STEPHANIE MORRIS "Honestly, without the assistance of Dr. Teresa R. Martin, we would NOT have purchased our first investment property." State the name of your company & description Bwise Investments LLC is a company that invests in single family homes as a short-term buy and hold strategy. We also assist distressed home owners with wise solutions by researching the best options for their property. Our goal is to educate our clients and to leave them feeling that they have received the best service and made the best decision possible. What problems were you facing before joining REIA NYC / WISE Our journey to real estate began with a free one night session that showed how real estate investing could change our future. After five years of purchasing workshops, conferences, and coaching packages, we realized that we needed personal help. We had a lot of information but no one to actually help us put it to practical use. Yes, there were conference calls and coaching but from a distance with the person not actually aware of what is happening in our New York City marketplace. What we did that solve those problems We found the REIA NYC group in the Spring of 2010 and it was a dream come true. Finally we had someone who was knowledgeable in the practices of real estate in NYC! Dr. Teresa R. Martin and her REIA NYC Team provided great education, accountability and partnerships. Results you are seeing after using our membership / product / service In 2013 REIA NYC / WISE partnered with an amazing company, Strongbrook REIC that offered a team of experts that provided education as well as done-for-you facilitated real estate assistance which walks our investors through the entire home buying process.
