1. Our Mission Statement The Mission Statement of the University is:  To Change the Way Everyone (Not Just the Rich) Saves and Invests for Retirement.   You will become part of something great where you can positively change the financial future of everyone you meet regardless of income or assets.  You will implement the retirement, investment, financial and/or legacy plan created by the Certified Real Estate IRA Advisors™
2. A Better Designation When Jeff Sibel CFP, the founder of the Real Estate IRA University was a Realtor, he once had the GRI, CRS, ABR and ePRO designations. These designations only taught theory, provide little application and no practical information on how to build a real estate practice. Similar to when you first took the state real estate licensing examination, you learned a lot of real estate law and theory but the licensing exam did not prepare you to list and sell real estate. This is what makes our designation so revolutionary.The Certified Real Estate IRA Specialist™ designation is very different. We will teach you how and why everyone should be buying and selling investment real estate inside and outside of Real Estate IRAs, 401Ks and other retirement plans. After you have complete home study Certified Real Estate IRA Specialist™ course, you will be ready to implement a comprehensive real estate based retirement and wealth building plan.After you complete the course, we will then provide you with a dedicated web site, webinars, coaching, mailers, postcards, seminar presentation materials and much, much more. You will learn the theory, but most importantly, you will learn the practical application of how and why you should build a Real Estate IRA niche practice. You will dominate what used to be your competition. But, most importantly, you will become passionate about helping everyone (not just the rich) change the way they save and invest for retirement.
3. GRIU™   Graduate Real Estate IRA University™ Once you become a Certified Real Estate IRA Specialist™, you can use the GRIU™ designation from the Real Estate IRA University™.
4. Deeper Career and Client Satisfaction When your clients succeed, you succeed.  This is a core belief of the Real Estate IRA University™.  We have created a unique and highly successful business model that rewards you for implementing the retirement, investment, financial and/or legacy planning needs of your clients.
5. Income from Portfolio Investors You will be able to explain to your clients that since they are using real estate to fund their retirement income needs, they will have predictable monthly income and should never need to cannibalize their principal to pay their bills in retirement.  Since they are not living off of the principal, they should never need to worry about outliving their money.  They will be able to let their principal grow and leave a financial legacy for family and favorite charities.  Stock investors do not have this luxury, if they live too long, they will outlive their money.
6. Earn $50,000 to $250,000 More Income. Not everyone you know wants or needs to buy or sell a personal residence, but everyone you know wants to learn how to retire early with less money invested and stay happily retired.  The average household needs $50,000 in annual retirement income.  That should be about $750,000 in real estate sales per client.  At a 3% commission rate, you could earn about $22,500 from each client.  If you advise 12 families a year on a more practical why to retire and they invest in $750,000 worth of real estate, then you should earn approximately $270,000 in gross annual commission income.
7. Market Niche You can show your clients how and why they should change from investing most of their money in the stocks to investing primarily in real estate.  You can show them how to build a highly achievable and date specific retirement plan using real estate as a core investment holding that requires less money invested.  As a Certified Real Estate IRA Specialist™, you have no competition.   Very few real estate agents even know what a Real Estate IRA is.  Let alone can discuss with depth of knowledge and conviction the retirement planning benefits of Real Estate IRAs, Real Estate 401Ks and the legacy planning benefits of Real Estate IRAs and Roth Real Estate IRAs.
8. Marketing Assistance You will learn how to market your new Real Estate Niche Practice with proven methods and results.  You will receive a “Specialist Quick Start Kit” (which includes ideas on mail outs, postcards, brochures, seminars and seminar scripts) so you can immediately start building a thriving niche real estate investment practice.
9. Learn how and why everyone should buy, sell and lease real estate inside a Real Estate IRA/401K and Roth Real Estate IRA/401K.
10. 3-Step Plan Called I.R.A Certified Real Estate IRA Specialists do not give investment advice.  Only the Certified Real Estate IRA Advisor™ provides investment advice.  You only focus on:  Identify, Refer and Act (Implement) or IRA.

• Identify – The Specialist will Identify clients who are interested in learning how to retire early with less money invested.  They accomplish this by offering their clients a Complimentary Consultation or one of Jeff Sibel CFP’s books.  Once they have identified the need, they move to step 2.
• Refer – When the client wants to schedule a Complimentary Consultation, the Specialist refers the client to a Certified Real Estate IRA Advisor™.  You will have the client read chapter one and two of Jeff Sibel CFP’s book entitled, The Real Estate IRA Retirement Planning Guide.  You then ask the client to fill out the appropriate retirement date specific worksheet and fax it to the Certified Real Estate IRA Advisor™ that is part of your Real Estate IRA Dream Team.
• Act – The Certified Real Estate IRA Advisor™ will conduct a short Complimentary Consultation to see if the client is on track to achieve their retirement, investment, financial and/or legacy planning goals.  If they are not on track, they can include basic suggestions and recommendations that include alternative investments like real estate.  The client will most likely need an engagement to create a detailed plan to accomplish their goals.  You will Act on or implement that plan for your client.
