This class explores the underlying factors during house price dips and compares them to our current market conditions.

One of the top questions of house buyers concerns prices, and when they may drop. "Should I wait to buy until prices drop?" In this class, Lonnie Glessner examines this issue in detail.

I bet you are getting these questions and comments too. Metro Denver real estate prices have dropped twice since 1970 and we will take a deep look at the underlying factors that caused Denver home prices to drop and then compare them to today’s market. Here is what you will learn—

- The #1 metric to track for the health of a housing market
- How this metric has impacted Denver housing prices in the past.
- How new home construction has impacted our market and how new home construction is impacting our market today and into the future.
- The demand and supply trends we need to follow
- What could cause Denver home prices to drop?

Build a large portfolio and generate passive income.

One of the most common goals of a property investor is to build a large portfolio and generate passive income for retirement. While we hear this goal a lot, very few investors actually achieve this goal, and many end up never even buying their first property. This presentation will show you 4 different ways to acquire properties and give you a step-by-step business plan that you can use to purchase and build your portfolio. We’ll walk you through this business plan to show you how to start from scratch and build up a portfolio of 10 properties so you can retire.

WHY: Carl Carter's mom, Realtor® Beverly Carter, lost her life at the hands of two clients in 2014. Since his mother's passing, Carl has dedicated as much time as possible to spread the message of safety. His story and presentation is an impactful combination of harrowing details involving his mother’s story and practical industry anecdotes and takeaways. The statistics show that about 20 real estate agents lose their lives in the course of their work annually. That is 20 too many! The very nature of the business, lone-workers with ample training and tools to self & service-promote, can easily foster business practices of false pretenses and vulnerabilities. We all have a responsibility to raise awareness and build cultures of preparedness.

As part of the safety presentation from our C.O.B.R.A. Safety Instructor, you will also learn real estate-specific self-defense strategies. Who will be there for you? You will. Learn how to protect yourself. You’re meeting a person – generally alone and mostly in an empty property. You may be all over the web and social media, allowing anyone to profile your potential assets, looks, work patterns, etc. This is known as “crime by appointment.” Do you look like a soft target or a hard target in the eyes of a criminal? Learn how to avoid dangerous situations before they even start.
