Keep your insights and information up to date about the BRRRR strategy. Your questions answered and connect with like-minded investors

Real Estate Investors - Are You Ready to Accelerate Your Activity?

The market is hot, interest rates are at all-time lows, everyone is telling you now is the time, it’s a ‘no-brainer’ offer, and on Facebook everywhere you turn there is suddenly another expert who made $1 million in 7 weeks!

Real estate investing sounds exciting, even easy and with the current market and opportunities where could you go wrong?

But too many investors are jumping into or expanding their portfolios without all the facts, working a proven system or having a reliable sounding board for an unbiased opinion and they are losing thousands of dollars and may not even know it yet.

Or worse they are afraid to ask or are paralyzed from making any decisions and missing great opportunities.

When I started out, I didn’t know what I didn’t know. But one thing I noticed was that there were others who had built a system, found the answers and been successful because they listened to others who had been there and done it successfully too.

Imagine in 10-15 years time quitting your 9-5 job, sitting back with a portfolio of cash flowing properties and the freedom to spend time doing what you love.

That’s what I did on October 1st, 2020, Freedom Day as I will forever call it.

In a little over 7 years, I have retired from my J.O.B. with a 10 property, 14 door portfolio using the BRRRR strategy. These were a mix of long and short-term rentals to boost cashflow while utilizing the BRRRR strategy.

It wasn’t always easy, I sure made mistakes, but there were three key things I put in place;

  1. I discovered and developed a proven strategy and many processes
  2. I built my professional power team and worked the plan for the longer term, no get rich quick or overnight success.
  3. I sought the guidance and advice of other successful investors and surrounded myself with like-minded people

That made the difference and helped me achieve my goal in half the time I had originally set.

And now I want to offer what I have learned and know so you can enjoy the same freedom I am now reaping.

What challenges were you facing prior to joining?
I was facing an overload of information which led to inaction. With so many real estate strategies out there it was a challenge mapping the strategy to the processes. Also, I was not clear on how to analyze a profitable deal. . Overall, I was unable to take action.

What made you choose the BF Community?
I choose the BF community for two reasons - leverage Sarah's deep expertise and be part of like-minded individuals all going through the same journey. After just a few weeks of being part of the BF community, it was apparent to me that real estate is a big industry but a very small community. Oftentimes the solution to your real estate problem comes in the form of a person. Sarah has generously shared her network and has made important connections that helped develop my team.

What difference has it made?
I am much more organized and well equipped to talk to various stakeholders (mortgage brokers, realtors, wholesalers, BCIN designers, contractors etc). Just like running any business, it is important to lay the foundation for systems and processes. Sarah helped declutter all the noise and through sharing her knowledge and experience, provided a guide for each BRRRR step - I find myself constantly referring back to these checklists. In just a few weeks, I have a strategy and a plan in place. I'm working with my team both on the ground and virtually which has given me the much-needed acceleration I was looking for.

What has surprised you most about the experience so far?
Your network is your net worth. Real estate is all about building the right relationships and working collaboratively - just like a community. Don't reinvent the wheel. Learn from others' mistakes.
If you want information that is fast and validated through referrals, this is the community for you.

"I just want to let you know, we really enjoyed your 1st training last night, it was very insightful and very informative and your delivery was impeccable, we feel like we got our money’s worth in your 1st training session.

It really gives us some guidance to narrow our focus as well, keep up the great work.

More importantly, my boys showing interest in your BRRRR program gets me excited, Warren said he is getting it, so in 90 mins and on the first call, my son knows a lot more about BRRRR than when he started his day yesterday.

You are changing lives at a young age, good on you.

I can’t wait to spread the word about your BFC"

We are so grateful to have the Community and Sarah!

The focused knowledge, straightforward guided explanations from Sarah, countless resources, connections and the active chat with the entire community, have quickly brought many of us to great success already.

We personally find it amazing how fast you see the benefits of “investing in yourself”. This course has already paid for itself 10x over by one mistake alone we could have made without it!

The value for the cost is way beyond comparison to any other REI course I have paid for.

Sarah delivers more than you would ever imagine, hands down!

Proudly,
Kelly and John Casimiro
Sarah's method of teaching is not about only learning about a specific investing using a certain "textbook" technique, she teaches you the tools, techniques and methods to make it part of our lifestyle. I have taken various courses on real estate, and have very rarely met someone who is able to provide guidance in such a practical way that you can start incorporating it immediately as part of your investing journey.

Sarah actually CARES about her students learning journey- this is not a generic statement but is something that she consistently demonstrates on a regular basis. She makes herself available to answer any and all questions and has a very positive, and encouraging attitude towards her students.
