How to Partner Your Way to Wealth in the Downturn
with “Equity Sharing Agreements”
Everyone knows the market is slowing, and that sellers are getting more motivated, and that this will go on for at least a year.
In fact, the smartest, most seasoned investors you know are gearing up to buy as many deals as they can during this recession.
The problem is, borrowing money is getting more expensive at the same time.
So, What’s the Very Best Way to Grab These Bargains
While the Grabbin’s Good?
Saturday’s guest presenter Dave Corsi will show you how to revive a time-tested strategy that most investors have forgotten: Equity Sharing Agreements.

Learn the Most Powerful Wealth-Building Tool
That YouTube Never Taught You…
(free and open to the public)
In fact, unless you’ve been to one of our Propswap meetings, this is a skill you’ve probably never even HEARD OF…and yet it’s made our members millions of dollars in the last 2 ½ years.
It’s the skill of EXCHANGING, but not in the “1031 exchange sense”…
Instead, it’s exchanging something you have (that could be money, or a property, or a note, or your time, or a pair of jumping stilts) for something you want more (like a better property, or a piece of someone else’s property, or help, or a diamond tennis bracelet).
At this meeting, we’ll break down the process of exchanging, from finding the right people to exchange WITH to how to approach them to how to make offers and more.

Online Masterclass:
Keep Your Contractors on Time, on Budget, and Under Control
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 that 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…and agreeing UP FRONT to things like when the contractor will be paid (hint: don’t give big down payments, and never let contractors “get ahead” in what you’ve paid vs. what they’ve completed).
Because your contractors can make or break your deals, we’re devoting a whole Saturday to showing you how to systematize finding, managing, and negotiating with them—and giving you the actual tools to do that.
And it’s cheap, and money-back guaranteed. Get the details and your zoom link HERE.

Wondering How You Can Be Successful in Real Estate
AND Work a Full-Time Job?
Find Out (and also get a lesson on arranging your business affairs)
At this ONLINE Meeting…
Here at The Real Estate Investors Association of Greater Cincinnati, we’re always looking for ways to help you with the PRACTICAL skills around successful real estate investing that no one really talks about.
One of those is juggling a real estate business alongside a full-time job or business.
Another is how to nail down your legacy planning so that your family doesn’t end up at each other’s throats, like so many do, if you should die or become disabled.
We’re covering both at our October 20th online meeting, and you’re welcome to join in, whether you’re a new or experienced investor, and no matter where in the U.S. you hail from.

The "How to Thrive in the New Market"
Online Discussion Series

Sept. 7th-October 12th On Zoom
Free and Open to the Public!
We ALL Need a Crystal Ball Right Now--
And OREIA’s Got the Next Best Thing:
The "How to Thrive in the New Real Estate Market”
Zoom Discussion Series
(Register for all 6 sessions HERE)
There’s no question that the real estate market has shifted with inflation taking a toll on everyone, skyrocketing interest rates, and a market that’s softening fast.
The strategies we’ve all used successfully in the last 2 years are showing some serious cracks:
- How does buying rentals work when interest rates have nearly doubled, but rents haven’t?
- How do we move forward with fixing and flipping when a property might be worth less in 6 months than it is today?
- Who are the best sellers, and the best buyers, in a softened market?
- How do we overcome our own anxieties, build our knowledge and skills, and charge forward into this “New Market” armed and ready to thrive in a recession?
The Best Way to Prepare is to
Talk with Active Investors with
DECADES of Experience in Hot and Cold Markets...
And That's Exactly Who We're Bringing You
On Wednesday Nights, Sept. 7th-Oct. 12th

Here's your week-by-week agenda:
- September 7th: The 2022-2023 Market Forecast, and What it Means for Your Favorite Strategy (with Vena Jones-Cox)

All the sessions will be recorded and sent to all registrants the next day, so even if you have to miss a Wednesday night, you don't have to miss a Wednesday night.

