Ryan's Experience In REI Accelerator - Christian Based Investing

This is, you know, I think I've mentioned that to you before. This is a million times better than the other groups I've joined and spent, you know, thousands of dollars more on than this. I'm Ryan Chapman from Burbank, California and I work for the entertainment industry in the transportation department.

What made you want to work with us?

REI accelerator number one was the Christian aspect, honestly. And then the second was apartments. That's and something I've been trying to get into for many years. I've always thought how do you get your hands on one of these? There's lots of people doing it, but how do I do it? And then from a lot of these other mentorships and the couple that I've joined, it's all, you know, you got to get a single family house, renovate it, flip it, you know, and just do this. And eventually depends how fast you can accelerate and grow with that program. Then you can get the apartment building your, you know, bypassing the whole thing. And I'm like, it was like the holy grail. Like, you know, this is it. See, this can be done. You know, those are the two main, main drawing points.

So good.

Yeah.

What was the issues before you're having with your journey? Like what, what were the issues that you're having that made you want to jump in with us?

And the huge thing is financing because like even single family homes, there's. You can find those all over the place. So you can find deals or you can find like I bought a burnt out house and Ohio for $9,000. So there, those you can find. But then as far as getting construction financing or this or that, it takes so long to do. That's just a huge issue out there is actually and keep that ball rolling. They need to see numbers coming in all the time. If I'm going to still work 90 hours a week, what time do I have to focus on this just to keep my income coming in where they say okay, we'll approve you for that loan. That was huge.

Awesome. Yeah. Any other issues you're having before jumping in?

The other couple mastermind I joined were just one was just oversaturated. Even a couple of guest speakers came on and they were like, yeah, this, this is pretty much done and there's way too many people here. The second one I joined, it was a good sales pitch and everything seemed promising. Then they had a bunch of videos you could watch and whatnot. They you know, were like email this one person, they'll get you started and things like that. And she responded back with, what can I do for you? You know, it's just like getting a hold of somebody to help actually mentor you and teach you and, you know, things like that. Because I'm here wanting to learn, but if I don't have anybody I can bounce things off of, like, you know, with your group, what am I doing? I'm just spinning my wheels and, you know, just gonna be in the same place I was.

Right. So how does this compare to how it was before?

Oh, like, yes, like I said, completely much different. I mean, you're accessible and Jaden now is there. And, you know, I can actually text you guys personally. You know, I've tried not to bug you too much because I know you have a family, everybody's busy things, but, you know, you're actually accessible. Or I can leave you a message here. I mean, we've got Slack and the website and texting and, you know, there's emails, there's, you know, multiple different ways, and you guys usually respond fairly quickly.

You know, that's awesome. Would you recommend this to other people? If so, what would you say to those people? People that are on the fence or thinking about it?

I don't want to recommend it because that means less time for me and you together, you know, but.

No, we'll ramp things up.

At the same time. No, I totally would. It's just everything from the. All the templates that you give. Figuring out how to. Actually, the big thing was the napkin analysis and learning how to look at the deals, because I would have bought 52 places already and not made money off of any of them because my numbers are, you know, would have been like, oh, this looks great, but you're actually showing, like, no, we need to pay these people and pay, you know, all the other aspects of it. Yeah, I would totally recommend this whole course to anybody.

Awesome, man. Well, that's. That's exciting and I appreciate you sharing all that. Super helpful. And we want to build this thing up to be. Yeah. You know, something that provides a lot of value, like bring in. We want to have the right people in that are taking massive action, like the John pages and the Ryan Chapmans, the people that are actually taking action and are going to be able to partner up people that are coming in with a lot of money. There's a lot of people that are in our program already have money, but we just like different aspects of the deal that people come in.

So like a big group. I totally get it. You know, it's. It's fine if we're all doing our individual things and stuff like that, but also to have other people to lean on and go with and create a group where we're all working together towards the main goal is.

Yeah, that's what I do.

I run 200 guys at a time at, you know, my job. And that's. We're all trying to go for the same goal. So it's hard when you have one or two that are just messed up the whole thing, you know?

Right, yeah, yeah. We need to make sure you're in that next deal, man. So, you know, whatever we got to do to make sure you get there, let's do it. Sky's the limit.

Oh, totally.

Yeah, we're gonna make it happen.

I appreciate it. I'm still out there hunting, so we're gonna find something. You always read the stories or hear about that, especially in Hollywood. Here is like, you know, I came to Hollywood and the next day I was in a massive movie. Well, no, there was something in between that, you know, that you had to meet the right people or do the right, you know, stuff like that. So it'd be interesting to hear the breakdown of it and a template to follow.

Right. So hopefully we'll have him in. We'll implement like another back end group for investors who's hit like 50 to maybe even 100 units minimum. They just want to scale either double or get to a thousand units or something like that. Maybe some more live events and stuff like that.

You're obviously still looking for units and things. How many do you have?

This mastermind deal is kind of the long play for me because it's kind of like, you know, with Larry and we're just investing together. We do stuff together. We buy businesses, we do things. He's just all in commercial, all, you know, doing that. I'm trying to steward this, which means the long term effect of this, this will be massive opportunity in the commercial. It's just like a way of creating lead flow, creating opportunity flow, creating, you know, all this stuff. Right. No one in the mastermind has to work with us. But if you need a loan sponsor, we can do that. You need money, right? We can send it. So that's just opportunity.

Yeah.

This is kind of like a play for us to be able to scale quicker. If we can make this work. It's not like the most profitable thing. It's really just we're growing a group, trying to just put more deals on the, on the table, put more opportunities out there.

Okay.

And by nature, we'll be able to create a lot faster results, even in our own portfolio. Also thinking about, like, creating different awards, maybe doing something really bold. When someone closes that first deal, we get something big. Give them a Harley or something.

I don't know.

I mean, that's a. That's a big prize, but I'm just, you know, I think that celebrating people like that would, you know. Yeah. More momentum.

You know, I was thinking first class to Dubai, but.

Okay, there we go. There we go. Yeah, all inclusive. That might be a good idea.

We'll figure this out. Okay.

I'm working with Jaden right now to create, like, different stages. You hit KPI on your. On your loi. Once you hit that for a week, then we send you, like a gift box or something. And then once you hit your first offer accepted or something. I don't know. I mean, once you sustain it, I don't know.

I like it. Keep the kids happy, you know?

Well, man, I appreciate it, Ryan. Yeah, dude. I want to make sure you're hitting your goals, accelerating. Okay.

Appreciate it.

Yeah. Lord, I thank you for Ryan. I just bless his heart, God. I bless his goals, his passion, God, for you and for your kingdom. God, in his passion to excel and succeed. Bless his family, God, I just pray over his whole family, God, that you would just bless them, Unify them more than ever before. And God, would you even bless his finances and everything he's doing. God, I just declare that you would supernaturally multiply the fruit of his labor in this season. In Jesus name, I just bless that, God. All the deals, God, I just declare that deals will be attracted to him. Really good deals will just be attracted to Ryan in Jesus name. And I just bless that. Bless our this relationship. Bless the relationship he has with all the members. And I just say, have your way, God, in Ryan's life and Ryan's portfolio, in Jesus name. Amen.

Thank you so much.

All right, brother, we'll talk to you soon. Thanks so much for doing it.

Awesome. Thanks.

All right, bye.
