-Shania Harry
My wife and I have gone to many different meetups pertaining to this field but always leave disappointed as we did not learn anything new though there was plenty of hype of new information then hit you with a price tag later. With LIREIA and the event we attended last night, for the first time, both my wife and I felt as we learned something. Not only did we learn but we were with other like minded individuals that want to succeed and do things the right way. Melissa and her team are full of positive energy and you will from the start feel the passion they have when they help and educate you and even give you advise based on their experiences. I highly recommend and challenge those that want to bring their own business to the next level to attend the next meetup and see for yourself on how it will help you grow

The BRRRR training far exceeded my educational goal for today. There was an active and informative group of students attending this class, the instructor was excellent and I look forward to joining with them as a new LIREIA Member soon.
-Robert Rousseau
Prior to joining the LIREIA, I very sadly & regrettably paid $30,000 for a national R.E. investment program that promised much and delivered absolutely nothing!!! For a fraction of the cost, I joined the LIREIA approximately 2 years ago and have had some amazing success. I can't express enough the value of the education I have received as a LIREIA member! I would highly recommend this organization to anyone who is serious about investing in real estate. This is a great place to interact and network with like-minded people who will be instrumental in encouraging you in achieving your R.E. investment goals!

LIREIA is a phenomenal organization.

Melissa shows to be a lead by example mentor and there are people that I met who are already genuinely benefiting from the mentor program.

LIREIA has a genuine way of making everyone feel welcome, from the investors just beginning to the very experienced well established investor. Melissa has created an environment where members are able to learn together, invest together, grow together, and succeed together. I am excited to have joined this association where I don't feel like just a student, but also a teammate. The sincere, humble, and inviting ambiance is unparalleled by any professional organization have I been part of in the past. I look forward to continuing earning, learning, and investing as part of this group.

Thanks to Melissa Shea for her support and guidance, I have taken the necessary action steps to achieve great success in such a short period of time that I didn’t think was possible. The whole experience has been terrific for me and I highly recommend others to join us going forward.
