This 5 hour training, presented by John Bowens of Equity Trust Company, gets you completely up to speed on how to start a 401(K), how much you can contribute each year, why they’re better for buying creative deals, and the rest of the rules and advantages—and the training is, as always, 100% moneyback guaranteed: you’ll agree it’s worth MORE than the (under $100) tuition, or your money back!

Interested in hearing more about buying properties “Subject to the Existing Loan” from a real-life investor who’s been doing it for years?

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.
Everyone, from anywhere in the world, is welcome!
