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 to find, and what work 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).
It’s taught by Vena Jones-Cox (a 25 year veteran of the wholesale game), it’s awesome, and it’s been the launching pad for a LOT of successful wholesaling careers over the years.
We’ve negotiated a $50 discount for our members—it’s just $47 for members, $97 for non-members with a 100% money-back satisfaction guarantee. Click HERE for the agenda and to register.
June 15th, Main Monthly Virtual Meeting
Investing in Self-Storage Units with Scott Meyers
WHY SELF STORAGE IS CRUSHING IT DURING THE PANDEMIC!
As you know, there are many different ways to invest in real estate. This month’s program is about something a little different. Join us to hear Scott Meyers talk about storage units.
Self-storage facilities are the hottest sector of the real estate market that you’ve never thought about. The market has doubled in the past decade, and is expected to double again in the next 10-12 years. Best of all, it provides that passive cash flow we all want, without the drama and cost that comes with residential tenants. If you want to know more—lots more—join self-storage “guru” Scott Meyers as he shares:
- Why self-storage units have, so far, proven to be practically recession-proof
- The market forces that have made it the best-performing class of commercial property in the United States over the past 25 years
- Which government loans let you buy for $0 down (this will surprise you - it’s not an agency real estate investor usually tap)
- Where to find the real cash cows
- How to evaluate them—it’s very different than residential real estate…
- How build your own new units with no money out of pocket
- And for the wholesalers: how to find and flip these facilities for profits up to $100,000!
If you’ve been looking for an investment that gives you tons of passive income, can be operated remotely, and is accessible to even new investors, join us for this program!

In 1988 he resigned from his position to pursue his lifelong passion and hobby in real estate investing.

Haves, Needs and Wants: Peer-to-Peer Exchange Meetings
One of the biggest benefits of belonging to our community is the ability to find out what other members have in terms of deals, money, buying ability, knowledge and what they want to help build relationships with other investors.
And now we have brought this members-only benefit online as a joint venture in combination with members of CREIANC and UCREIA. Bi-monthly sessions meet each 1st and 3rd Wednesday at 9:00 AM. This is a virtual Zoom meeting where you can offer deals, tell people what deals you want, ask for what you need, and say what you have.
More importantly, it does not need to be real estate. It may be a skill you have such as web design traded for an experienced investor to hold your hand through your subject to real estate deal from beginning to end.
The idea is to "Use what you HAVE to Get what you NEED to Get what you WANT", said by the Great Negotiator/Deal Maker Pete Fortunato.
So, mark your calendars and come to the meetings. Bring your wholesale deals or any "haves and wants, to buy, sell, or trade. More people, more offerings of properties, goods, services, skills, etc., so more deals to be made! Vigorous and flourishing, this is fast becoming a must attend local event. And, you never know who will attend or what will be exchanged to mutually enrich our lives.
Bring your success story (big or small) to share with us so we can celebrate with you. Go to creianc.org/calendar.aspx to preregister.
Save the dates! See you online, CREIA Success Team!
