Q. How much does your program cost?
A. First of all, we provide heaps of high-quality free content, including articles, podcasts, videos, and recorded webinars, which anyone can take advantage of to propel them on the Strait Path™.
Our philosophy, however, is that you do not just learn real estate, but that you do real estate. This requires a substantial team and a substantial effort on our part to deliver hundreds of hours of real estate work for your benefit.
Because everyone is in a different financial situation, we offer three graduated levels in our investment program. For example, some people may have bad credit and/or low income, while others are in a position to buy many homes their first year.
We encourage you to watch the online presentation, or register for an online event, and then speak with one of our financial consultants to ascertain the best fit based on your current situation.
Q. What is my guarantee with the Strait Path™ investment program?
A. We absolutely guarantee that there is zero guarantee — and for good reason.
The fact is that of all the hundreds of people we’ve worked with, no one has lost money on a single real estate during the worst economy since the Great Depression.
That being said, we strongly discourage a mindset of ease, comfort, and relaxation, which a guarantee often creates.
Real estate is difficult and we don’t want you to place your faith in us, as much as in your own ability. Our people succeed because they own their own decisions, and we assist them in doing that.
Q. How can I buy real estate at 90% discounts?
A. Banking terminology for a foreclosure is called an “REO,” meaning real estate-owned. When banks have too many REOs to disposition in a short time frame, they sell them off in bulk. We call this “bulk REO buys.”
These REO packages often require hundreds of thousands, and usually millions of dollars to purchase these homes. Very few of our clients possess enough money individually to purchase such large pools.
We have solved this problem by allowing options for investors to pool their funds together and as a result own a percentage of the real estate. More information is provided for those that call our toll free number at 1-888-325-22582 and speak directly with our financial consultants.
Q. How much money do I need to invest in REO’s?
REIC works with both individuals with millions of dollars and those with limited funds for the REO investment. We customize each clients’ game plan to consider all their different options in relation to both building a local real estate empire as well as their investment with REO options.
REIC assists individuals with money trapped in under-performing qualified retirement accounts. We will help you self direct them, avoiding taxes and penalties and in turn creating an investment into the REO.
Q. What if I have no credit or bad credit? Can I still join the program and invest in real estate?
A. We have a number of ways for people in such circumstances to begin investing.
Yes, you can still join the program! REIC’s Strait Path System is a 10-year program which means there’s going to be times along the way where your credit will take a hit. If you’re credit is not where you want it to be, we will find ways to partner with you and give you the opportunity to invest in real estate.
The best place to start is to read our book, then contact us to speak with one of our financial consultants.
Q. How does your system work during such a terrible economy?
A. Any investment strategy that depends on market cooperation isn’t investing — it’s gambling.
In the Strait Path™ system, appreciation is just one profit center of five. While appreciation is nice, we still make high profits without it.
In fact, our system works especially well in down economies because it provides much-needed solutions. We offer people the ability to purchase homes without the hassle of bank financing.
Furthermore, when they economy’s down there are more discounted properties available. Yet because we only purchase properties with very strict criteria, our homes are not as affected by market downturns as other market segments.
Q. If I already have real estate experience, why do I need this program?
REIC is a complete power team that makes investing in real estate a much easier process. Many of our clients boast we perform as much as 95% of the work for them. This aligns with our philosophy that if you want something done right then DON’T do it yourself.
When existing investors (particularly investors involved in rentals) join REIC we are able to show them how to make as much as an additional 10k a year per property.
For investors using other investment strategies they are able to compare their returns to our Strait Path System and diversify into the real estate strategy with the least time, effort and risk, while providing a powerful service with a strategy that works in both up and down markets while making the most money.
When real estate investors work with REIC they are often pleased with the efficiency, ease and profitability of the Strait Path System.
Q. How do I find the best real estate deals?
A. One of the very exciting parts about joining the Strait Path™ program is that we not only teach, but assist you in creating your own personal property-finding machine.
