I met these two ladies and they tested out a game that I and my co-creator Silas Colman invented, Quick Turn Real Estate Game. They had so much fun that they wrote to me to tell me about their adventures in Investor Land. To be completely entertained, read their story below.
Instead of landing on Pennsylvania Railroad it is Quick Cash and instead of passing go and collecting $200 it is take 1 brass ball as you pass.
Yes, I it said brass ball!
This is not your everyday Mattel®, Fisher Price® board game, as Sophia and I (Ava) figured out when we played the Quick Turn game the other day.
The Quick Turn game is a way of quickly developing, reinforcing and mastering the skills needed for quick turning houses all while having a “brass ball” of a time with family and friends.
Now, Sophia and I are just getting our feet wet in the quick turning business, so we do not have a deep understanding of the concepts. But when we were about 25 minutes into the game and 3 “rehab deals” and 1 “wholesale deal” later, I felt like I was getting the hang of these quick turning techniques rather easily, especially for a blonde.
I was learning how to “subject-to” a house, get private lenders to lend me money, which is what the brass balls represent, do a deal with little start-up capital, etc., etc.
When the game was over, and it does end, unlike Monopoly, because it is timed, I felt extremely confident that I could go out and negotiate quick turn deals right then and there, and I was so confident, borderline cocky, that I knew I won the game. I really felt like I won, because Sophia couldn’t stop playing with the timer that looks like an Ipod. By the way she is a blonde too, so don’t get distracted by the cool Ipod timer.
However.
I did not take in the fact that whoever has the most revenue wins…after taxes! Just like Life, not the game.
Fortunately, I did not risk a dime on this mistake, just the constant battering of Sophia’s “I beat you, I beat you!”. Do you have any idea of what it feels like, when the person that is so goofy, gets the game by barely paying attention because she is in love with a wanna be Ipod and beats you on top of it!
Even though I lost, I still won by practicing my real estate concepts and techniques throughout the whole game while boosting my confidence to structure and negotiate quick turning deals. And I gained a partner, because Sophia thought this stuff was too hard to learn, well she is on board now! I am the brains and she has the charisma.
Practice makes perfect and with the Quick Turn game it will accelerate the building and refining of your quick turn real estate strategies.
One more thing, when Sophia’s kids, one being a teenager, saw us playing the game, they wanted to play too! Now she has a way of them learning and not knowing it. This game is a win-win situation! Thanks Game Guys, we had a blast!

This has been an entertaining yet informative Blog! I loved it! But when I went to the site that was listed, I didn’t really get any information about the product. So far I like because of what the blonde gamers had to say, but I want more information from the actual vendor.
Thank you for a great Blog, I will be watching for future posts! Can’t wait to see what you will add next!
