From the desk of Steve Martel
December 14th, 2015
Ottawa Ontario
This is my last letter of the year,
and the most important letter I’ve
ever written.
I’m not writing to you today to talk
about a real estate market update, or
the next marketing idea. Nor am I
writing about the latest and greatest asset to acquire or the
next big business idea for 2016…
I have no interest in addressing anything that has to do with
Trudeau and his politics and same goes with Trump. No refugee
talks or opinions, no terrorist attacks, I’m not even here to
talk about money or financial freedom.
You can find all of that stuff on my new website.
I’m here today to talk about something much, MUCH bigger.
Something so big, that it’s probably never crossed your mind,
and if it did, the sheer “grandiosity” of it all would likely
just overwhelm you – like it did to me when it first crossed my
mind a few years ago.
I’m writing to you today about 3 really important points:
1. I want to have a heart to heart with you about my personal
life – specifically, a conversation I had with my son Jake
that you’ll greatly benefit from.
2. For the first time EVER, I’m going to reveal to you how I
built my credibility from zero to hero and became one of
the world’s highest paid advisors with nothing but balls
and a little creativity.
3. Lastly, I’ll share how you can take part in the biggest
giveaway in entrepreneurial history and realize your goals
so you live your dreams… absolutely free of charge.
STOP NOW, if you don’t have a clear, uninterrupted reading
space for the next 20 minutes… and schedule yourself a good 20-
30 minutes in the next 12 hours. This is by far, one of the
most important things you’ll ever read for yourself, and your
children.
Having faced death on 3 different occasions, the number one
priority that I have utmost respect for is time. And before you
read this entire letter, I want to make sure you understand, I
respect your time and won’t ever waste it.
WARNING: If you’re weak-willed (in which case I don’t know why
you’d even open my emails since I’m known for my straight, no
BS bluntness that doesn’t waste anyone’s time – cause there
are just too many “yes” people out there), then stop reading
now!
Or, if you’re complacent with your life… Someone who’s
“accepted” your destiny and decided to “coast” through life,
like 98% of North America’s population… Or, if you have no
interest in growing your income, don’t believe in passive
income, don’t believe in financial freedom, or you’re satisfied
where you are right now and believe the government will ‘take
care of you’ in the future (keep dreaming)… Please, don’t waste
your time reading any further.
This letter is only intended for people like me.
If you want to take control of your own life, take
accountability for your future, and are ready to work as hard
as it takes for a short amount of time to reap sustainable
rewards and leave a lasting legacy behind for your family and
the world to remember you by, then this will be the most
exciting and important message you’ve ever read.
I’ve found that the most extremely successful people all share
one strong motivator that fuels a burning passion within to
take on such a bold approach to life. I call this the “WHY” we
work so freaking dang hard in our beginnings and never, ever
give up.
For me, this is my “WHY”:
(I mean just look at those faces)
Oh… and if you’re one of those dream-stealing, time sucking
vampire saboteurs who create a toxic environment whenever you
open your mouth to further your temporary need for stardom…
Please get off my list now!
Successful people know one vital secret. “If you lie down with
mongrel dogs, even for a short nap, you wake up with fleas –
and they ride with you wherever you go.”
So to the “haters” who’ve tried to sabotage me over the years,
who’ve tried to steal my creations, vision and dreams and pass
them off as their own, or spread lies about me while I took an
amazing two years off - I want to thank you.
You sincerely helped me get rid of my own fleas, and forced me
to realize who I truly want to surround myself with. Some
people will always be followers and never learn to think for
themselves. And I never would have realized that without you.
So I think I’ve done a good job here to repel the fools with
nothing better to do than spread rumors, and gossip about
others’ misfortunes… But hey, here we are right now, and I’m
still enjoying a 7-figure income and making a positive impact
on peoples lives – and never been happier.
Heck, who else has mentored students who have bought and sold
over $373,000,000.00 (USD) worth of real estate?
NOBODY, that’s who. (See the undisputable proof below).
