Picture this . . . it’s your first-ever real estate investing event . . . there are a bunch of people there.
You are gathering business cards and taking notes. You are trying to absorb all these new ideas coming at you like water from a firehose. Great so far, RIGHT?
You learn about BRRRR, Airbnb, ROI, Cash Flow, and more. You learn about all kinds of ways to fund a deal, including private lending. You meet great people. Shortly after the event, over coffee with one of your new connections, you come up with a plan. While you are busy learning how to invest, you can put your life savings to work, right away as private money in this other guy's deal. You both hear the speakers at the event talk about Private Money, you read a few articles on Bigger Pockets, you watched a few videos . . . so what else do you need?
A whole heck of a lot actually. To help you figure out what else you need, we have invited a guest panel of experts who lend money every day. They are joining us to impart some of their knowledge and to provide you with resources so the above scenario is a profitable one for you rather than a lesson on how to get blood out of a turnip. And if you are not quite ready to be a lender, be sure to get the low down on being a good borrower.

Reserve Your Seat - www.MAREI.org Take note of the member's only virtual meeting two days later on the 13th - we sit down with local Attorney Rick Davis for an attorney's legal perspective on the paperwork and the processes. (It pays to be a member of MAREI - 1 hour with an attorney vs $99 annual membership fee - just saying)
