Beware! REI Success Academy is just another one of the multitude of "so-called" REI experts that wants to give you personal attention and awesome educational opportunities. Truth is however...what this joker offers could be written on the back of a gum wrapper. With just a small amount of effort ALL the alleged genius of his experience can be found for free, right here on this site. The community of Bigger Pockets has already provived the information, direction and practical experience at no cost, to anyone willing to take the time to diligently seek out the knowledge. Its all righ here for free! Dont be foolish as I was and find yourself staring at an 8-1/2 x 11 sheet of paper with a simple diagram that Zack Childress claims is worth $197 bucks. Thats just 1 example of the materials that Childress wants you to believe is worth over $1300 for the training package. I was raised on the 5th largest cattle operation in Oregon. So I can recognize real bull sh**. And what Zack Childress and REI Success Academy offers is pure BS! Take advantage of the expertise assembled through Bigger Pockets peers. It costs nothing but effort. Someone has already encountered the solution or worked through the deal you are searching out the knowledge for. And again, its available free of charge, without al the webinar hype and most importantly...without the frustration of being scammed"

Has anyone had experience using the asset based lender - Freeland Funding - Josh Cantwell's private money for REI's?

Indeed you may well be sitting a potential gold mine (or 2, or 3 or 4 or?) First you buy, rehab and then qualify for Sec 8 housing. The process in most places is relatively painless in spite of all the horror stories. The pivotal factor for our team is rehab costs. Weve found in two market areas that FSBO's w owner financing is a freeway to huge profits. Just did our 3rd house in 27 days and between the 3 have a POS cash flow of $738. Houses purchased at, 12,500, 19,680 & 22,600 respectively. Rehab costs 23k, 14k & 16k. ARV 79k, 83k & 86k. Note equity alone! DO NOT let others scare you away from the possibility. The key is purchase price and your contractor (pay super close attention to his labor costs). Need more info feel free to contact me.