NB: As you see, that USD $100 million accounts for down
payments alone! Keep in mind, that USD$ 100,000,000.00
letter is already a year old so that doesn’t even include
new acquisitions for 2015… but I think you “get” why so
many individuals seek out my real estate wealth programs
and business coaching. Put simply, my students gain
incredible results.
More on that later, for now I want to share a bit about what
I’ve been up to lately and how I got here.
A few years ago back in August 2013, my now ex-wife and I came
to the harsh realization that our marriage didn’t work anymore,
and made the painfully grueling decision to finally go our
separate ways, after years of trying to ‘work it out’.
Sometimes, being an overachiever has its downside.
We learned we were pregnant with our first son Jakob after only
being together for 6 months, when I was 21 and she was 19… (my
doctors had told me I’d never have children after fighting
cancer at 16, but hey… I HAD A BABY!!!), so even though we were
young and surprised, we made it work and I can’t express in
words how it was the most amazing, gratifying and best decision
of my life.
Anyway, today after the split about 2.5 years ago, we’ve
managed to stay good friends (yes, really!)and still work
together to raise our 3 amazing kids. We live 4 minutes apart,
share equal custody and talk almost every day about the kids to
ensure our parenting is aligned and we have a clear path of
communication. I’m considered SO “lucky” because it was an
“amicable” split (for the most part yet still expensive as
hell… lol), but that experience was one of the most challenging
times of my life – including going through bankruptcy, battling
cancer, having a heart attack and a whole host of not-so-great
experiences I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.
Until I came to a realization. That we are both infinitely
happier apart, and more importantly, our kids have never been
so happy.
Now here’s where it gets really interesting for you…
A Mind-Blowing Conversation
With My 7-Year-Old Son, Jake.
Over the last 2 years, I’ve stayed out of the public eye mainly
because I‘ve been working on one simple goal:
To not only be an amazing father for my kids, also to become
their best friend.
And if you’re wondering, yes, I accomplished my mission ;)
So back to the mind-blowing conversation with Jake… On November
6th, 2015, I was helping Jake get ready for his hockey
tournament. It was a school day and man was he ever happy to
skip and play hockey…
Jake’s game was at 11:15am, so we got to the arena around
10:30am to get all ready for the big game. Problem was that
once 11am hit, only 10 out of the 16 kids on his team had
showed up to play. He and his team were pretty disappointed.
His coach Pierre (absolutely amazing guy), gave the kids a
motivating speech to play hard and have fun even though they
were short on players.
Then Jake turns to me and asks why so few players showed up. I
explained to him that it’s hard because it’s a school day and
not every parent can take time off work. He asked why again so
I promised him we’d talk about it later since it was time to
hit the ice.
The kids played a great game. Jake’s team lost 6-3, but man did
those 10 kids hustle.
When the game ended, I took Jake to eat at Boston Pizza (one of
his favorite restaurants) for lunch until his next game at 3pm.
On our drive over, Jake asks me, “Dad, I still don’t understand
why we only had 2 lines when we always have 3. How come you
could take the day off work but the other parents couldn’t?”
I started with the after-school special “fatherly” response
that school is more important than hockey… then, I put my best
friend hat on and explained, “Daddy doesn’t need to ask for
time off, because Daddy doesn’t have a job like everybody else,
he owns real estate.”
Course, the conversation didn’t end there because now Jake
wanted to know more about what that meant and how that worked.
So I described it as plainly as possible, “Daddy owns lots and
lots of real estate that he rents out to people. Every month,
they pay me to live in my houses, I pay all the bills and I
live off of all the money that’s left over. Just like when we
go to a hotel… we need to pay to sleep there. And every month,
that’s how I make money.”
And after some more questions from Jake and more explanations
from me, he asked me what I do on the computer all the time. I
told him that that’s how I help to build those villages in
Haiti, and help other people start businesses the right way,
and help other people buy real estate too by writing articles,
creating training video’s and sharing my systems.
To which he replied, “So why do I have to go to school if I
only need to learn how to buy real estate?”
