My name is Jessica Orchard and I attended the Life...

My name is Jessica Orchard and I attended the Lifetime Wealth Academy (LWA) event in Waterloo, Ontario. I am a recent graduate from a post-grad program and have had an interest in real estate for many years. I tried to convince my dad to buy my student house so I could be the "landlord" and he could profit from the investment...that never happened and both my parents feel it is too late for them to profit from real estate investing. Scott convinced me that it's never too late if you know how to do it right!
I'm an avid watcher of Income Property with Scott as the host. Attending his speaking event was incredible! He shared a lot of very valuable information, but most of all he helped me see that I have to continue pursuing this dream if I am truly passionate about it. I like that he told us about the LWA approach being: information-->education-->implementation. I got the information I needed from Scott at the event, I've got a friend attending the LWA event in Mississauga soon and I hope he'll want to join me at the 3-day LWA workshop. (I haven't signed up yet..not sure if I can afford it right now, but it did sound worthwhile).
Overall, I wasn't sure what to expect from the event or if Scott would really speak for very long. An MC introduced him and then he spoke the rest of the 2 hours. He's an amazing public speaker and the time flew by! My time was well spent and I would recommend that people go to a LWA event to hear Scott speak.
When I finally do get into real estate investing, I'll write to LWA and Scott to thank them for their inspiration and guidance.
The only thing I can say that I didn't like was that people could sign up for the 3-day workshop in the same room that Scott was speaking in. We took a short break and people were asking questions to the representatives about the workshop, but when Scott resumed talking other guests were still asking questions so the room wasn't quiet. If the registration desks were outside the doors, it would still be convenient for people to sign up and they could ask questions without disturbing others at the event.
