Lifestyles Unlimited

Ive used their program for years now with great success. The mentors are always responsive and extremely helpful. I initially joined as a Challenge member and did well and I recently upgraded to a Preferred member. I am still adding to my single family portfolio with a lot of help from the mentors, vendors, and training they provide. I easily made the money put into the membership back after my first deal sold.I truly believe I would not have been nearly as successful without the Lifestyles team. I definitely would not have started investing as early as I did without their help.

After I read Robert Kiyosakis book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, I had no idea how to implement his ideas about investing in real assets - like passive income real estate.That was until I learned about Lifestyles Unlimited. I joined back in 2012 and have acquired 12 rental properties through their investing education strategies. They truly do take you by the hand and teach you how to do it, step-by-step. They are an answer to prayer on a way to get out of the rat race.A few benefits Lifestyles Unlimited has over other real estate investor groups are:1) they are local2) the members are very active (they walk the walk); plus it feels like one big happy family3) They are relatively inexpensive compared to other real estate investing groups. Their Financial Freedom Program (FFP) costs approximately $240 per year and after taking it, you will be completely equipped to move forward in buying your first rental property. There is their flagship 2-day course, unlimited Q&A with a mentor, hundreds of hours of online education plus all the documents that you need to be successful. Other groups, like Rich Dad, would cost thousands of dollars for the same value.You can see it for yourself by going to their monthly case studies (in San Antonio and Austin) where you see real locals showcasing their deals.

Lifestyles Unlimited has changed our lives. Its the real deal. My wife and I have been members for 2 years and Lifestyles helped with the following:1. Became partners in two apartment complexes that each have 250 units.2. We have a duplex for 13 years prior to joining Lifestyles and through the guidance of Lifestyles we sold that duplex via 1031 exchange used the proceeds to buy 5 single family homes.3. We had another duplex that we sold and did another 1031 exchange along the sale of 1 of the 5 single family homes and bought a 24 unit apartment complex. This would not have happened without the help of Lifestyles Unlimitied staff and fellow investors.People who helped us areJoe Flores - National MentorJillian Garland- Single Family MentorKacey Klaus - Single Family RealtorChristian Kyle - Commercial RealtorJulie Murphy - Operations ConsultantDoug Krumel - Multi-Family ConsultantKim McLean - Multi-Family ConsultantLynn Morrow- Vice PresidentFellow Lifestyle MembersPeople think they can do this by themselves. They might be able to, but probably not well, without training. The membership fee is worth every penny. Penny wise and pound foolish are the people that think they can save money and do this without training. Not only have Lifestyles changed our lives, but it has helped us change the lives of our tenants by improving the community that they live in.

As a 6 year member of Lifestyles Unlimited, Im continually grateful for the professionals and hard working mentors in the company. I needed quick assistance evaluating a single family property, Joey, a mentor, reviewed the property and the potential financial gain with me. The professionals and the education is excellent. Thank you, Del.

Called and said I wanted to speak to someone who could answer some questions about the preferred investor program. They said I would have to become a member and pay before they could answer my questions about the program . . . I repeated my question thinking they didn’t understand and they reaffirmed their first answer.I currently work with 2 investments groups and listen to me carefully, if any investment group ever says you need to pay or become a member before they can give you information then that is the moment you need to turn around and run.

I very rarely take the time to post negative reviews about products/services. But in this case, I feel obliged to do so in order to warn others before they put down $10,000 of their hard-earned money.I have been a Preferred Investor Group(PIG) member in San Antonio for a little bit over a year or so and have purchased 2 houses thru Lifestyles.I choose to post with a psedo identity as it is not pragmatic to criticize a organization after paying a hefty sum in advance (which effectively precludes you from using services from other organizations).I disagree with some of you who may claim that some of the below points are trivial. When you are being charged $10,000 a year, the service/product provided has to be top notch. I have paid less than $10k a year to otherorganizations (not RE orgs) and have received far superior services/customer service.- Responses via email or phone from the realtors at LS is not of top notch quality. I have had to email/phone/leave voicemails repeatedly to get traction on deals that i have been interested in.There have been numerous occasions when even a courtesy response was not provided to let me know that another member was already working on a house or the house was already under contract(and no, the Quest tool still indicated that the house was available for members).It seems like the organization does not feel the need to send even a courtesy response if a property is no longer available for LS members .Just ignoring a query is an unacceptable business practice in my book. The exception to this experience has been Dennis M. He has been prompt and courteous andgoes the extra mile.- Properties on the MLS are tagged by the realtors within LS. And a property can be tagged by only one realtor. And once a property has been tagged, you HAVE to work with the realtor who tagged it and not with any other realtorwithin LS. This shifts incentive for the realtors within LS from providing good service and bagging repeat business to just be aggressive in tagging properties.This is in stark contrast to the vendors who are not allowed to tag properties and thus always have an incentive to provide good service and gain repeat business.Remember you have already paid $10k, so you are going to work with the realtors within LS rather than external realtors.- LS uses a catch phrase Real Estate is Easy, People are difficult implying that RE is easy, you just need to be able to deal with various temperaments of various people involved in the sealing of a deal. Yet [b]the San Antonio office has only 1 Single Family Mentor, Jim V.[b] If for any reason, you and him are not on the same wavelenth, you can be rest assured, you will have to really really go the extra mile to ensure all the is are dotted and ts are crossed during the various phases of a deal. He does not have any incentive to proactively ensure your deal is successful. $10k/year definitely should earn you multiple mentors(with a reasonable level of pro-activeness to return phone calls/emails and ensure that you are not forgetting to dot the is and cross the ts that you are unaware of) to work with.He has said that he has been extremely busy. Well, if you are too busy to respond to queries of people actively working on a deal, you need to stop advertising your services and taking peoples hard earned $$$s till you hire more resources.

Great information and a great speaker.I will love to see more of this type of informational get tougher at Lifestyles.Thanks for putting it together.Pedro Rivera