I’ll admit, it was hard not to burst out laughing and start a
rant on my personal views about school… but I managed to
restrain myself, smile and reply that school is about
education, not money.
But it got me thinking…
What age should I start teaching my kids about how to buy real
estate?
I’m already teaching them about money, entrepreneurism,
investments, morals and work ethic… so when do I start the
conversation about how to work smart and buy assets that become
passive so you get paid without doing anything?
So while we’re having lunch, I start asking Jake a few
questions to get a clear idea on his level of comprehension
about real estate. He’s a sharp kid but it seems like 7 might
still be a little early. I figured definitely within the next 3
to 5 years, he’d be ready to get started. He’d be between 10 to
12 years old at that point.
Then I started thinking about my daughters… it’ll be 5 to 8
years before Janelle is ready to learn, 6 to 9 for Jenessa and
10-13 for Ariel (who was due last Friday with my new life
partner, Crystal or we’re so excited to welcome her to this
world). Yes, you followed that right. That’s 4 kids total, 1
boy and 3 girls! God help me, I’m already anxious about those
teenage years and all the boys they think they’re going to
bring home ;p I know… I know… I’m just kidding!
So then I started to think… what if, worst case scenario, I’m
not even here in 3-13 years to teach them all these life
lessons? To teach them about business, entrepreneurship,
philanthropy, investing in real estate, marketing, advertising,
sales, managing…
What’s My Legacy?
My 7-year-old son hadn’t even known what I did for a living
before that conversation. If I was to pass tomorrow (knock on
wood), what legacy am I leaving my children?
And I’m not talking about some rich kid trust fund to blow
money on fancy toys (I’ll let them pick foundations for
donations), I’m talking about teaching them how to “fish” – for
money.
I know it’s the last thing you want to think about as a parent,
and it brings tears to my eyes as I’m writing this, but shit
happens. I’ve already had cancer, a heart attack, A-fib and now
I’m 50 pounds overweight (yes working on that as we speak, lost
19 pounds in the last 30 days! YAY!).
So I finish lunch with Jake and couldn’t get my mind off the
idea of creating a legacy for my kids. Something to educate
them, from me, on the true way to “print” money for themselves.
Here are two pictures I’ll always cherish from the day Jake
literally lit a fire under my butt to create my legacy.
(When you meet Jake, you’ll want to thank him for what you’re
getting today)
Being the crazy-minded entrepreneur I am, my mind went nutso
thinking about my legacy!
I started planning right away. I scheduled a meeting the next
day with my team to gather every single piece of intellectual
property I’ve ever created on entrepreneurship and real estate.
Every piece of content, training, events, resources, all
organized into ONE master Legacy System.
During our meeting, my head of acquisitions Bronwen, mentioned
that my first-ever event was back in December 2010. Which means
that I’m not only am I creating this legacy system for my kids,
I’m also celebrating my 5 year anniversary as The U.S. Real
Estate Wealth Expert.
So in light of all this…(drum roll please)
Announcing the Complete
Legacy Collection
But before you can grab a copy (well… the 4TB hard drive) of my
legacy system. I need to ask you…
What are you leaving behind for your loved ones?
How will you be remembered when that day comes?
What will people say about you at your funeral?
How would your eulogy sound? How would people react to it?
I know I’m a “little bit” of a control freak, to want to
“control” how my own funeral goes… but let’s face it, there
isn’t much I’ll be able to do about it unless I start acting on
it now.
My goal is to be remembered by my children as the person who
helped create who they are and secure their future with
knowledge - the person who instilled the right mindset, ethics,
integrity and knowledge to give my kids the power to live their
dreams.
I want my kids to know how to play the game of life to win. You
have situations you can control, and others you can’t. And
regardless of what comes up, you can control outcomes by being
proactive.
So let me ask you again… what is your legacy?
Because if you don’t do anything about it now, you’re letting
other people define it for you.
That’s why I’m launching my Mystery Box
giveaway today.
What’s in the box?
Put simply, your future.