The machine is easy to set up, and once you flip the switch, it can pump out daily deals for you. Our philosophy is that the deal of the decade comes along daily if you know how to look for it.
Q What do I do with the discounted real estate I buy?
A. Purchasing deeply discounted real estate represents just under ½ of the potential profits.
The other portion comes from our unique Compassionate Financing™ model, where we educate and assist you in financing the home to a family in the community that has previously had difficulty in qualifying for a home.
Through our marketing system, you will be able to attract many people who can take advantage of our non-profit homebuyer assistance program. This program, which comes frees for the tenants provides mandatory credit repair, budgeting training and software, financial mortgage education and a financial consultant to assist them in qualifying for the home in time.
Q. Will there be enough good deals to go around if you are working with so many people?
A. Absolutely. We are expanding nationally and are buying more properties than ever.
Q. Why are you helping other people invest if you can just do it yourselves?
A. Many people live in a world where their actions communicate that the purpose of life is the attainment and hoarding of wealth. What very few expect is that when the wealth is amassed, purposes and paradigms shift.
There are two really good reasons why we do what we do. First, there is powerful fulfillment in assisting people to change their lives — and not just financially. Many comments from our clients are how their marriage and relationship with their children has improved, how they are happier and have a live full of joy. This is the type of experience that fulfills our Soul Purpose.
The second reason, is that it’s profitable. Working with you is one of the best ways to continue growing our portfolio, improving our system, and buying even more real estate than we could without your synergy.
Q. Why shouldn’t I rent out my investment properties?
A. The typical game plan with a rental is to buy a house, rent it for 30 years, pay off the mortgage, and have a great cash flowing property.
While in theory this plan appears sound, the reality is most rentals produce negative cash flow for the first 5 years, not to mention the repair costs and other fees associated with the rental.
In addition to the financial burden, there is often an unexpected emotional burden that comes from complaining tenants, whining about what is wrong and when they want it done. It can easily become a part-time job.
As a result, the majority of investors bails out on their properties within a few years, and become the don’t-wanter themselves.
The Strait Path™ system not only collects a positive cash flow and a sizable down payment, but it is many times more profitable in a much shorter time period. In a proper comparison of the two strategies, no sane person would ever choose to rent out a property again, unless they had a sentimental reason not to sell the property.
Q. How do I find tenants for my properties?
A. Our Strait Path™ investment program provides a comprehensive packet of materials, which details everything you need to know to execute our system. This includes complete information on our fool-proof marketing system, which employs a variety of media to drive traffic to your home and motivate potential buyers to take immediate action.
Most of our clients find tenants for their properties within one month.
Q. How long does it take to move a family into my investment property?
Similar to Rentals, REIC’s Compassionate Financing can take several weeks to find the right family for the home ownership program. The move-in time frame can range from same day the sign goes in the yard up to months after. Typical results depend on the time of year and range between 30 and 60 days to find a qualified family with an appropriate down payment and ability to buy the home within the terms of the contract.
As part of a typical million dollar portfolio game plan, REIC averages 10K per property in a Sleep Well At Night Account (SWAN Account) which allows new investors to have peace of mind as they learn to invest with REIC.
Q. How does your system help tenants, and how am I protected?
Our Home Buyer Assistance Program (HBAP) allows tenants the opportunity to be part of a proactive program with the goal of assisting the family in buying the home they are lease purchasing. This is one of the reasons REIC refers to its program as “Compassionate financing” because tenant is trained in finance, budgeting, mortgage preparation, qualifying for the home, caring for the home and much more.
The investor is also protected with proper business entities and down payments averaging $5,000 from the tenant. This creates security for the investor especially because the family commits to manage and maintain the property and all costs associate with it.
Q. Why do I need to have my spouse involved?
REIC is committed to much more than your financial success. Making the money our clients do is not possible without also experiencing true transformation of your mentality. With the often broken mindsets people have, REIC is committed to teaching and educating people how to create the prosperity paradigm in their life. This program is a transformational experience overall and for people who don’t have the support of their spouse this transformation is not complete.
