Using Lease/Options to Buy and Sell Houses
Lease/options are powerful tools: you can use them to control properties without ownership (and without the seller needing to pay capital gains taxes!) when you’re the buyer. And get big, non-refundable upfront fees plus rent plus little to no management or repair costs when you sell. Taylor and Dave will split the day between those two ‘faces’ of this powerful tool, and share their experiences with the power of lease/options (and the traps to avoid) so that you can add these strategies to YOUR real estate toolbox!

Right?
No?
Then your future self BEGS you to spend Saturday, May 7th in this online workshop so you can get started NOW on creating an affluent retirement with a self-directed retirement account + some guidance on awesome, small-dollar investments that will let you buy properties, flip deals, and even make private loans with just a few thousand dollars.

How to Make Foreclosure Deals
at EVERY Stage of the Process
with Vena Jones-Cox and Tiffani Ray
We don’t “find deals”—we find sellers with real, painful problems that we can use our skills and resources to help them solve, right?
Thanks to expiring moratoriums and millions of Americans still unable to get the loan modifications they were promised, foreclosures are back in a big way as one of those ‘pain points’ that we can help relieve, if we have the knowledge we need to help owners navigate the process.
That’s why now seems like a great time to talk about the details of how to get deals at every stage of the process. We’ll show you where and how to get short sale deals, the inside secrets of getting bank-owned property offers accepted, the rules around FNMA, FHA, and VA foreclosure bidding, and more.
It's time to brush up on these skills, and this workshop will do it for you all in one day, at a price you’ll really like. Learn more and get your virtual seat here.

Get the Competitive Edge You’ve Been Looking For:
How to Negotiate Win-Win Deals with Sellers with Ray Sasser
One of the biggest challenges in the 2022 market is the low supply of, and huge demand for, properties of every description.
If you’re actively buying, selling or wholesaling properties, you need every advantage you can get…
And since your job isn’t to find deals, it’s to find people with real estate problems that need solving, it’s a HUGE competitive advantage when you’re better at talking to, building real rapport (not that fake, slimy rapport you hate) with, and really connecting to those people.
You’ll learn how to be the one that your sellers want to work with in this all day intensive workshop, or your money back.

It’s Time to Talk About What
Inflation, Rising Interest Rates, and Increased Foreclosures
Do to the Real Estate Market
(and where the opportunities and risks lie)
WITH PETE FORTUNATO, DYCHES BODDIFORD, DAVID TILNEY, JANE GARVEY, AND TIFFANI RAY
We can’t keep pretending like its business as usual.
Real inflation is into the double digits and continues to climb every month.
Mortgage interest rates are already rising, in the expectation that the Fed might raise rates as many as 6 times in the next 12 months.
Foreclosure starts are up 129% over last year.
The market IS changing, and we need to talk about where the potential risks and opportunities are in a market like this, and the best way to learn it is from people who’ve already BEEN IN a market like this.
That’s exactly what we’re bringing you on the 17th on Zoom; 4 investors who’ve been in the business since the LAST TIME there was rampant inflation (and a cold war and an oil crisis!) and one who’s been a short sale investor for a decade…
This meeting is so important that we’re WAIVING THE GUEST FEE; but to get your link, you must register HERE.

How (and Why and When) to Get
0% Seller-Carryback Financing When You Buy
Masterclass with Vena Jones-Cox
What would it mean to you if you could get no-interest financing on your next deal?
You can—when you understand how to find the sellers for whom that’s a win-win deal, how to evaluate whether the price and payments are a win for YOU, how to talk to sellers about it, and how to ‘write up’ that deal.
This all-day workshop shows you how to do all of those things, at a tuition you just won’t believe. Go HERE to find out more and grab a link to join in!

Want to Get More Sellers to Finance Deals for You?
Yeah, Ya Do.
Here’s Some Real-Life. Practical, No B.S. Training
To Help You (Yes, YOU) Get It…
If you’re not asking sellers to “carry payments” when you buy their properties, you’re missing out on a great (no-qualifying, often low interest and low down payment) creative way to do more deals—and to pay prices that are MORE than what your competitors can pay in this hot market.
On February 17th on Zoom, you’ll start the evening at 6 eastern by getting a purchase agreement and finding out how to “fill in the blanks” when writing offers to sellers for seller-carryback financing, subject to deals, and more.
At the 7:15 meeting, hear from Chad Harris, real-life investor who will share how to introduce the idea of seller financing to sellers, overcome their objections and negotiate terms that make it a “win-win” for you and the seller.

Hands-on Workshop:
How to Analyze Leads from Your Desktop, Fast,
and Get More Deals
Spend a Saturday learning how to QUICKLY get the information you need from sellers, figure out what a property is worth, what it will rent for, what the repair costs are likely to be, whether it has code violations, tax liens, and mortgages…and to get back to a seller with a “soft offer” faster than your competitors can!
Why?
Because in a low-inventory, high-competition market, you need to be quick and good at making offers (and confident about moving on, when there’s no deal to be made).
This hands-on workshop will make you better than 95% of your competitors at this important part of the offer-making process, or your money back. Get the full agenda AND YOUR ZOOM LINK HERE.

