The most recent Download Amnesty Day window happened Monday, May 15th

Did you pay for an online, Zoom-based Saturday workshop a while back, but when you went to download your documents and video replay later from the event page, you found them missing?

Fear not! The files from these KREIA/RMG (Real Estate Mastermind Group) workshops aren't really missing — they've just been packed in cold storage by our web host, who makes a 6-month sweep to save space. The host does allow us to "revive" resources older than 6 months for a 24-hour window.

And we do that occasionally in what are called “Download Amnesty Days.” Watch your email for announcements on when they happen.

But if you’ve discovered you’re missing a workshop and would like us to bump up our schedule on holding an “amnesty day,” please let us know by sending email to support@kreia.com

When we announce an amnesty day, we’re opening up that 24-hour window, and we’ll let you know when it closes.

How to Fetch Your Workshop Documents & Video