And not just any future, the future you dreamt about back when
you were a kid, before you got bogged down and started to ‘just
go along to get along’. The future with the real authentic you,
no holds barred - because the future where you live your dreams
IS your one true legacy – your immortality, your legend, your
genuine self that stands the test of time. You have to fight to
make that future a reality otherwise, you’re just another
faded, dull version of wasted potential.
And I know that maybe all of this is a bit overwhelming, morbid
and “heavy”… and that’s why I want to help you create your
legacy today, by passing you my legacy.
Let me help build your legacy,
by giving you my legacy.
You’ve been wishing and praying for it. Someone to hand you
down the exact plan, road map, knowledge and step-by-step
action steps to achieve wealth. Here’s your winning lottery
ticket being handed to you on a silver platter, right now.
Whether you’re starting out as a rookie or have a couple dozen
units in your portfolio, the legacy system is your answer to
bring your life to the next level to achieve financial freedom.
I know this may sound “hokey”, but honest to god, this is the
next best thing to being born independently wealthy.
This isn’t just another “new course or training program” I’ve
created. You’re getting literally EVERYTHING I have ever
created, produced, written and published on real estate and
entrepreneurship over the last 5 years. EVERYTHING. That
includes my legendary elite coaching program content from
Bronze, Silver and Gold to the advanced Platinum and even my
exclusive Titanium program materials that range between
$15,000.00 to $150,000.00 by application only.
All yours, to use over a few days, or for the next couple of
years.
To celebrate my 5 consecutive years as the leading US Real
Estate Wealth Expert, and give my children a complete Legacy
System to achieve financial freedom, I'm making you the most
generous (and insane) offer in the history of US real estate
education, ever.

products that sell for a total
combined value of $148,797.00.
And for a limited time today, 100
people get it all for a tiny
fraction of that (I know this is
going to create havoc as I have
4,679 people on the waiting list as of Friday Dec 11th, but I
simply give away everything I’ve worked so hard at creating,
and charged $100,000 for 5 years to too many people).
But it get’s even better than that, because for some of you the

It really is that simple. But you must be one of the 100 action
takers and follow the instructions above (you’ll get an email
with instructions again).
Now, before I break down everything that’s included in the
Legacy System (literally every teaching material I’ve ever
created, a total of 4 terabytes on my hard drive - equal to
2,447 full length Hollywood movies), I want to explain exactly
what you “get” from this epic, life-changing content that most
people don’t realize.
In a nutshell, you “get” me… my hard-won wisdom, my tools, my
systems and my resources.
All my life, I’ve had a knack for thinking ‘outside the box’
when it comes to money.
I remember being a 12-year old kid begging my parents to buy a
$179 PlayStation (they said NO, loudly), and realizing that I
had to make my own money.
So I went to each of my neighbors to
ask if I could cut their lawn once a
week, at $15 for both the front and
back lawn. I “signed” 16 neighbors
and collected enough to buy my
PlayStation in 1 week. Wasn’t bad
for 1 day’s work.
Then, I bought the PlayStation and the
neighbors still wanted their lawns cut, but I
wanted to play my games. So I told the 9 year-
old and the 11 year-old across the street –
Matt & Dominique, that I’d pay him $10 per
house to do my lawns. I’d collect the money,
they’d do the job, then I’d pay them and got
to keep the extra money. So now, I got paid to
play my games. You could say… I was living
every 12-year old boy’s dream as a
professional gamer.
And every amazing money-making journey I’ve
taken since then has applied some version of that initial
strategy.
Flash forward to my 18-year-old self, starting out as a
realtor. I had to compete against 2,500 realtors who weren’t,
basically a sperm, lol, and put people at ease with a “young
kid” helping them buy or sell their home and handle their life
savings.
So I learned to be creative.
I was smart enough to recognize the value of a coach, and got
myself an epic coach, Craig Proctor. He taught me how to use
direct response marketing and creative USP’s to build my
credibility and generate leads. I became the first realtor in
Ottawa to coin (the now way overused) “Your home sold
guaranteed or I’ll buy it” slogan.
