  Patrick,

  I love it man! Great idea.

  Well, I’m over 18 and already following you on twitter, your friend on facebook, and subscribed to your youtube channel (you could say I’m a fan)

  So, all that leaves as a requirement is why you should pick me.

  Why You Should Pick Me – I think you should pick me because I was already connected to you on all those networks and I’ve been a fan every since I came across your site 6 or 8 months ago and have been telling everyone I know about it.

  Even if you don’t pick me, thanks for your hard work! You always give awesome content that you can actually apply which is my favorite thing about your blog.

  Doug

  ps I’ve got my fingers crossed.

  Hey Pat as far as the requirements:

  2) check

  3) check

  4) check

  5) check

  6) You should pick me as the winner because I’m a doer instead of a talker. Awarding first place to someone that will take action and use the prizes should be #1 as far as I’m concerned. I’m hungry, motivated, and will do whatever it takes to become a successful real estate investor(as long as it’s ethical). I will become one of your best testimonials!

  Thanks for your consideration and I’ll be doing some of the other stuff too but I’m at work right now so I have to go.

  this is a very good idea and the price affordable
  now who wouldnt like to take advantage of this opportunity
  thank you

• http://www.premier-property-solutions.com/ William

  Wow great contest. Thanks for putting this together.

  I’ve got steps 2 to 5 done.

  You should pick me because I’m already actively buying properties and could use the info right now. I want the download library! I’m pretty well versed in many aspects of real estate investing but am always looking to learn more.

  Well that was easy. Looking forward to seeing how it all plays out.

  Hey Patrick,

  Nice going again with being creative and making things happen. I think you should pick me because I am organizing an REIBlitz where I or my business partner will be interviewing 11 Real Estate Gurus across the country and I will be contacting you to see if you’d like to be 1 of the 11 guru’s interviewed.

  These interviews will be broadcast to over 100k people who are in the investing arena. How is that for connection and exposure for you?

  Hey Patrick!

  I see you doing your thing. Great work! After, that’s what’s all about. Social Marketing, Social Marketing and Social Marketing. More and more I start seeing many people emphasizing the importance of social marketing and how that relates to us in the real estate market. As you already know, I am totally new to this industry. I get so loaded with information that it becomes useless to me in the sense that I don’t know what to follow or where to go with so many leads. Buy hey, that’s newbies. I am sure you can relate to that as well. Well, looking forward to the challenge of the contest. By the way, don’t think you in it all alone. I am going for it too. LOL C-ya there!

  I wanted to say a big thank you for your kindness and generosity to the real estate investing community. You are doing great things here!

  I think there are people out there that need this more than me so don’t pick me. I already have a couple courses that I purchased recently so I’m still working on getting through them.

  I look forward to seeing how it goes. Have a blessed day :)

  Patrick,

  I would like to be chosen as the winner of this competition, because I believe that this would push me over the bump in the road that I currently stand at.
  I have been reading and using all of the great information that you and Trevor put together for all of us. Thank y’all for all of the help that you provide for us.

  I once read something that you emailed where you said that your mentor told you that he wanted you to help other investors getting started. Just as you are helping all of us, this is the way that I want to give back to other investors also.

  Until I found your website I was constantly drug into sites of limited information where it was just another thousand dollar program.
  The information that y’all provide is solid and true, and I appreciate all of it.

  Thank you,

  Dustin

  Thanks for the contest entries everyone! I can already tell that it’s gonna be tough deciding who to pick …

  Claire, that was very sweet of you to say. I appreciate it!

  Rickey and Dustin, glad to see you guys throwing your social media links in there …

• Tim Bratz

  Great idea, Patrick! It’s awesome how you incentivize people to get off their butts, meet other people, and take the action steps necessary to become successful real estate investors by offering them free material and knowledge that you’ve spent thousands of hours gaining. I gotta give you props, my man! Thanks from all of us!

  I’ll be sure to get my entry in right away!

• http://none WILLIAM ALLEN

  Wow Patrick. not only are you full of knowledge. You also are willing to help others that are trying to get a start in the business just like me! I must say as a former mortgage broker here in Michigan, I thought I know the industry inside out! In the last two years though, I have found out that I am like a child in the middle of the sea by myself. Without companies like your’s, I don’t know where I would be. After totally losing everything, and having to start all over with a wife, and 5-girls, this is the breath of fresh air that I needed! Without question, I feel that I deserve a chance to become one of your student’s, because I am a quick learner, I can follow directions, I have a inner-drive (as a minister, husband,father, and a now unemployed man in Michigan (with the highest unemployment rate in the country). I know that this will work for those that are willing to be taught, and I am one of those!Remember this though, I will be successful, no matter who is chosen, because I believe in myself! Thank-you, for the opportunity and God bless!

