The problem is that if you're like the vast majority of people you've thought about investing in real estate but the lack of time, experience and know-how has stopped you - until now!

You can now leverage your money and our time, experience and know-how to create and hold wealth in what is one of the best real estate markets in the world. We use proven investment systems to buy the right types of properties in the right place at the right times. We rely on sound, proven fundamentals and not unreliable emotions when we chose properties -the kinds of fundamentals that can only be developed through hard work and experience.

Using sound underlying economic fundamentals and removing the emotions out of our decision making process, we can clearly take advantage of the really great investments.

Our approach to real estate investing is unique in the industry. Our key to success in real estate is based on the 3 pillars of Don R. Campbell's Real Estate Investment Network.

1. Use a proven system - a system responsible for more than $1,600,000,000 in Canadian real estate investments.
2. Establish key relationships - we have built our Power Team of realtors, mortgage brokers, lawyers, property managers, investors and all the key players required to run a successful investment company.
3. Action - we have been actively investing in real estate in the Canadian market working primarily with investors like you.

Having invested in all types of real estate we have learned that the best long-term wealth creation method is to buy and hold properties long term. We specialize in acquisition, value-added and management of single and multi-unit dwellings.

We target undervalued, revenue generating properties, foreclosures and multi-unit dwellings. By observing market trends and by capitalizing on time sensitive, unique opportunities we create high returns for our investors.

We offer highly lucrative joint venture relationships with our investors so that they can profit from the booming real estate market. We offer a proven track record, proven results and proven management knowledge based on real assets with regular cash-flow and equity growth.

Our vision is to create financial freedom for our investors through well-selected real estate investments.

Trust and integrity are important to us and we recognize that every relationship is unique and different. You are entitled to full disclosure before every investment and encouraged to seek independent legal and accounting advice. You will also have complete access to our books during every joint venture relationship.

You get both your money and us working for you. We do all the work - find the right properties, rent them out, manage them, collect the money - even fix the toilets late at night. Your only concern will be to decide how you would like to get your money. Will that be direct deposit or cheque?

Real estate has many advantages over other types of investments. There are seven main reasons why any sophisticated investor would have real estate as part of his/her investment portfolio:

1. Leveragability - Real Estate is a "hard asset" which makes financing easy. This means that you, the Investor, can benefit from leverage and substantially increase your ROI. Based on a typical 25% down payment, the return dramatically increases as compared to a non-leveraged instrument such as stocks or mutual funds. You may wish to look to the next section for an illustration of the leveraging effect.
2. Positive Cash Flow - Real Estate is a cash generating investment particularly in the long term. This allows you to have someone else pay off the mortgage, taxes, and maintenance. After all expenses are paid the investment provides cash flow that keep up with inflation. This cash flow can be used for supplemental retirement income.
3. Principal Reduction - As the tenants pay rent, they cover the mortgage payments, taxes, and utilities. They also help to pay off a portion of the principal on the mortgage. Over 25 years, this will end up paying off the entire mortgage and the owner is left with a property free and clear of a mortgage. When we invest in Real Estate, we typically have a 1st mortgage which is principal and interest payments. With a 25 yr 5.5%, 75% mortgage, the average principal reduction will be approximately 2% of the original mortgage per year for the first 5 years. That's additional "Cash in Hand" upon sale or refinancing.
4. Capital Appreciation - Through the selection of the correct property, in the right town, in the right area, one can begin to increase the appreciation above the market trends. Include additional activities such as value added enhancements, creative marketing, and other efforts, a sophisticated investor can drastically force the appreciation of a property. This is a unique feature of investing in real estate that other investment vehicles do not offer and, as in many cases, is the secret to the greatest profits.
5. Wealth Creation - Real Estate values have increased significantly over the last 25 years and have proven to be a powerful method of creating wealth over time. While values are increasing, debt is being reduced. Equity increases through both processes to increase your wealth.
6. Combat Inflation - In times of inflation, when purchasing power is declining, individuals as well as investors seek 'hard' or 'real' assets to maintain wealth. Real Estate is an excellent vehicle to hedge against inflation as its value increases at least as much as (and historically more than) the rate of inflation.
7. Diversification - As part of any portfolio, real estate allows you to reduce the risk by holding real assets. You can also diversify by holding real estate in different areas that vary by economic class. Finally, within one city, you can purchase multiple buildings or different building types to diversify within the same asset class.

We are currently experiencing booming real estate statistics (increasing new home starts, increasing resale home values and decreasing vacancy rates) and you can profit from the current Alberta Real Estate Boom.

You've heard it said that time is money and timing is critical in any investment. The current real estate market is hot and it will continue to be hot. But you need to get in now to take advantage of the power of compounding. Compounding is not only the ability to make money with your money but also to make money on the appreciation of the total real estate value. This will bring you dramatically higher returns in a matter of only a few years - and in some markets, that is how long it is expected to last - so you need to act now.

