What Students are Saying
“…In March 2004, after hearing about the importance of goal setting discussed at a local DC-REIA meeting, I went home and set goals. My major goal was monetary: to make $100,000.00 as a RE investor in my first year. Well, I am glad to say that I completed my first wholesale deal in June 2004. After that, I left my job to work as a full-time investor. I have now completed 6 deals, including 2 rehabs, and have made over $117,000.00 since I set those goals one year ago. Here is a summary of the deals I have completed so far: in June ‘04 a Wholesale Deal for a profit of $10,000; in Jan ’05 a Wholesale Deal for a profit of $15,000; in Feb ’05 managed a rehab for another investor for a profit of $4,900, closed on a rehab deal with a partner where we split a total profit of over $81,000, and listed/sold a property for a commission over $8,000; March ’05 closed rehab deal for a profit over $40,000!” - Scott Gunn
 "I want to thank you immensely for your guidance in raising private capital to fund our real estate transactions. Although we have wholesaled a number of properties to generate operating capital for our business, we were anxious to raise private funds to take our business to the next level and break into the realm of $30K+ profit per deal. This type of profit is virtually unattainable if you do not have access to significant capital to buy great deals when you find them. -- I am truly appreciative of your willingness to help us, even though you were not profiting from our venture. As a result of your guidance, we were able to host an incredibly successful Private Investor Seminar at The Army-Navy Club on October 23, 2004. The initial results indicate that we raised between $500,000 and $1,000,000 to fund our property acquisitions! This event marked the end of the wholesaling period and the beginning of being the dealmaker that buys the deals from others! Thanks again and please let me know if we can reciprocate in any way to help you!" - Marcus Lackey