Foreclosures are a Big Problem.
We Make Money Solving Problems.
So YOU Should Spend a Day Learning to Solve This One
(Because you’ll make a lot of money doing it)
The problem?
A big spike in foreclosures, and owners who can’t sell because after 24 months of no payments, they literally owe more than their homes are worth.
The solution?
Short sales, which help owners exit their properties gracefully instead of via a public sale, and which, if you do them right, are a win for the seller, a win for the lender, and a win for you.
Our all-day online training shows you how to get the deals you want AND the results sellers want—a skill that only a tiny percentage of your so-called ‘competitors’ have.

Here at REIAGC, we talk about all sorts of strategies for building wealth—but if you want to know the practicalities of how to build it as fast as possible, with as few useless detours and wasted energy as possible, this is your meeting.
A panel of experienced “enders”—the folks who are already where you want to be—will talk about what they’d do to make a million dollars in 2 years if they lost EVERYTHING except their knowledge.
In other words, they’ll be showing you, from the vantage point of decades of experience, exactly what YOU need to be spending your time on (and avoiding!) if YOU want to build your business and assets fast.
If you come early, you can build relationships in our Zoom networking rooms at 5:30, or and get a “hands on” lesson about how to find motivated seller leads and comparable sales at 6.

The Complete Guide to
(Legally, Ethically, Profitably)
Buying Properties Subject to the Existing Loan
Yes, we know: you want to know how to buy properties “Subject To” the existing loan, so that you can take over other people’s mortgages with little or no money down and no qualifying.
But you can’t possibly learn how to do that RIGHT in an hour-long meeting, so we’ve found you a complete, soup-to-nuts, nothing-else-to-buy workshop from hyper-experienced creative deal structurer Vena Jones-Cox—for under $100 (and with a full satisfaction guarantee!).

We watch the local market and the national economy constantly, and with over 45 years of experience to draw on, we know which strategies work when interest rates are up, or foreclosure rates are up, or the market is softening…
And then we educate on them, BEFORE the rest of the real estate world even figures it out.

Take Control of Your
Asset Protection and Business Structure
(Or Someone Else Will)
Sadly, despite what you may have heard from some national education mills, there’s no “one size fits all” plan for protecting your assets and structuring your business.
In fact, if you do, or plan to do, multiple strategies (say, retailing + rentals), you might want TWO entities.
But which ones are actually the right ones for YOUR business?
You won’t know unless you understand what the primary structures are, what they do, and whether you actually need them, and how to get them cost-effectively.
Spend a day at this online intensive, and when you’re done, you’ll know the pros and cons of using LLCs, series LLCs, land trusts, Corporations, and general partnerships in your business; whether you really need a Nevada or Wyoming entity; explain when it’s OK to ‘do it yourself’ vs. when you need to get an attorney involved, and how to avoid the mistakes real estate investors make that destroy their asset protection structures just when they need them the most.

Learn to AVOID
The BIGGEST Mistake New Investors Make
At Our Virtual Property Inspection
& Repair Cost Estimation Masterclass…
When new retailers lose money on deals, or new wholesalers can’t sell deals, or new housing providers don’t get the cash flow or rate of return they thought they would, the problem almost always comes down to one thing…
…They didn’t know what needed to be done to the property, or what it would cost, BEFORE they closed the deal.
Until you have a grip on these basic skills, you can’t even make smart offers.
So it’s worth a day of your time and a few bucks to REALLY learn what to look for, how to recognize problems, and what it costs to fix them—and we’re so sure this online Masterclass will do it for you that if we’re wrong, you won’t pay.

At our Thursday, August 4th in-person meeting, we’ll talk about 2 ways to actually HELP: by providing (high profit) ‘shared housing’ for at-risk populations like the elderly, disabled, vets, and more, AND how to navigate the intricacies of the Section 8 housing choice voucher program.

