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

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!

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

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:

Facebook – realdealgirl
