When I received my retirement check, I learned that if I died, my wife wouldn’t get access to those funds! I literally couldn’t sleep at night knowing this. We got busy and searched on-line for solutions, and my wife discovered Real Wealth Network. After doing some due diligence, we went to some of their events. We met the property providers and it all looked good, so we purchased some of the rentals. Danelle: We followed the plan we developed with their investment counselors, and sure enough, I was able to accelerate the growth of my own retirement. In fact, a month ago I was actually able to retire before Wayne! This has freed up my time so that now I can focus on everything that’s important to us.

They make their education very affordable – yet the quality is far better than those $20,000 bootcamps!

We decided to sell that home for investment groups. I had done some – even at a loss - at the worst possible investing on my own and made some time, but we still ended up with a chunk of money - about a $100,000. That money helped us buy four homes in Ohio. It went so well that we bought two more the next year.
