So, for us the rationale just made sense, there is no fear at that point. We're hitting the books and podcasts endlessly, trying to figure out the next step. We were nervous but we don't really have that fear. I recommend getting educated to be able to face that.    [20:43] People have to know, trust, and like you. They have to understand what you are doing. When people are confused, and they don't understand what you are telling them, they're gonna say no every time.  [22:45] We made a list of family and friends, and extended network who have available funds or have liquid investments who can potentially invest with us. We reach out to them, not asking for money because when you ask someone for money the first thing they say is no, but just to talk about what we are doing. A lot of times we will just ask if they know anybody interested to invest in real estate, and people start to think about that.    SUMMARY OF BUSINESS:Valkere Investment Group is a Real estate investment group providing reliable and productive investment opportunities through a private lender and equity investment in multi-family properties.   ABOUT THE WESTSIDE INVESTORS NETWORK   The Westside Investors Network is your community for investing knowledge for growth.

In this episode of The Real ResQ, we are joined by Ashton Levarek, USCG RS 533 and Air Force PJ.  Ashton talks about his first rescue as a USCG Rescue Swimmer, which was an overdue vessel where a boat was stuck in the mud and slinging a shotgun over the shoulder.  He talks about getting called out for a patient that was hit in the face by a crowbar. He and his crew were launched out for a helicopter crash where they found some of the survivors floating after the crash.  Next we transition into his career as an Air Force PJ.  He talks about responding to a helicopter crash that happened as they were going into battle.  How the habit of being calm and taking a minute “not to run to your death” stuck with him for future deployments. We end by talking about a good mindset to maintain for everyday life and what he is doing with his current business.  Enjoy!   https://therealresq.com/home https://www.facebook.com/therealresq https://www.instagram.com/therealresq   Thank you for sponsoring this episode of The Real ResQ; Breeze-Eastern, https://www.breeze-eastern.com/ Axnes https://www.axnes.com/ Life Saving Systems Corporation https://lifesavingsystems.com/ SR3 Rescue Concepts, https://sr3rescueconcepts.com/ Valkere Investment Group https://www.valkeregroup.com/
