Our instructor was very informative and helpful

Fereydoon knows his stuff, however it felt like there needed to be an assistant or two for those who struggled with the material and to handle things like the handouts and check in. It would have been better if there was a class for those who didn’t get the underwriting certification beforehand.

Lots of info.

A lot of useful information and insight learned a lot of information

Overall, the event itself was magnificent. The panels, lectures, presenters, Joel and yourself, and the rest of the REM staff were great and offered meaningful information to prospective and experienced investors alike. Likewise, the exhibitors were informative and helped clarify their potential role in many important areas. Secondly, the networking opportunity was absolutely one of the key benefits of this event and was a highlight for me. I personally was able to spend quality time in the evenings with at least two dozen experienced investors, many with sizable capital of their own to invest in projects. It was like hanging out with the crème de la crème in multi-family and commercial real estate. Also, the sense of family of everyone that attended made it easy to open up and integrate into the crowd. Even my daughter who is less outgoing than I felt a greater sense of ease in socializing with the quality people that attended. But our attendance at UP2022 had its major setbacks as well, which could have been easily avoided through better organization and planning on REM's part. It was a result of the lack of proper UP2022 tagging, which caused me a great deal of inconvenience that resulted in me sitting way back in the hall Friday morning and missing out on a large part of the VIP luncheon with Dave while I ate a salad downstairs in the lobby. It also prevented me from being able to seat myself in the VIP section on Saturday morning. I approached the RE Mentor booth in great frustration, and after much explanation, was finally able to get properly tagged. I informed the woman who told me she was in charge of the tags that my daughter, due to circumstances beyond her control, wouldn't be arrived for another hour or so from the airport. She assured me she would have her tag ready for her when she arrived. After wrapping up a photo shoot with Dave early that afternoon, my daughter finally arrived, and we immediately headed to the REM booth to acquire her UP2022 tag so she would miss as little of the remaining event as possible. However, when we got there, there was no staff present and we had to hunt down someone who could help obtain my daughter's tag. We eventually found someone, but they couldn't find her tag. I even helped look for it myself among the group of remaining tags, but it was nowhere to be found. Eventually, the woman responsible for tagging addressed our need but had some trouble finding the tag herself. She ended up fabricating a new one with the proper VIP and Mentor tagging as mine, which took more time, but we were then finally off to take part in the rest of the day's event. After getting all of the tagging issues resolved, we were both looking forward to finally sitting down and immediately jumping into an informative presentation, but shortly after arriving in the hall, we were then inundated with an hour-plus sales promo with a $20,000 price tag on a training event at Harvard. As one who spent even more than that less than two months earlier to get himself and his daughter on board with RE Mentor, not to mention another $2,000 to attend UP2022, I was taken aback and quite annoyed at that juncture. It left a negative impression on my daughter as well. What we anticipated would be a peak day of the overall event had quickly become very anti-climatic. I spoke with others who traveled to Phoenix to attend UP2022, and they too conveyed similar upset about trying to get the most out of every hour of their investment into RE Mentor and the UP event only to have prime learning time being used to upsell another REM product. Like them, I didn't come all the way to Phoenix to attend a sales presentation. To conclude, at my ripe old age of seventy, time comes at a premium, (as well as money), and I DON'T LIKE WASTING IT on unnecessary, superfluous nonsense. Between the cost of the event itself plus air travel, hotel, and ground transportation costs and my daughter's time off from her demanding job, Nina and I committed a lot toward making the most of this event, but unfortunately, we lost over a half day in counterproductive activity that dampened our momentum. Perhaps I should have shared this with Jeannie, our mentor, on Wednesday, but I didn't want to bother her with any of this and instead chose to use this forum for voicing these major concerns. The woman responsible for the UP2022 tags offered to provide a partial refund for all the problems the tags created, which was thoughtful of her, but I'm not sure if it was ever executed.

Thank you all for so much for UP2022 it was awesome. the content was great, both motivational, and educational. The Venders were great, it was nice to speak with so many professionals and see what their products are. the sound/acoustics was a big challenge there was a echo and it made it hard to understand speakers at times. As a whole we love the support and the eduction my biggest concern is killzone. I do not believe killzone is worth the amount charged, we were told and led to believe there would be brokers and deals there for the students to look at, in Tampa theat couldnt be further from what happened, WE brought the brokers and then we had to rent a car for 2 days to go out on our own. The bus tour i felt was unnecessary since we did much of that in immersion training. The amount we paid for basically 2-21/2 days in the classroom was not equal value. Had we came out of that event with a deal or at least a potential deal it would have been better. Very disappointed in Kill zone. There were students there who had not done immersion training or boot camp and had no clue what was being talked about. Can't say id recommend kill zone to others, with that being said the overall experience with REMentor is positive

The connections made were excellent. The audio was a little hard to hear even right up front. (Speakers too small for the room.) The ticket raffle was ad hoc and confusing. Getting the extra ticket was impossible since I couldn't ever get on Jermaine's busy schedule

This is such a great event to connect students with potential sponsors! I loved interspersing the breakout rooms with presentations from some of the sponsors. Some suggestions: make each breakout room a similar number of people, tighten up the time between breakouts and presentations- seemed like wasted time when random people started bantering in the main room, ensure that all students get in a breakout room with all sponsors, ensure there is a sponsor in every room the full time both days, advise ahead of time how much time we'll have in the breakout room
