WHY SPONSORSHIP MARKETING IS A WINWIN LAURA ALAMERY
Laura’s Story…
I was born and raised in beautiful Vicenza, Italy – only 40 miles from lovely Venice on the
Adriatic Sea. I used to hang out at the top of this hill as a teenager, where I could see the
whole city stretched out before me.

In 1985 I relocated to United States, moving to Honolulu in 1987 where I became a college student at Hawaii Pacific
University; just 4 miles from the beaches of Waikiki. I began developing a keen interest in real estate, so I started reading
everything I could find – watching late night infomercials and buying courses by Dave Del Dotto, Robert Allen and Carlton
Sheets.
My Real Estate Career Begins
That same year I became a real estate agent, to help pay for my college studies. I joined Dolman and Associates in
Honolulu, and right away I was inspired by some of the top agents on the island. I began following their lead and in my first
year in the industry, I became a multimillion dollar producer!
In 1991, I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and moved to Missouri that same year. Once on
‘the mainland,’ my real estate career really took off. I started to purchase properties with no money down, using creative
financing.
I continued my education by earning an MBA in Finance, still working parttime in real estate. Then I began a new career as
an assistant controller in metal commodities, planning to climb the corporate ladder and keep real estate as a side business.
From PartTime to FullTime
By the mid1990s I had already acquired a sizable portfolio (over 20 properties) consisting mostly of multifamilies for rental
income – and I was barely 30 years old! I was making more money in parttime real estate (less than 10 hours a week) than
my fulltime corporate job, so in 1996 I decided to flip the switch and devote myself entirely to real estate. Once I was able to
immerse myself fulltime into real estate investing, my career skyrocketed.
In 1997, I began sharing my knowledge of real estate investing, proven strategies and creative financing techniques by
hosting real estate seminars. And, given the widespread use of the Internet, I decided to also share my practical knowledge
and experience as well via online mentoring and coaching. In 2010, I opened The REI Lab, Inc. – the culmination of various
companies I had started and closed in the past.
The Next Chapter Unfolds
With a love for laid back lifestyle and great weather (I really missed being near the water), I decided to relocate once more in
May of 2015. This time the move was to Broward County, Florida; midpoint between Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Laura

The MiamiDade area is full of opportunities, and 59% of the real estate transactions here in 2016 were cash – more than
twice the national average according to the National Association of Realtors!
