Wholesaler Quick Start Day with Vena Jones-Cox
You’ve read the books, you’ve watched the YouTube videos, and you’re STILL not sure what the exact path is from where you are right now to your next wholesale check? We’ve got you. Here’s the step-by-step, no-BS guide to exactly what you need to know, and the work that goes into, a wholesale deal. (And the things you should absolutely AVOID doing, unless you just enjoy spinning your wheels and not getting paid for it). You’ll know what to do, and when, when you’re done.

June 11th, Online All-Day Intensive:
Using Lease/Options to Buy and Sell Houses with Taylor Takacs and Dave Corsi
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!
Get the details and register here.
June 25th, Online All-Day Intensive
How to Start and Scale an AirBnB Business (without much money) with MeiLani Hock
MeiLani Hock started her short-term rental business using OTHER PEOPLE’S PROPERTIES and has built that into a full-time income in just a few short years. If you’d love to get into the short-term rental market, but don’t have the big bucks it takes to buy great properties, you’ll love this intense training on how to find, evaluate, control, and run short-term rentals that you don’t even own.

MEET JULIE NELSON
CREIANC MEMBER OF THE MONTH
MAY 2022
CREIANC would like to congratulate Julie Nelson – she is our Member of the Month for May 2022!
Please find a message from Julie…
I was fortunate to have discovered CREIA over 25 years ago. At that time, I had just purchased my first personal residence in Mars Hill and shortly thereafter, my first single family rental.
With the help of the CREIA basics course, numerous weekend workshops, books and tapes from CREIA’s lending library, monthly meetings and networking with other members, I learned how to become a successful landlord.
I read everything I could get my hands on and attended as many meetings as I could. While studying short sales, I taught myself how to do title searches and eventually purchased several homes on the courthouse steps. These were homes that I had never seen the inside of before I purchased them, and I was the only woman bidding for properties on the steps at the time.
I bought and sold (flipped) several homes but my long-term strategy was buy and hold. With the exception of a 10-year period, I did all of this while working a full time job.
Seven years ago, I learned about vacation rentals and currently have two. As challenging as it can be at times and as time consuming as it is, I really enjoy this aspect of investing and personally find it very rewarding. I learned during the COVID shut down how important it is to diversify your real estate holdings. It was quite derailing to suddenly lose a large portion of my income overnight, but at least it wasn’t my entire rental income.
In October 2020, I was able to realize my dream of financial independence and leave my full-time job permanently. I doubt I would have ever achieved this goal without all the educational benefits my CREIA membership provided. I want to thank CREIA and all its members over the years for their willingness to share information and provide support and encouragement.
My advice to anyone just starting out is if I could do it, so can you! Real Estate is not a get rich quick scheme, slow and steady wins the race. If you don’t own your own home yet, start there. Be willing to get your hands dirty and venture outside of your comfort zone. Keep showing up to meetings, take advantage of seminars, subgroups, and of the incredible wealth of knowledge the experienced investors in this group are willing to share.
Congratulations again Julie on all your accomplishments and achieving financial independence. We are glad you are a part of the CREIANC community!
