Strategic Home Buying Vision (why this website is different and how you will benefit) ;

To help Calgary Real Estate Investors achieve financial freedom and security through safe real estate investments.

I was careful to word my mission this way.

1) I live in Calgary, so I am closest to investors living here. I know what is going on with the Calgary real estate market and who the key players are.

2) Financial Freedom- my definition of this is having enough passive income every month (not having to go into work for a pay check) that you decide where you spend your time.

My goal is $12,000/month passive income, with $10,000,000 in real estate assets. My goal is to be free to travel and spend my time where and with whom I chose. It all comes down to choice- and I am creating a life that is based on my choices, not others.

3) Safe Real Estate Investments- Everything I have been taught from my mentors has been to protect the downside and the upside will take care of itself. Simply put, do not get into an investment without knowing what your game plan is- from start to finish.

You'd be surprised how many investors buy real estate with no holding strategy or exit strategy.

Many Calgarians investing in real estate over the past 2 years (whether they consciously thought it or not) where using the Bigger fool exit strategy.

The Bigger Fool theory states that you buy something (a house or commercial building) hoping that you can sell it at a higher price for no good reason other than you are able to convince someone (a speculator) to buy it at a higher price.

You will not hear any get rich quick schemes here or how to quit your job in 30 days investing in real estate.

What you will learn, is how to implement a laser-focused strategy for creating long term wealth through real estate investments.

Clarity on what you want is the first step. Surprisingly enough, when I ask most investors what they want, they don't have a simple and specific example.

It seems to me that some investors are waiting for someone else to set their goals for them and then they go along.

Why would anyone do that?

2 reasons I can think of.

1) Most people are not taught how to set their life goals (personal, financial, spiritual, physical), but understanding why you want to make $10,000/month is as important as how you make it.

2) It's easier to steal or borrow someone else's goals, than create their own. If you've read a personal development book by, Tony Robins, Steven Covey, Napoleon Hill, Maxwell Maltz and thought- that's what I want, those should be my goals!

It is no surprise people want more money, true love, happiness and so on- but the more specific you are the more likely you are reach them.

Sitting down with a pen and paper and asking yourself why you want to invest in real estate is key.

I may lose business by saying this- but I have found that my success in helping others is largely based on whether or not they have goals written out and an action plan to achieve them.

Rest assured that I have taken the time to create templates for helping you write out your goals and spent the past 5 years learning how to successfully help others in goal setting, which won't take 6 hours of hard work.

Once you have your goals on paper (with my help) then I determine the action plan we will follow to get you to financial freedom. Goals are only part of the equation. You need an action plan that fits your lifestyle in order to make them a reality. Please take full advantage of the advice posted on this site, it will only cost you a bit of time to read and I value your time, so I do my best not to waste it with trivial crap.

To helping you achieve your financial freedom,
