Real Estate Investing Strategies

I’m working on a different approach to real estate. A unique approach that doesn’t require a degree, license, or even a high school diploma. Stay tuned!

If you want to see what I do, do two things. This will take you about What do I do? take 7 minutes to find out.

First, watch this 4 minute video at myrenatus.com. AI is coming, like it or not. This is our perspective regarding that. It isn't a sales site, it's the corporate site. Just look around to see the quality involved and then think about how much time, energy and money it has taken to put something like this together...15 years in the making, 82 classes, (each 5-8 hours long), 44 practitioner-instructors who actually do what they teach, daily, weekly, monthly trainings, seminars and...well, you get the picture.

Next go to https://renatus.video/lv7te5gabm for a 3-minute video showing the long-term vision of the company by the Founder/CEO. This will show you the heart of the company. See if something like this can help you. I don't think you have seen anything else quite like this.

As an additional bonus, and for proof that what we do is effective, go to https://renatus.video/lsi4c5l733. This video is 80 minutes long but just watch 5 minutes of it to get the idea that we really do create real estate investors. Take note of the variety of the kinds of people we attract. True diversification!

Now the ball is in your court! Ask yourself if this would fill a void in your business. And understand that Renatus has its own income streams to add to your current business.

Your Future
I want you to see your future.
Not just your next commission check.
Not your next closing.
Your future.
I want you to become as successful as you choose.
I want you to stay in real estate for as long as you want.
And I want you to retire on your terms, not someone else's.
You chose real estate.
That was an important decision.
Most people spend their lives in industries that will never make them wealthy.
You chose the biggest wealth-building industry in the world.
The question now is:
What do you want your life to look like 10, 20, or 30 years from now?
When I got licensed, I thought the license was the opportunity.
I eventually learned otherwise.
The opportunity was the industry itself.
For too many years, I focused primarily on transactions while others were using the same industry to build assets, businesses, leverage, freedom, and long-term wealth.
Nobody explained that to me when I started.
Real estate classes taught me how to get licensed.
My broker taught me how to list, sell, and stay out of jail.
Neither taught me how to build wealth for myself.
That lesson took much longer.
One thing I've learned is that building your future around a single income source can be risky.
Markets change.
Interest rates change.
Technology changes.
There will be another downturn.
There always is.
But with adversity ALWAYS comes opportunity.
The question isn't whether the market will change.
The question is whether you'll be ready when it does.
Some of the most successful people I've met learned to stay flexible, adapt, and create multiple opportunities within the industry they chose because they could see beyond the next transaction.
Real estate can be far more than a career.
It can be a vehicle for freedom, independence, impact, and a life bigger than you may currently imagine.
But first, you have to believe that is possible for you.
Over the years, I've continued searching for better ways to build a future within this industry.
Eventually, I discovered something I wish had been available when I was starting out.
It expanded my vision of what was possible in real estate.
Maybe it will expand yours.
So let me leave you with one question: Are you building a job…or building a future?

My Philosophy:

After more than 50 years as a Realtor, appraiser, investor, and entrepreneur, I've learned something I wish someone had shown me when I was getting started:

Most people think getting licensed is the opportunity.

It isn't.

The opportunity is the industry itself.

At age 25, I began investing in real estate and helped build a portfolio of rental properties. Then I made the biggest mistake of my career—I got out too soon.

Today, my mission is to help others see opportunities within real estate that most people never discover.

Real estate is one of the greatest wealth-building industries in the world. Don't limit yourself to only one piece of it.

Be smart. Learn from my mistakes. Think bigger about your future.

Why did you choose real estate? For something like this? Has anyone taught you this? What else haven’t you been told?

My wife & I acquired a ~$50,000 duplex in 2004.
10 years later, the equity from that duplex…
Turned into 20 units worth $600,000.

• This deal changed everything for us.
• Here’s a breakdown of what happened:
• (& how it changed our lives)

In the fall of 2004, we were in Philadelphia, PA.
We acquired the duplex & renovated the asset.
(All by ourselves)
We then leased the 2-units to local renters.
& began collecting the cash flow.

As 20 year-old investors, this was life changing for us.

Then we got married, & moved to New Jersey.

That move made us realize managing a property ourselves a state away wasn’t effective.

• So we sold the property in 2006.
• Executed a 1031 exchange.
• & bought 2 quadplexes.

• In 2 years,
• We went from 2 units to 8 units.
• Multiplying our wealth.

• Then those 8 units became 12,
• then 16 units,
• then 20 units.

Expanding our portfolio of quadplexes.
All along the same street.

Within 10 years, we turned a $50,000 duplex into a $600,000 portfolio. I’ve done something similar.

If this example resonates with you, let's discuss it. It can change your life.

If you are a newer or younger Real Estate agent with your entire career ahead of you.,I want you to see your future. You are in the biggest wealth-building industry in the world, but as an agent you just have a small piece of this huge real estate pie. You can be ordinary in this business, or extraordinary. Extraordinary is exactly that…extra. What do you offer your clients that other agents don’t? Learn what others won’t so you can accomplish what others can’t. If ordinary is comfortable for you, you won’t need to read any further.

But here are the stats from the NAR…87% of the people who get a real estate license today are out of the industry within 5 years. That’s ordinary. Is that good enough for you?

Don’t limit yourself!. Expand the way you think and the way you do business. You really need to take a long view to see what this can mean for your future, the futures of your children, and beyond.

Very few people your age have such advantages. No other generation has ever had such advantages. But it is up to you to utilize them. If you do, you can go anywhere you want to in this industry and you can actually live life the way YOU want to live it!
Your generation thinks differently. You don’t want any part of Corporate America. You don’t want to be told what to do, how to do it and when to do it, when to come to work and when to go home, how to dress, where to live…how to live your life. You want control…you want to work from home, you want time freedom, individual freedom, mobility, leisure time and a chance to smell the roses while you are young enough to enjoy that. Aren’t I correct about this?

Real estate is one of the few things that offers all of that. What we are talking here is diversification…developing additional income streams and ways to keep more of the money you earn.

You really can’t do this as just a lister and seller. 74% of the wealthy 1% have attained that wealth through a combination of business ownership (which you already have) and real estate INVESTING. None of these people are agents. With this kind of knowledge you can take real estate as far as you want to. The sky is the limit! I believe that every real estate professional in the country should have these tools in their real estate toolbox.

I want to show you the Business and Education Model of the Future and what I think is the best concept in real estate that I’ve seen in my 50-year career. I only wish something like this had been available to me when I got my license at age 25. But it wasn’t possible then…the technology just wasn’t there. It is now!
Offer your clients things your competitors don’t even know about. Set yourself apart. That is how you can compete with those 20 to 30 year veteran agents who already have established themselves For example, show your clients how they can save tens of thousands of dollars in interest on any kind of installment debt…mortgages, car loans, credit cards…even student loans! They will tell everyone they know about this realtor who told them about something that no other agent had ever even mentioned. That is the best kind of advertising…a personal recommendation from a trusted source. You may never need to buy another lead again! And this is just one example.
Does this make sense to you? Isn’t it worth at least a conversation? Only you can answer that. Achievers are risk takers. Are you confident enough in yourself to do that? You certainly owe it to yourself to at least check this out and it won’t cost you a dime to find out about it. You don’t know what you don’t know! Help your clients, help yourself. Ask me how. And ask me to prove it. daleedy at gmail dot com.