I advertised my slogan all over the city, went to meetings and
competed against 40-year veteran realtors, and I’d always (well
96.8% of the time) get the listing. Why? Because I’d actually
give sellers a post-dated check, dated 120 days from the day of
our meeting.
I’d tell the clients, “Listen, I’m sure everyone’s promised you
the world to sell your house, but what I’ll do, is put my money
where my mouth is, and actually give you a check for what I
think your home is worth (less fee’s…). So if I can’t deliver
on my promise, you get to cash my check…”
I laugh today for having the balls to do that because I
probably had no more than $10,000 in my account, but it was
such a hot market that I knew I would sell the property within
7 days so long as it’s priced right… and I quickly became one
of the top 5 agents in town at the age of 20.
Not long after, I launched Martel’s Real Estate Inc. brokerage,
which I turned into a multi-million dollar brokerage within 2
years by combining my sales and marketing with technology. (I
eventually handed this business over to my parents after having
a heart attack back in 2007, who still run it today!).
Some would say my “career path” has been unorthodox, to say the
least.
After recovering from that heart attack in 2007, I decided to
go into U.S. real estate because the economy was so depressed
and assets were so undervalued. Heck, still today, you can buy
U.S. homes at $30,000, rehab and flip it to sell at $150,000 in
6 months or less.
The only problem was that by the time I was ready to take
action and invest in U.S. real estate – and I swore I’d never
sell another homes as a realtor, I had run out of money. With
no income coming in after my heart attack and creditors calling
daily, I was forced to declare bankruptcy in 2009. So not only
did I have no income or capital to invest in U.S. real estate,
I also now had a bankruptcy on my credit.
Do you think I let a lack of money or credit stop me?
Think back to the PlayStation. Heck NO.
I had one task at hand: find people with lots of money and no
time, in order to partner with them and buy U.S. properties. So
I identified dentists as well-
to-do, no time people and went
off to find my new “partners”.
At first, it was REALLY hard to
convince a dentist to invest in
my deals with my mouth wide
open, salivating and drooling
with foreign objects in my
mouth… Yes! When I say I would “meet dentists”, I actually
mean… I’d book a cleaning, and meet them that way…
I had the cleanest teeth you’d EVER seen!
Anyways, it was pretty impossible to hold a conversation with
two people playing in your mouth, and I soon learned two
invaluable lessons:
1. If someone brushes their teeth twice a day and flosses at
least once a day, a dentist can’t tell the difference between
whether you got your mouth cleaned professionally yesterday, or
you just have good hygiene. Lol.
2. I’d have to be creative to stir up conversation AFTER the
cleaning. So my dirty little trick was to put a few polaroid
pictures with a property, address and price in my pockets. I’d
then purposefully let the pictures “fall” on the ground while
sitting in the dentist chair and wait
for the dentist to pick them up – and
human nature dictates that they always
discreetly look at the pictures before
giving them back to me (the real
secret is in slipping the pictures in
the key ring, let the keys hang out of your pocket before you
sit and then pull the key’s as you sit down). By that point,
natural curiously leads you straight into your “pitch” – which
I had down-packed. Sneaky… but worked 70% of the time.
I’d say something along the lines of, “Oh, those are the
properties I’m buying in Atlanta.” Then he/she’d say “Oh, for
how much? (as if they didn’t see the BIG BLACK BOLD $30,000 on
the picture) and I knew I had them from there…
Shifty… but I needed to feed my family while I crawled out of a
bankruptcy. Also, these were truly amazing deals that delivered
incredible gains, so the way it worked out was win-win for
everyone.
As my portfolio grew, I decided it was time to start acquiring
apartment complexes, since that’s where the hard-core money and
cash flow is at.
My first step was to put my hands on as much training and info
as possible, then start looking for deals.
None of my small-time dentists wanted to do deals that big, so
I was back to square one.
My goal was to find the absolute best deals possible, then call
everyone I’d ever met at an apartment seminar to partner up
with. It was a long shot, but I wanted it so bad, nothing was
going to stop me.
