Two of the BEST Strategies in a Recessionary Real Estate Market-- One for BUYING, One for SELLING
When you’re a real estate entrepreneur, there’s no such thing as a “bad” real estate market—but, yeah, some things work better when the market is ‘hot’, and other things work better when markets are ‘cold’.
In our continuing mission to get you ready to prosper, stimulate the local economy, and help buyers and sellers get past problems that they can’t solve themselves, we’re bringing you expert advice on TWO important recessionary market tactics: Short Sales, and Repair for Equity Deals.

Only Attend This Meeting if
You’re Worried About Retiring Rich,
And Cutting Your Taxes…
Real estate investing is well-known for being a “tax advantaged” investment, but not too many people know about the two BIGGEST tax advantages: getting to build wealth by paying ZERO taxes, at least for a while, by investing in “Opportunity Zones” and by using the money in your self-directed IRA to do deals…
You should attend this meeting if:
- You’re already buying properties in distressed areas—or plan to—but aren’t getting the huge tax breaks offered by the opportunity zone program
- You have a retirement plan that’s getting you crazy-low returns, and you need to boost those right away
- You don’t have a retirement plan, and you know you need one, and you need to start with a small contribution and build it FAST
- You know people with money in retirement plans, and you want to learn to work with them to to fund YOUR deals
‘Cause that’s what you’re gonna learn.
Members and first-time guests are free; returning guests pay $35 (or, just take advantage of our super-cheap monthly online membership and get this meeting, plus a complete basic real estate education course, plus additional, education-packed special-interest focus group meeting every single week)…

We’ve been training and supporting Tri-state investors to prosper ethically in up markets and down for over 44 years…so what makes you think we’d stop now?
In fact, we’re reacting to the fast-changing market by centering our meetings on the MOST important skills you need to survive and thrive in the recession that’s upon us.

What You Need in a Fast-Changing Market:
1. Up-to-the-second information
2. Experienced advice
3. The support of a like-minded community
And guess what we're bringing you on April 2nd ?
So here are two skills that become big deals when the market slows down: negotiating win-win creative finance deals with sellers, and understanding how to evaluate properties when there are a lot fewer comparables, and prices are dropping.
Our April 2nd meeting covers BOTH of those topics, with creative deal-making genius Bill Cook talking about how to help sellers and get amazing, no-qualifying financing and Vena Jones-Cox teaching a workshop on property evaluation in a slow market. Between them, they have well over 50 years’ experience in hot markets and cold.
You’ll also get the chance to buy and sell deals, and check out our member deal of the month.
This meeting is a ‘guest night’ where the usual $35 guest fee is WAIVED, but because it’s online and you have to have a link to get in, you have to register (and get the details) HERE.

- How changes in technology mean that finding off-market deals is easier and cheaper than ever before—even for those of us who aren’t “technical”

- How to make money selling houses when home buyers AREN’T buying
- How to recognize when you should be stocking up on properties, and when you should be selling them—and strategies for doing that, when the time is right
