Has anyone had experience with Jemal King’s Make Real Estate Real program? He is also known as the 9 to 5 Millionaire. He essentially did what David Greene did working in law enforcement and investing in RE. He is pretty popular on Instagram and seems to be blowing up. He developed an online course through Eric Thomas and Associates (who I am big fan of). He is offering lifetime membership for his training course for $1000. Thoughts?

I've taken his course, and it's AWESOME! I did both, he offers one in-person course and an online course. The live course is cool because he brings his actual team to the sessions and at the end you get to walk around some of his current projects (in Chicago). The online course is cool because 1. you can replay the videos and 2. He gives a little bit different info than the live course. The online also includes testimonials and a credit repair portion.
Also, I reached out to his team and they actually responded! They set me up with a lawyer, agent, and hard money lender. Since I'm out of state and not looking to relocate (I live in California), I wasn't able to get the first time home owners loan. I'm currently looking for help (with funding) on my first project if anyone's interested.
But overall, I'd say his course is worth the money! And to be honest, it's a lot cheaper than other courses I've seen out there.
I heard about him several years ago on a health show podcast. The host is friends with Eric Thomas. I'm really considering taking the course. I follow him and have watched most of his videos and listened to their podcasts.

Hi, I know I'm extremely late to the conversation. I’m a complete beginner and I'm planning on getting started with Jemal King’s Make Real Estate Real. I'm curious about how the program was for you and what you were able to learn from it. Feel free to share any tips and information thank you.

@GlennVerley
That is awesome bro! How does he compare to the information BP provides etc? I used to live in CA and have temporarily moved to S.C. for the next few years for work. I am very much considering taking his course! Any info is greatly appreciated!

To be honest @Craig Boudy, the information is the same as Bigger Pockets. Except you won't get lost going down a rabbit hole, everything is simple and actionable. As they say, "nothing is new under the sun" and I've found that saying applies even more in real estate. However, what his course DID do was introduce me to his personal team. And they (his team) are actually open and willing to help you get started in order to accomplish your goals. There's truly no "catch". No up-sale to meet his team or do business with them. No up-sale to purchase another of his courses. No up-sale for a meet and greet luncheon. No up-sale for anything.
He's totally open. He gives us access to everybody from his agent to his contractor to his accountant. He even took us to the exact Home Depot he uses.

I appreciate the response bro. Another question, if I were to just do the online course, I see that you get lifetime access to the content. Does that also mean that you get lifetime access to his team as well? Does his team work with you only if you invest in Chicago or will they assist you in other states?
What kind of deals are you interested in investing in? If you want to, you can send me a private message to communicate further.

@Brandon Sanders
I am in the middle of taking it right now and the information, along with the PDF cheat sheets and information is so valuable and easy to follow along. I get overwhelmed by reading the long books and have found that the videos are packed with information. They are giving the valuable information without the BS fluff you have in books. So far, I recommend it and I got the course for the special price during a sale too. Lifetime access.

@Craig Boudy
O wow! That sounds amazing. I have found very little feedback online so I really appreciate your take on it. I think I am going to pull the trigger on it tomorrow. I just wanted to get some honest feedback first.
@Brandon Sanders did you happen to buy the online course? how is it? are you satisfied with the content given the $997 price tag? Ive been wanting to buy this course for over 6mo, any feedback would help!

Hello Everyone,
I have taken the online course and just as Glenn Verley stated it is great! You get access to the whole team...attorney, funding, broker, Project managers, General Contractor's..etc. I purchased my LLC, received funding, now working with the broker/realtor's office to find a property in Illinois. Things are tightening up a little right now, but there are still deals available depending on your cash and credit.
Jemal's team only works in Chicago, in which they have a great system. Mark the Funder will fund in all 50 states.

I like the course, Jemal did a great job at putting all the various information into one spot... I think he naturally has an optimistic point of view when it comes to real estate and forcing equity into distressed properties. But overall, I don't regret it taking the course. As of now I am in the process of gaining capital and doing more research but this is the greatest resource I have as of now...

Hello Germaine,
Yes, MRER would be a great place to start along with checking out all the forums here on bigger pockets. Both speaks and teaches about wholesaling being possible when starting with little or no funds! Also I would suggest looking for Real Estate Investment Groups in your area to gain more knowledge and hands on experience... I hope this helps!
Like Tony said, I would also recommend MRER. I love the forums here, but there is so much info that it can be a bit overwhelming at times. My recommendation to get started with no/low money down would either be to wholesale or to get a group of investors and partner up to fund a deal. The cool thing about MRER is the community of like minded investors.
When I started, I didn't have that much money. So I asked around in the FB group and now I have 2 partners and we are in the process of getting funding with Mark Buford. That's another great thing about the course; Jemal GIVES you access to his team and they have always either answered my call or got back to me afterwards.

Hi Tony - did you ever close on a property or are you still looking? I’m interested in this program more so for access to the team and lower priced properties. I’m currently in the process of closing on a single family with a turnkey provider in Memphis and I’m looking to see how the MRER process compares to that.

I Love this thread. I have been contemplating about taking that course as well. I started learning about real estate almost 2 years now, but have been wondering if this course will help @Adrienne Wilkins let me know how this goes and it is helping you in Memphis because that is where I want to invest in as well

@Keleisha Carter If you’re looking to invest in Memphis I’d say checkout reination.com - they’re a turnkey company so they buy the house, rehab it, place tenants, and handle property management- they sell the properties to investors and all you do is collect the check (there is a fee for the services of course). They require a 20-25% down payment though. I’m closing on my first property with them tomorrow actually.
At a lower price point I’ve also looked into turnkeyinvestproperties.com - same setup but their homes are cheaper ($70-80K). Their inventory is low right now so this may be a better place to start if you want to jump in at a lower price point and you want to take your time picking a property.
I’m not local to Memphis and I actually traveled there to meet the team and to see the property - every went great.

@Robert John Yturralde I took the course and it is awesome bro. Yup, $997 for lifetime access. I am about to close on my first flip in a few weeks in Chicago. The layout is simple, just follow the plan step by step.

@Tony Hill 100% The course is amazing bro. I’m about to close on my first fix and flip! Was scared as hell, but you gotta jumó. Just use the team that’s already in place