We Don’t Like to Talk About it,
But We HAVE TO Talk About it:
Your Estate Plan Needs Your Attention NOW.
No one wants to think about their death, but for real estate entrepreneurs, it’s absolutely irresponsible the leave your poor heirs with a mess of assets (Properties! Notes! Options! LLCs! IRAs! Partnerships!) that they don’t understand, can’t easily deal with, and may have to spend years untangling when you’re gone.
That’s why we’re holding the first EVER estate planning class specifically for real estate entrepreneurs like you, to lay out the path to passing on your hard-earned assets to the people and causes you love with the minimum possible taxes, fees, and, most importantly, hassle.
From the role of trusts and directives to insurance to how to plan for disability to simple things you to do to make sure your heirs even understand what they’ve inherited, this online intensive has it ALL…
…And yes, you’ll get the recordings, too, because you’ll want to listen over and over. Check out the amazing agenda and register HERE.
July 21st, ONLINE:
Let’s Get Up to Date on Repair Costs & Repair LOAN Costs
(‘Cause They’re Changing Fast, Like Everything Else…)
Your ability to correctly estimate what it will cost to upgrade a flip, rental, or wholesale deal is always KEY to your ability to make smart offers.
In a market that seems to be softening—which means that if you don’t get those costs right, fast-rising prices might not ‘save you’ when it’s time to sell—that skill is more important than ever.
Repair costs have been a moving (mostly upward!) target for the last few years, so join us online and find out about current costs for everything from windows to flooring to cabinets to HVAC and more, AND learn about how to keep your own “cost estimation cheat sheet” up to date as prices fluctuate.
At our 6:00 early bird meeting, you’ll hear from a whole slew of hard money lenders about programs they have for borrowing both purchase and repair funds for rehabs, and how the rates, qualifications, and costs are changing as the Fed raises interest rates and the market starts to soften.

There are SOOOO Many Ways
To “Do” Profitable Short-Term Rentals
(and one will probably work for you)
Short-term rentals are definitely the hot topic of the moment…
And the REALLY interesting thing about them isn’t that they make a ton of money compared to traditional rentals (they do)…
Or even that they might let you own a property in a vacation area you like (that makes money when you’re not there)…
It’s that there are LOTS of different ways to do them, from luxury to super-budget properties, and from providing a whole house to using one unit in a multi-family, and from owning them outright to ‘arbitraging’ them.
That, plus the right ways to hold, finance and insure them, is what we’ll talk about at this online meeting.

Lease/Options are a
Powerful Way to
Buy AND Sell Properties:
Our Master Class Shows You How.
Our members who use lease/options to SELL houses tell us that they get upfront cash (like a wholesale deal), cash flow (like a rental) and a big check at the end (like a retail flip)…
All with less management hassle and less maintenance than a traditional lease.
Our members who use lease/options to BUY tell us that they’re an amazing way to control cash flowing deals (including AirBnbs!) without big down payments, and that they get MORE deals by having lease/options in their ‘tool bag’.
Spend a Saturday (and a tiny bit of money) learning both faces of this powerful strategy, with experienced experts who will share what they’ve learned over decades of profitably lease/optioning properties

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.

By Getting the Kids in Your Life into the Real Estate Business!

l-r: Eric, Ethan, Lila, Deven Wohlwend
At 7:30, you’ll hear from a family who’s done what lots of us WANT to do: gotten their young (like elementary school young) children engaged in their real estate business to the point where their teenagers now own…well, maybe more real estate than you do, and they found, funded, and mostly manage the deals themselves!
There’s also networking time, deal evaluations and more—so grab your seat HERE and be there on the 3rd!
Everyone under 21 or younger attends free (under 18 accompanied by an adult, please), so
bring your kids to meet some kids who built a real estate business before they could drive!

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.

Mega-creative dealmakers Vena Jones-Cox and Bill Cook are teaching an 8-week, online series of workshops to increase your understanding of the whys and how-tos of “Creative Finance” deals, ranging from getting owner financing to working creatively with partners and private lenders.

If you know something about why creative deal structures are so profitable—especially in a market where ALL the prices are “too high” and where competition is fierce, this series is definitely for you, because you’ll get actionable advice on how to get out there and actually DO them.

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…

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!

Beyond the IRA:
How (and Why) to Use Solo 401(K)s
for More Tax Saving and Investing Power
FINALLY, there’s an inexpensive training that lays out the basics of Solo 401(K)s, which might have huge advantages for you, but which you probably don’t completely understand.
If you’re a self-employed real estate entrepreneur (even if it’s your ‘side hustle’) these plans can let you sock away a lot MORE money every year, and make bigger tax-free or tax-deferred investments with less red tape. But they’re also subject to different costs and rules, of course…
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!

Hands-On “Comping” workshop +
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!