How Congress is About to Shut Down Your Business
(and what you can do about it)
PLUS
The (money-making) Business of Housing Seniors
We’re opening up our October 21st zoom meeting to EVERYONE…because the topic is so important that everyone in the real estate business needs to know about it, and act on it.
Unless we can do something about it, and soon, Congress will pass a bill that makes it much, much harder to invest YOUR retirement funds in real estate deals, and for your colleagues to help fund YOUR deals.
We’re going to talk about what the bill says, how it will shut down much of the funding in the small real estate business, and what action you need to take now to try to stop it.
And because we all want to know how about “niche markets” that help us build our wealth with less competition WHILE solving a piece of the housing crisis, we’ll ALSO have an early session about the business of providing senior living options using the single family homes you already know and love.

We ALL Need a Crystal Ball Right Now--
And OREIA’s Got the Next Best Thing:
What’s Working Today and What to Do in ‘22
6 Monday nights with the top experts in flipping, apartment investing, creative finance, retirement plan investing, deal-finding, and the future of the market
FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
It’s been an interesting year, with seemingly-unending inventory, housing, labor and materials shortages, constant new government regulation, and skyrocketing house prices.
Real estate investors who’ve been able to adapt have had banner years; those that haven’t are still struggling to make old strategies work in the new normal.
Plus, in case you haven’t heard, EVERYONE thinks we’re in for a re-set in the real estate market; but the question is, WHEN? And how do we prepare for it?
The best way to understand what’s working now and what we’re likely to see in the next few years is to talk to active investors who have decades of experience in their fields and who have already lived through hot markets and recessionary ones…and that’s exactly who we’re calling on for this 6-week series of online discussions.
Here’s the High-Level Overview:
- You should DEFINITELY attend if you value the opinions and experienced advice of people who are in the market today, and who have decades of accomplishment (and probably a few scars) to back up their input
- Each week features a different high-level expert or panel on a different strategy; attend all of them, or just the ones that will most benefit your particular business; this link will take you to the detailed schedule
- You don’t have to register for each of the sessions individually; just click HERE and you’ll be registered for the whole series
- You don’t have to attend live (though that’s the best strategy, since that’s when you’ll have the chance to ask questions); a link for the recorded version will go out to all attendees the next day, and will be available to hear for a full week.
- These aren’t sales pitches for home study courses; these experts will be giving their best advice and guesses about what’s next, NOT their courses (though we wouldn’t be surprised if you were ALSO encouraged to attend the awesome OREIA National Real Estate Summit in November…)
Listening to what smart people have to say is just smart; since this series is free and open to the public, it just makes sense to register HERE, now!

It’s only $47 for members for both days ($97 for non-members) because we make it as affordable as possible for as many people as possible in a market that’s insane and changing by the day—and that’s less than the BONUSES she’s giving out to early registrants are worth…

We’ll tackle this topic from TWO angles—a member who actually DID it will walk through how, then National Expert (and COREE favorite) Anthony Chara will share the big picture of how to get started investing in apartments, even if you’re pretty new to the real estate business.
You’re welcome to attend (and you’ll learn a lot) whether you’re already in real estate, or just starting to get interested.

Keep Your Rehabs and Turnovers
ON TIME, ON BUDGET, and UNDER CONTROL
with this Pro Tool…
Most of the big, profit-busting problems you hear about in rehabs can be avoided simply by having a super-clear agreement with the contractors before work starts.
But a super-clear agreement means having a detailed scope of work that includes a breakdown of what work is being done, what each item costs (so that when one changes, the whole budget doesn’t change), who’s doing it…
If you EVER do (or plan to do) rehabs or even big rental turnovers, it’s worth a day of your time to learn how to do these ‘scopes of works’, since they’ll potentially save you over and over again…and we have the cheap, guaranteed, one-day workshop that’s going to do that for you HERE!

He’s online at this meeting to tell us what’s already happened to tax laws, asset protection, and privacy and what he expects next, plus answer your questions…

A Primer About
Why You Want to Buy Apartments, Not Houses…
Still don’t quite get how to find the REAL value of a property you want to make an offer on? Maybe it’s because you haven’t ACTUALLY walked through to process, on your own computer, with a real property and guidance about how to take all those comparable sales and narrow them down to the best ones. That’s the FIRST thing we’ll do at this meeting…
And the SECOND thing we’ll do is hear from a member who buys apartments all over the U.S. about why, if cash flow is your goal, you should maybe consider going STRAIGHT to larger rentals, do not pass single family homes do not collect $200 a month (collect $2,000 a month instead). And yes, you can do that even if you don’t have zillions of dollars in the bank…he’ll explain why…
…but only if you’re REGISTERED (do that HERE) and show up Thursday night.
