ACRE is not a system per se but guidelines how to buy, where to buy, where not, how to get financing and how to impeccably manage once owned.
Think of it as an incubator.
Tools are there but a poor carpenter can still mess up a project with the same tools compared to a craftsman. As such the tools matter but the skillful application of it matters even more. You also get free networking and can purchase direct mentor support if this is what you want. It also teaches how to raise money for joint ventures if you chose to go there.
But you must apply it all - in a measured or a furious pace - so attending a few ACRE events and a year or two of monthly REIN meetings is suggested until it all sinks in. Buying and then impeccably managing it is where you will learn the most. $s spent on REIN education is a great investment of applied into assets acquired but probably too high of used as mere edutainment.
Apply the skills and the toolbox, then refine, improve and systemize.
Worth the investment and the best in Canada IF you are serious about building wealth and buying a few or a few dozen or a few hundred properties (like I did in the end and still do - quite unintended from one o started over 15 years ago - hence the title of chapter 1 in my book is called " Man plans and God laughs") as the end of the journey is unknown and while up to you really only to a certain degree up to you. Everyone is different and every person is willing to share five success stories and three "opps" lessons that you can avoid as some lessons learned are costly in assets worth hundreds of thousands or often millions of dollars. Once you have done two or three deals you will get the hang of it and become more of a craftsman and will enjoy the continued learning, sharing and networking.
Enjoy the ride !
