Which means I had a partner who I brought in to my business, and we put renters in foreclosures after we rehab these properties. We provided a turnkey system.<br> At some point in my investing career, I met another gentleman who owned and ran a real estate training company. That relationship was made, and I and my partner were teaching a three-day cash flow class. We were providing properties for students, for new investors.<br> A lot of people don’t know until you read my book or get to know me, I was a product of the real estate training company. I was a student, which had actually saved me in a really tough financial time. I worked really hard for about 10 years, pulling myself out of millions of dollars in debt and paying off everything, then creating some massive wealth.<br> <br> Integrity Matters<br> In this process, I built two really close friendships. One, with my business partner and his wife and then the owner of this training company who I had kind of had a joint venture agreement with. I got to tell you man, these two guys were two of my closest friends.<br> We were having a ball doing this, and we were providing a great product for these students. We were having wild success.<br> <br> A key to your business is this: integrity is longevity. <br> <br> I will tell you that possibly on the training side of that company, things wouldn’t be done how they should have been done. The company started to struggle, the company started to have some bad times.<br> Charlie Hoehn: What do you mean by bad times?<br> Nick Vertucci: Well, what I mean by that is, because their brand wasn’t protected and their name wasn’t protected, business started going down significantly. Less people were showing up to the training, less revenue was being brought into the company, and he was losing money.<br> I’ve been there before too in different businesses, so I understand that. You know, there’s a tough road ahead of him. But to be honest with you, he created himself because of ego and pride and a lot of other things.<br> But the one good thing about that movement was my partner and I’s cash flow training and the properties that we were selling to the students.<br> It was very profitable. It was a win/win for the student and it was a win/win for us.