So I looked in Tulsa (as it was a crazy emerging market in 2009
[to present]) and found an amazing 50-unit complex that was
owned by a regional bank called ONB – Oklahoma National Bank. I
managed to convince the bank underwriter Dale, to give me the
loan for 100% financing (that’s a whole other story in itself
where I went in all cash offer and at the 11th hour pulled the
“I’m backing out unless you finance me” card) as long as I put
the rehab money of $276,000 in their escrow account (which I
obviously didn’t have yet).
So I started dialing.
I’m going to be straight with you, it was a long and painful
process. The conversations were amazing because I was just
calling to “chat” with an ulterior motive
to put my hands on their money, by never
asking (there’s an art to this, I teach
it in my “How to Pick Up Investors
Course”)
Finally, on my 20th-ish call I contacted
(for privacy, let’s call him ‘Bob’), who
shocked me.
Bob picks up the phone, I ask how it’s going and he tells me
“Horrible Steve”. I’m thinking… oh crap… I just walked into a
war zone here… but I listened as I genuinely love solving
problems and it turned out to be one of the best decisions of
my life.
Bob tells me that he has 2 weeks to find a deal or he’ll be
taxed a little over $100,000 in capital gains. I had no idea
what he was talking about at the time, but soon learned what a
1031 tax deferral was (most amazing tax exception ever
created!), and his tax clock was ticking.
So through sheer persistence and determination, I found my
first apartment investor for $298,000, funds that he needed to
defer anyway. Again, win-win.
Unfortunately, Bob and I started running out of money after a
couple months and needed to bring someone else in. I managed to
find a Texan road salesman at a hotel bar in Tulsa’s Embassy
Suites at the last minute who invested $100,000 to save the
deal. But that’s an awesome story you’ll learn through my sales
teachings in the Legacy System (The art of “picking up”
investors at the bar).
By this time, my entire approach to real estate had changed.
Afterwards, I was offered to buy a neighboring property near
our apartment and decided that I wanted to do this deal by
myself. I had started pulling down money on flips in Atlanta
that I had going on at the same time with the dentists, and I
wanted to make bigger waves. But I learned two tough lessons
that no one else teaches you ‘out there’:
1. Well this one was obvious… if you’re in bankruptcy in
Canada and you’re a foreign national asking for a
financing, it’s pretty dang hard to get a bank loan. Now,
because I was successfully turning around my first 50
units, Dale, the bank underwriter, decided to invest in me
again.
NB: Important lesson here. Commercial bankers don’t invest in
your deals (although they want it as collateral), nor do they
really care about your full financial history. They invest in
you, and your vision. Just watch my buddy Jim on the Dragons
Den or my partner Kevin Harrington on Sharks Tank. There’s
countless proof there.
CONFIDENTIAL: see the secret project video (still very rough cut) Kevin and I are working on in
2016 HERE:
2. I had no idea that bankers cared more about your current
portfolio and past deal experience than anything else.
Knowing now, it makes sense. But at that time, I had very
little credibility as I hadn’t done any successful
apartment deals yet. So I needed credibility.
But Dale let me off the hook and gave me the loan. At the same
time, I had a lead on an amazing 128-unit complex in northern
Dallas that my new partner (the Texan road salesman, let’s call
him ‘Mike’) brought to me.
I put an offer on the building, started due diligence and
everything seemed perfect… until I started
applying for loans. Dale wouldn’t lend in
Texas. So I had to go the traditional
route. After applying at least 3 times, it
became clear that no bank wanted to give me
the loan and I had to back out.
It was a great experience that ended up
costing me over $6,000 (inspections, travel, environmental,
loan applications and other 3rd party reports required by
banks).
So I had to go back to the drawing board. And it was my sister
who helped me come up with the most brilliant solution (she
worked with me for 2 years at the start).
We’re sitting at the bar (yes, again) and my sister, Emilie
made me realize that after Bob’s and Mike’s shares in my first
building, I only owned a little under 7% of the building. (Yes,
yes… it was low, but it was my first step into apartments).