When it comes to location, management and selection - there are certain provinces and cities that are better than others. Alberta is the number one hot spot in all of North America right now, and within the province, certain cities are destined to succeed while others are risky investments. We know these markets and can guide you into wise choices.

In order to get the Schneider Group Wealth-Builder Program^TM working for you, there are seven areas that a sophisticated investor can participate within the arena of real estate investing and enhance their portfolio:

1. Joint venture partnerships. By working together, we can help you find the most effective property for your investment needs. We will conduct market research, locate the property, manage the property, and finally, monitor the exit strategy. Our clients see Joint Venturing as a successful alternative to managing real estate investing. The Joint Venture can be focused on long term capital appreciation (the source of true real estate riches), quick flip capital appreciation (more risky and requires additional time to locate the exact project), and finally Cash Flow (where there is consistent Cash Flow with limited capital appreciation.)
2. RRSP 2nd Mortgages. In this volatile and unpredictable equity market where the exchanges have massive daily shifts, earn between 9 - 12 % return on your RRSPs. Have your RRSPs secured on title and learn how to attract RRSP secondary financing for your own property. Our clients are seeing in some cases upwards of 12% return over 5 years on their RRSPs. Can your current fund manager say that? Moreover, what security do you have on your investment? Through investing in 2nd mortgages, you have the security and the fixed return you need to truly grow your RRSPs.
3. Bridge Financing. Our strategy is one of ethical and responsible investing. As such, we require funding during the time in which we place the RRSP 2nd Mortgage on the property. Since we are completely transparent to the primary lenders when working on Flip properties, we also use Bridge Financing to bring the Loan to Value up to around 90%. The use of the Bridge Financing funds may range between 60 -120 days. It is a wonderful way to consistently play in the real estate market while remaining fairly liquid. We pay between 14 - 16% for these funds and there are incentives for us to liquidate your funds quickly. If you have a Line Of Credit or GICs, this is a great way to generate a strong liquid return. It's also a wonderful introduction to investing in Real Estate. Some of our clients make funds available for bridge financing while waiting for the right time to get involved in a long term project.
4. Big Deals. For those that have played the Cashflow 101 and 202 games by the Rich Dad organization will truly understand this analogy. A Big Deal is an opportunity in which we work with several partners syndicating funds to purchase a larger property or a development project. We have been working diligently to identify the key action takers in several areas of real estate investing. One key area is the benefit of large building purchases and condo conversions. These projects are very lucrative and begin to expose you to the true power of Real Estate investing. For the average person, these deals are too large and are in some cases, more risky but, working with the leaders, risk is reduced. We are continuously exposed to wonderful deals. In this game, deal flow is key!
5. Referrals. For someone to retire on Cash Flow alone, it will require approximately $300,000 - $400,000 of capital investment if done ethically. Looking at a 10% return on investments, this is $30,000 - $40,000 of annual return. The average person can not dedicate $300,000 to invest in real estate. Through the powers of networks, you do know people who have a combined investment capital of well over $1,000,000. We would like to provide an opportunity for you to tap into that capital through offering a referral program. If you are a current client with us or have completed a project, we offer an initial 10% equity ownership in any deal that is introduced to us. If you do not have any capital to start, but would like to just focus on introduction and creating a more lasting partnership, we can evaluate the opportunity on a case by case basis.
6. Real Estate Portfolio Management. A few of our clients are truly focused individuals who have dedicated the next few years to their passion or career. As such, they have no time to dedicate to investing in real estate. They have said to us, "can you just tell me what to do and then do it for me." We won't go that far to tell them what to do but, we will make recommendations and help them maximize their opportunities. Ultimately, the final decision will be based on their review of the documents, advice from legal and financial advisors and lastly, their personal direction to meet their plan. For these clients, we have a complete program including RRSP 2nd mortgage lending, Joint Venture opportunities, and leveraging short term opportunities and ultimately, to speak to all of their associates about real estate. You may ask how this differs from the above individual opportunities. It's simple, these clients know they can trust us and have made the long term commitment to partner with us and help us grow to better serve their needs. We have worked together to set out a 10 year plan, identified key actions that need to be taken, and what the basic steps are that will get these clients to where they want to go. This, all while they are 100% focused on their passion or careers.
7. Partners Program. While many people we work with choose to remain passive, others begin to venture out on their own. Our philosophy is one of a collaboration and an attitude that together, we can accomplish more. The Partners Program, an extension of our referral program, is just that. A group of people who are of the highest caliber, people who serve first, and are willing to do what ever it takes to get ahead are hand selected to work with us. This is not for everyone and not something that we openly promote. Rather, the right people show up at the right time. Some of our partners are individuals who will remain nameless and want to build a real estate business with out being in the spot light. They work with us and pass on their leads. Together we can accomplish more!

We are looking forward to creating success for you and helping you to increase your family's wealth while fulfilling your goals. You goals are attained by taking small, incremental action steps each and every day. We look forward to walking with you along your journey.

Sincerely,

Jeff Schneider
Director and Managing Partner
