Clients always ask “how’s the market?” This class gives you specific talking points to sound like an expert. We also discuss how you can use the information for listing presentations, and for buyers that aren’t sure if “now is the time to trade up” or if they should wait until later. The goal is to present the information in a format so you can put it to use immediately – and close more deals. We’ll spend some time at the end on “where is the marketing going?” so you can discuss that as well.

We meet with investors and start-up real estate agents who frequently have the goal of “owning 10 rental properties” or “building passive wealth through real-estate.” These are terrific goals and we have helped many investors reach these goals, but most people we meet with don’t know where or how to start towards these goals. This class will show you multiple ways to buy your first investment property and get started on the path to real estate wealth. We’ll show you real-world properties that were recently closed and give all of the details of how the property was found, how it was financed and what sort of returns are being made on each property. This is a great class for the first-time real estate investor or a great refresher for seasoned investors to learn how to use some alternative strategies to acquire more properties.