But she pointed out that when I talked to people, including
bankers, I would tell them “I own this 50-unit building,” NOT I
own 7% of the 50-unit building. And even more importantly,
banks wanted proof of ownership, NOT percentages of ownership.
Side note here:
This is just like founders of major corporations.
Did you know Bill Gates only owns 4% of
Microsoft? But who cares right? Bill gates
IS Microsoft.
Or the late Steve Job’s
(huge fan of his vision) only owned 0.5%
of Apple! But yes… he was and still is
Apple.
So my sister suggested to find someone else who owned a lot of
apartment buildings and buy into their shares. Then, I would
gain instant ownership of numerous apartment buildings to
establish credibility so I could get loans from the banks.
It was flipping genius… And I knew just the guy.
Through all my networking with real estate pros, I had met an
amazing individual (let’s call him ‘Pete’), who I’m still very
good friends with. Pete owned 1,538 units, but would never
partner with anyone or lend money. Still, I had my mind set on
him to execute my plan.
I flew into his hometown (at the time, he lived next to one of
Tiger Wood’s houses – who knows who owns it now) to visit him
at his place, one of the most beautiful Spanish manors I’ve
EVER seen. And I offered to buy 1% of his entire portfolio for
3 years for an undisclosed amount (for his privacy). I needed
one of my entities to be a 1% owner of his holding company and
would have full rights to declare to anyone that I owned all
these 14 buildings from California to Texas.
My plan worked like a charm. Now
that was thinking outside the box
- thanks Emilie!
Look, I could go on and on… from
“buying” a boat with no money down
to my 120% financing on a 29-acre
riverfront lot with $5,000/m cash flow off the solar panels and
getting a free Big White BC (right near the best ski mountain
in Canada) condo for 2 years to buying and selling $17,000,000
worth of apartments in the last 24 months, owning the best 2
pieces of land, a waste water treatment plant and a trucking
company in North Dakota to teaching my real estate wealth
creativity to 486 people who’ve bought over $376,000,000 worth
of real estate.
Now, I’m definitely NOT sharing this to brag, or flaunt how my
‘crazy’ mind operates, but to show you that I do not care who
you are, how successful you currently are, what rumors you’ve
heard about me through the grapevine or the 9 idiotic negative
comments you can find online from people with ulterior motives
(3 of which are ex-employee’s I fired for stealing, 2 are
legitimate Platinum members who never reached out to me so I
never got the chance to make it right for them, and four are
based purely on assumptions with absolutely zero substance).
Hey, for dealing with over 27,000 people, I’ll take 9 negative
reviews even though if they are fabricated...
I have something amazing to teach you. And it far
exceeds any other real estate training that’s ever
been offered before.
Yes, with the legacy system that I’ll present to you in a
moment, you get EVERYTHING you could ever imagine about real
estate… and then some!
My system to buy single family homes and flip for top
profits in any market.
The ultimate investor guide to buy 2/4-unit properties
from start to finish so you know how to evaluate deals and
close like a pro.
How to find, evaluate, finance and close on apartment
complexes with top ROI performance.
How to buy and operate passive cash flow storage unit
facilities for hands-off income.
How to buy and operate mobile parks with optimal cash
flow.
All my creative financing secrets so you know how to fund
any deal, no matter what your financial background or
level of experience.
My guide for traditional financing processes to accelerate
your applications with major banks and fund your deals.
My legendary ‘Subject-To’s’ low-risk, top profit
acquisitions system to implement right away and start
pulling down real money, real fast.
The ultimate direct mail system that shows you how to set
up a stream of 100% seller financing off-market
acquisitions in any market.
Never-Before-Revealed: My sales and persuasion tactics and
secrets of NLP (Neurologic Linguistic Programing) to close
on any deal, win any negotiation and attract top
investors.
The ultimate rehab blueprint for investors to perform on-
time, on-budget smart renovations that yield top ROI.
My coveted investor property management training to
oversee your assets for consistent hands-off income.
