There are a lot of brands out there that are interested in teaching you the basics of real estate investing.
For new investors, being able to get started the right way and with proven techniques to ensure they’re making the most of their investing, this can actually be easier said than done.
Enter Lifestyles Unlimited, founded by Del Walmsley and our very own AstroFlipping, founded by yours truly.
In this 3rd part of our series, we look at the differences between Lifestyles Unlimited and AstroFlipping and which program is right for you in 2022.
What is Lifestyles Unlimited?
Founded in 1990 by Texas native Del Walmsley, Lifestyles Unlimited is an education and mentorship group that teaches real estate investing.
They focus on:
Locating
Evaluating
Negotiating
Financing
Closing
Rehabbing
Leasing
Managing properties
If the program sounds a bit familiar, you may have heard their weekly radio show, which also focuses on real estate investing.
What is AstroFlipping?
Founded in 2018, AstroFlipping is also a real estate education mentorship that teaches investors how to get started in real estate investing.
We do more than practice real estate investing, we’re actively redefining it by creating a streamlined wholesaling business that flips properties consistently.
What’s the Difference Between Lifestyles Unlimited and AstroFlipping?
On the surface, there are a lot of similarities between what Lifestyles Unlimited is doing and what we’re doing at AstroFlipping.
However, there are a few key differences.
Above all, AstroFlipping has a focus on helping you start or scale a wholesaling business, where Lifestyles Unlimited is more open, but tends to cater to fix and flippers.
Another difference is location.
Both Astro and Lifestyles Unlimited have investor members all over the country, however the latter seems to be far more beneficial to those living in the state of Texas.
And that makes sense, as the company was founded there and many of their members are located there. There are a lot of in person meet ups and events that happen within their Houston location, so if you’re outside of that metro areas, you might be missing out.
I live in Phoenix and I do have an office there, however I also tend to travel to other areas, making sure that I can arrange to meet the different Astro members in those areas.
I also actively encourage our community to #squadup with others in their area, so that they have connections that are local.
Which Program Should I Choose?
This is a pretty close one, as both of these programs teach you the basics of investing in real estate.
Now, obviously because you’re on the Astro website, I want you to check out our course for yourself.
I wholeheartedly believe that you’ll get the most bang for your buck with us… along with a growing community that’s focused on supporting and guiding other members.
Lifestyles Unlimited has focused classes that are taught by Del and other investors and if you’re lucky to attend one live, you do get a ton of information that furthers your investing knowledge.
Keep in mind that Lifestyles Unlimited is about getting you started in real estate investing, which is great, but one con experienced investors have is a lack of furthering their business ventures.
With Astro, I know what it’s like to be a beginner with investing. And I know what it’s like to start ramping up, so we’re fitted for both new and seasoned wholesalers.
Obviously, I’m a bit biased, but I think Astro is the program you’re looking for.
