Home, Duplexes, Triplexes, Fourplexes and Small to Medium Sized Apartment Buildings. We show a solid variety of properties that will all offer double and triple digit returns on our investments.
 

Does it matter if I am a wholesaler, a Flipper or a Buy and Hold Investor? 

We have many students who come along to simply "Get access to our Team and the Deals" so that they can go back to their respective states and wholesale them to other investors at their local clubs or in their areas. We also have many other investors that buy, fix and flip the properties and then of course there are a great number of Investors along that buy the properties and rehab, refinance and cash out and then hold the properties for long term passive cash flow. Our power team is instrumental in helping you do this from many miles away!
 

Does it matter if I am a "Newbie" or Seasoned Investor?

Not at all.  We have a few "Newbies" as well as a few seasoned investors on every tour. For the w folks, we are literally walking you through the steps of being a successful investor. We show you every single step of the process. For the "Seasoned Vets", we are giving you a new market on a silver platter along with a million dollar rolodex of our contacts and sources! We cater to both the new AND seasoned investors.  This is the most comprehensive training program in the industry today and that's why over 50% of our clients come back on a 2nd, 3rd and even 4th tour sometimes! Nearly half of every tour is usually alumni! That speaks for itself.
 

How many students are allowed on a tour?

We only allow 15-18 investors on each tour. Period. It's a small and intimate learning experience with one on one mentor access to Charrissa, which is what makes it so valuable.

What's the schedule look like for the weekend?

The schedule is like this: On Friday we do an introductory session to talk about what's going to happen over the weekend and then go through your handbooks. We have dinner and then meet the power team in person and enjoy a networking session. Saturday and Sunday there are classroom session/number crunching and offer writing sessions in the morning and evening of both days and then we are on a bus all day on Saturday and Sunday. Sunday evening is when the official offer writing session takes place as well as the strategy sessions!
 

What's the difference between the coaching program and going on the tour and will they give me the same results?

The difference between the tour and the coaching is that the tour is an 8 week program that is done over the phone and web. Each and every week, we so through a different part of the process and cover it in depth. During the 8 weeks, we cover the entire 10 steps, hiring a virtual assistant, buying and holding, wholesaling and lease options. The trainings are webinar style where you watch Charrissa's screen while you listen and interact by asking questions.
 

The tour is a live, hands on event where Charrissa takes a small groups of investors to a select city and introduces you to here power team and then you go on a bus for two full days looking at properties that have been preselected.  Charrissa does the financial analysis, you tour each property and learn why it would be a good, great or bad investment and every single investor gets one on one access to Charrissa in addition to access to her personal power team in that given city. Charrissa and her team have already done all of the research and the due diligence for you and you simply make offers at the end of the tour. However, there is a huge emphasis placed on the education. Charrissa wants to make sure that you are learning the "process" and the "system" so that when you leave that given city, you can DUPLICATE what she has taught you while you were there. You will also have the opportunity to network with other investors from all over the country who have attended the tour as well.
 

Does everyone by property on the tour?

Everyone has the opportunity to buy property while they are there and this is the reason to go on the tour. If you are not planning to buy property at the time, the tour may not be the best thing for you, and you many want to go through the coaching program instead. Charrissa makes sure everyone is pre-approved through the lenders prior to attending the tour because the people who are on the tour are doers. They are coming to a new city to not only learn, but to take action and buy property. On the buying tours you are essentially being handed a new market on a silver platter and it is the perfect opportunity to learn how to buy real estate the right way with someone holding your hand all the while!
 

Does everyone want the same property?

WE show enough properties on the tour (40-50) so that we don't have this problem. There are several great deals –not just one or two. We make sure that everyone has the opportunity to make offers on a property and that there are no issues over a certain property. On the tour, we treat the process just like it would be treated if you were at home making offers. All offers are submitted to the seller or bank regardless and the Seller makes the decision as to which offer is accepted. Charrissa, here team or REI Conferences have no say so or control over which offer the seller will accept.
 

Can I contact Charrissa after the tour if I get stuck or need help?

Yes, you are welcome to contact Charrissa via email or set up a phone appointment if your issue cannot be handled via email.   She takes pride in mentoring her students to success.
 

Why do you pick certain cities that you do to do the tours in?

Charrissa and her team only select those markets that they have already been in and it makes sense to invest in currently. Certain strategies work better in certain markets and REI Conferences pays close attention to which phase of the economic cycle and real estate cycles that we are currently in. We only go into those markets where it makes sense timing wise and where we have all of the "kinks" worked out of the chain.
