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.

This class comes with one free CE credit.

This class is for landlords and their Realtors that want to accelerate their wealth accumulation. Ideally you would have been to the basic rental economics class once or twice and have used the spreadsheet BEFORE you come to this class. I’ll assume everyone in the groups has the basics down. We’re going to focus on four things:

1. How to model how a strategic refinance impact boosts your ROI, and how you can easily model this in the rental econ spreadsheet.We’ll also discuss how to explain to your client.
2. How to model “equity capture” and how it drives ROI. This is an unusually powerful way to drive wealth building and seems to be poorly understood in the investor community. If the group has interest we can review how to discuss / explain to clients.
3. If the group has interest, we can discuss 1031 exchanges in more depth and specific tactics for using a 1031x to “force out” off market deals. It’s about price and terms, and if you can offer great terms, you usually win on price. We can cover a case study of this if there is interest.
4. In depth questions from group that we wouldn’t normally have time to cover in an intro class.

The term 1031 Exchange is defined under section 1031 of the IRS Code. To put it simply, this strategy allows an investor to “defer” paying capital gains taxes on an investment property when it is sold, as long another “like-kind property” is purchased with the profit gained by the sale of the first property.
