How REIC is affecting the economy
A few weeks ago, Randy Davis, one of our employees, sent an email to Kris Krohn about his feelings about REIC and how he felt REIC was positively affecting the economy. He wrote:
I spoke to Kris Krohn the other day about how I felt REIC was affecting our economy. I feel that the work REIC is doing is directly affecting the local economy. Each time we bring a new member into REIC and they pay their membership, the work begins! They are taught simple yet effective strategies to help them change what they are currently doing to improve their financial outlook. Then, once they begin investing, additional monies are put to work in this economy to help members improve their net worth. Hundred of thousands of dollars are infused into the economy by refinancing and/or purchasing new mortgages. Banks are helped, loan officers, real estate agents, coaches, title companies, and property managers are employed to fulfill the needs of the investors/members. New jobs are created and dollars are put into the system allowing for car loans, house payments, groceries, medical bills, etc. to all be paid because REIC is stimulating this change.
Six new companies have been formed since the beginning, less than three years ago. Employees of these companies work hard for the investing members rendering important viable services to each REIC member. In addition, hundreds of families are provided housing at fair market prices and the results are that through an education process these home owners are taught how to repair their credit and budget their money so they can be more productive citizens in their communities. They become more self reliant and they are given opportunities to become investors themselves. In addition, members are encouraged to improve their lives through personal improvement programs and concepts. This also brings additional dollars into the economy, while improving the lives and the net worth of the members. Once an individual becomes an REIC investor, the opportunities are immediately available for improving their lives in these areas.
I mentioned that REIC investors are actively increasing their own individual net worths by hundreds of thousands of dollars. Within much shorter time frames than government or other typical investment means these investors can be totally self-sufficient, independent of government retirements, etc for their future well being. REIC has helped hundreds of investors get back on track to accomplish these things while simultaneously bolstering the economy.
Now that REIC has moved to a national focus, it can provide these opportunities to other people around the country and improve the local economies there. I have also witnessed REIC collecting hundreds of cans/pounds of food from employees, investors and seminar attendees to help the local food bank feed families. I am proud to be an employee and a member of an organization like this.
REIC employs a unique purchasing system and proprietary financing formula. It enables us to help people with average jobs and credit do something that few lending institutions can, which is to leverage the maximum number of investment homes onto their credit. Our complex formula considers various banks and ratios, then combines with our real estate system to achieve this.
The website redesign includes a new REIC logo and tagline, “Learn Real Estate, Do Real Estate.” REIC Global is not just in the education business — the company actually helps people invest in real estate.
Welcome to Scare-City, USA (pronounced “scarcity”). The place where you can find offices full of insecurity, houses full of hoarders, little power, little choice and little consciousness in action. Population: Way too many Americans. Where did “Scare-City, USA” get it’s name? From the scarcity paradigm. What is this paradigm and who was the founder? Well, we don’t know. But what we do know, is that tons of Americans believe in this paradigm. That there is not enough–there is not enough resources, not enough money, not enough of anything! Scarcity is a game of limited options. That life is a game based on limits, rooted in doubt, fear and despair. These people are afraid of money–of losing it, of spending it. They hoard and accumulate their money based on typical financial advice (401K). Accumulation is the hallmark, financially, of the scarcity paradigm. They hoard and save and scrimp and hoard and save and scrimp until they have enough money for retirement. However, they face a problem. That it doesn’t work.

Last year among several of my hopes was a goal to qualify for the Boston Marathon. I started running longer distances five years ago. Qualifying for Boston became an elusive goal of mine four years ago! I have set that goal each January. I have to run a marathon (26.2 miles) in 3 hours and 20 minutes or less to qualify for the Boston Marathon. Finally, in 2009 I really meant it! I stuck to my plan. I awoke at 5 A.M. every day to run. Snow did not stop me. Rain, mud, and wind, did not stop me. I did speed work, I ran long distances, I endured ridicule and the constant “why are you doing this?!” question. I ate right and refused ice cream, cake, and many of my other favorite foods. I invested in pair after pair of running shoes and the latest gadgets to record my times and measure my distances and speed.