Business-in-a-Box to run and operate your wealth machine
with automation systems that save time and boost your
bottom line.
And much, much more.
But most importantly, you’ll get a front row seat into my
‘crazy’ mind… I know that’s pretty freaking scary ;)… but I’m a
problem solver with an eye for money.
Why else would I be the highest paid adviser in the world at
$12,000/hour? Because within a 30-minute conversation, I can
get you “unstuck” from any situation and show you how to make
tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard: “oh… I didn’t even
think of that! Thanks Steve, this changes everything!”
Now, there’s always going to be people who can’t take
accountability and blame others for shortcomings, but if you
don’t reach out to me, I can’t help you. If you do reach out to
me, that’s a whole other story. That’s when the fun starts!
Heck, I have a BowFlex in my gym room that serves better as a
clothes dryer than a workout tool right now. Do
you think I blame Chuck Norris for not losing
weight? NO. It’s not his job to come to my house
and force me to use it. He’s got Chuck Norris
things to do… whatever that is.
An-y-ways… Back to the program here.
If you really want to prove to everyone around
you what you’re really made of, and show people that you are
serious about becoming the success you keep telling people
you’ll be, and you truly want to break free from the financial
rut 98% of North Americans are living in right now, you have to
take action and do something about it.
Once you take action and COMMIT to following my Legacy System,
it’s only a matter a time until you achieve your goals. And not
as much “time” as you think.
Every day, week, month and year, you do have to practice self-
discipline. You will have to work hard and persist, to hold
yourself to the standards of millionaires and billionaires you
respect so you know how to act, talk, walk and embody the
success you deserve. But there’s a light at the end of tunnel.
The beauty of real estate wealth is that after you’ve made that
initial investment, you get paid to do nothing at all.
And that’s what I want to give you by offering you my Legacy
System.
I don’t care what it takes to put your hands on this Legacy
System, if you want success bad enough, you’ll make it happen!
Now, I don’t want to be responsible for anyone thinking about
robbing a bank here… keep it ethical and legal… but be
creative.

Start Your Legacy of Generosity Now
One quote that’s always struck my heart is: “If you want to
touch the past, touch a rock. If you want to touch the present,
touch a flower. If you want to touch the future, touch a life.”
– Anonymous.
I rarely disclose the amounts of money I donate towards my
philanthropic work as I believe that anyone can write a check,
but very few dedicate time to good causes. But you should know,
that 20% of the proceeds of my Legacy Collection system will be
donated for two important philanthropic projects.
As most of you know, my friend Sir Richard Branson inspired me
a few years back to build a business model based on principles
of social entrepreneurship.
Social entrepreneurship is
based on creating solutions
that have a positive impact
on people’s lives. A BIG
part of my legacy is my
choice to be a social
entrepreneur, to help others
achieve their dreams and
financial freedom AND take
on an active role to take
part in meaningful philanthropic projects.
For instance, with the help of
Scott Bonnell and Frank McKinney
through my Martel Alliance
foundation, we’ve helped thousands
of homeless children and families
by building villages, orphanages
and more to give to others less fortunate
and in need.
Today, Haiti’s political and social
realities continue to wreak havoc on their
people and our partners are working towards
helping to create solutions. We will give a
portion of proceeds from the Legacy System
to our primary partners in Haiti, Scott
Bonnell and Frank McKinney, to continue to offer sustainable
solutions for those in need.
And in local contributions from the
Legacy System proceeds, we will
also contribute donations again
this year to the amazing Ottawa-
based Youville Centre organization
that helps new, young mothers and
their children achieve financial
security.
Youville Centre is an innovative organization established over
a century ago that helps young, single mothers move through
crises and become self-sufficient. It is an amazing charity
that works with mothers and children to build a better future.
So, when you do get one of my limited 100 Legacy System
collections today, you’ll also be donating to help in Haiti and
young mothers become entrepreneurs in Canada. Feel free to make
that part of your new legacy.
I really want to thank you for reading this entire letter. I
hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
Yours truly,
Steve Martel
