The quality just wasn't good and even though the samples they have posted seem to depict the level of creativity and quality of design, the end product was nothing like it.

While I don't expect this to make a huge difference in $$ from one investment, if it gets the kids excited about investing and checking in on the stock, it's worth it, and they will hopefully go on to learn much more at a much earlier stage in life than kids that fail to get this exposure.For older folks, I think it's just all about repetition and an understanding that if you take a random sampling of the population, 95 out of 100 are going to look at you like you are crazy when you tell them that it is possible to build significant passive wealth in 5-7 years or so.

I'm trying out DealMachine, and while I actually quite like the interface, I think the sample templates they provide are garbage.

My next step was to tell everyone I knew that I was a real estate investor and send them a package I prepared in PowerPoint (turned into a PDF) that detailed my target market, business plan, estimated timeline to purchase, rehab, and sell, and how a sample deal would be structured.I was able to get two family friends to commit over $20,000 with one of them committing to multiple investments.
