I am very new to the REIC team. In fact, until three weeks ago, I had only heard the name REIC once or twice on the radio and had a vague idea that they did something with real estate. Having some previous interest in real estate investing, and investing in general, I was intrigued. But I, like many others, have had experiences in real estate that turned me off to the idea of ever “investing” in real estate.
My paradigm of real estate investing had been soured by bad experiences with real estate agents, an economy in the dumps, an almost complete lack of time (because I have had to work so much to keep the bills paid), and the word “landlord.” I know for a fact that I would never make a good landlord. And I have no desire to find out otherwise.
I began looking into REIC when their Human Resource Department contacted me regarding a position I had applied for. The interview process started with a phone interview, and being the good interviewee that I am, I looked at their web site for more information about the company and what they are about. Five hours later I had to take a break and begin processing all of the information I had just taken in. I began to ask myself if this was just another scam. Can such huge returns happen in a down real estate market? During a phone interview, I asked for more information about the company. One of the questions I asked was about the growth of the company over the past year. The number I was told was astounding: over 300 percent. And this growth was experienced during a down economy. So I continued with the interview process and became successful at becoming one of the newest REIC employees.
All of this took place about two weeks ago. Based on my experiences with the people of REIC, I am confident that REIC will be around for a very long time and will help people make a lot of money in real estate—including me.