• Corinna

  I read every single thing you send me and watch the videos and check out your other online venues. Very creative idea
  and I appreciate the info sent my way. Some folks make you pay for that content! I’m actively participating in commercial real estate and multi families in the greater Boston area.

  Hey Patrick,

  There should be more entries for this sweet give-away. Count me in man. The education NEVER stops.

  I was thinking about filming a short vid for this entry last week, so I could keep you updated on my progress. I was trying to close on my first real estate transaction. The deal kind of fell through, on a part of the seller.

  I was going to net 18k, 18 days after turning 18 years old. You like how I set that up, don’t you. But it’s all good. You’ll have to help me think of something bigger for the next one.

  For the PMBP contest, I was still 17!!

  You already know it. My success in this biz, and reality shift, will be a result of guys like yourself, giving away MASSIVE Value.

• Patrick Riddle

  Great contest! The lucky winners would receive all of this extremely valuable information, and it also gives everyone the opportunity to connect with many real estate investors at once… priceless :)

  Everytime I read the articles, watch a video, etc., that Patrick and Trevor have done it motivates me. Having access to Patrick’s knowledge and expertise would be a tremendous advantage.

  Patrick takes the time to encourage and help others, because he wants everyone to be as successful as he is in real estate investing. It encourages many others to do the same.

  I have completed steps 2 through 6. I would like to connect with other real estate investors as well. I am listed on the following sites if you want to add me to your list:

  Patrick,

  I’m over 18 and already following you on twitter, your friend on facebook, and I just subscribed to your youtube channel.

  Pick me because I am a full time real estate investor who needs to get a system working. I’ve been investing in Real Estate for 3 years, but got caught in the market change. It caught me pretty hard.

  I think Charleston is the coolest city. My daughter is moving there in less than a month. My sister and her family live there and have been there for about 10 years. Visiting and looking over the ocean is the greatest.

  Basically; You Should Pick Me.

  Byron

  Hey Patrick,

  Another solid contest man! I’ve completed the 6 initial requirements for the contest, along with retweeting the contest on my twitter page, including my fb/twitter/youtube links below, connected with other investors who have displayed their links, posted the link to this page on my fb profile page, and connected with some other investors via their social media sites.

  One other thing that has worked really well for me locally is to get on the local REIA group’s “meetup” page (below). I’ve been able to send direct e-mails to over 60 local investors (you’re limited to sending 12 e-mails a day, but I’ll eventually get to all 155) to gain a better understanding of their business model & how we might be able to benefit each other in our real estate investing businesses. I’ve had some pretty big success already – found 2 hard money lenders, 1 potential private money lender, several rockstar realtors, and added dozens of investors to my buyers list!

  You know I’m a sponge for knowledge & will take massive action with your teachings & mentoring advice!

  Hi Patrick,
  Well I follow you on Twitter, Befriended you on Facebook, Subscribed to your You Tube Channel and Retweeted you on Twitter. Wow ! I would Love to win the contest because my wife has been a real estate agent for 25 years and every time I bring up that I want to start investing for us, she laughs at me and tells me that I could never succeed at it ! I know I can do it, and I would love to prove her wrong. I used to be a winner in life. I made some investments with friends I trusted and was ripped off. I gave my ex-wife our home and the rest of what I had left which was $200,000.00. I had invested $300,000.00 with one friend and lost it, and $500,000.00 with another friend. When I divorced my ex I just wanted peace and thought I was getting paid. I didn’t. He got 14 years, I lost everything. It affected my health and my attitude about myself. I got so low that I had to get food stamps and beg for enough money from the state to just get by. Recently, the old winner in me started getting restless. I knew I wanted to do something. All I need is a break ! Despite how my present wife feels, I know I can do anything I put my mind to. That’s the way I always was until I screwed up and trusted my friends. Anyway, regardless of whether I win or not, I think it’s cool that your’e offering this training to someone. I know that whoever wins can use the training and the association with you to make their dreams come true. Thanks Patrick and my Best Wishes to you and yours. Ed
