A quick rundown of the episode:
Below is an email we received from a Ren-Menion, Jared C.—
RenMen!
Ya’ll still alive? Ya’ll ok?? Should I call someone and have them go over to check on you guys? I’m starting to wonder if you guys took the ‘diet’ thing a little too far and starved yourselves to death…. all so you wouldn’t have to write a check to charity…
JC,
Thanks for you concern, we are still alive. We have been shooting the information product, for the past several weeks. It has become a much bigger project than we first expected. We don’t want to sound cocky, but we forgot how much we knew about real estate, and how much needed to be shared and told about real estate. We only have our cameramen certain days and we can’t quite seem to squeeze out a Ren Men Show. It is our hopes to get one out this week, –root for us, we are going to need it.
The diets are going…for Grant well, for Alan the same. Grant just returned from vacation cheated all week, and came back the same weight! Alan is still lifting, stronger than ever and has lost five pounds since the Bod-Pod weigh-in.
On the housing front, we have continued to pick up houses here and there — steady wins the race. On the RAG front, we are losing the battle of 200. We had wanted all along to have Jeeps, Jeeps, and more Jeeps, we get them, then gas go to $4.00 a gallon. Sweet! Any Ren-Menions want a Jeep for cheap?
The vending is status-quo. The information product is coming along great at times and decent at other times. We have had some hindrances, but they haven’t stopped us, yet. We hope to complete filming by the end of April, complete editing by the end of May and push product out sometime in June/July. That is an aggressive schedule, which is right up our alley.

With a special ‘Celebration’ intro, of course.
Thanks for watching and being apart of this show. We would not be where we are today without you. Here is to another stellar year!

In a prior boxer post, we discussed our revenue from the boxer machines. We had a couple of questions about Pops Saloon. That bar was our best earner by far. Well, since then, they have bought their own machine and have locked out the Ren Men, from doing business with them.
Why didn’t we get a contract with them, you ask? It is nearly impossible to get a contract with any bar, plus if the machine is under performing we would not be able to take the machine out. We could make a clause in the contract to state if the machine is under performing we have rights to take it out, but if it’s kicking ass we’ll leave it. How many Ren-Menions would sign that contract?
Needless to say, that adds another machine that is in need of placement. Anyone own a bar?
The Ren Vending Group has a brand new look in looking a revenue. Follow the link (Excel document) and tell us what you think.
As far as the numbers go, we are moderately content with our monthly revenue. We brought in nearly $5,500, that’s the good news. The bad news is we lost the 5 O’Clock Sports Bar, which means we have four more machines to place in order to get back to full occupancy.
At least four bars are underperforming as well. That is a total of eight machines that we are going to re-place in the upcoming months, (so much for passive income).
