Overview
There are many ways to invest in real estate. These "types" are often referred to as niches. Some are popular such as flipping, while others are less so. At this meeting we will be discussing a less frequently discussed niche that allows you to financially help others, while also profiting yourself.

Main Meeting
This month's topic will be about using real estate to find money for those who have recently fallen upon hard times. You basically get them money that they're entitled to and earn yourself a fee for doing so.
It has nothing to do with affiliate marketing, getting someone to apply for a loan or other product, network marketing (MLM), or selling them anything. You're genuinely helping them to obtain money that belongs to them that they were typically unaware of.
This niche is an inexpensive one to get into if you're just starting out and one that has the potential to make a nice income for yourself without putting in an overabundance of time. Sounds good, huh? Well, at the meeting we'll discuss both the concept, as well as reality. In other words, we'll discuss both the pros and cons.
There are a number of training courses out there for sale charging approximately $600-$1500 for this information. While we won't be able to cover in less than an hour everything in one of those "courses" or "programs", you will leave with enough information to know if this is something you'd be interested in pursuing. You won't be simply "sold" on a bunch of promises. Instead you'll be told about the good and the bad; the potential as well as some of the more common obstacles. That's life. There's always some combination of ups and downs.
Networking
At about 6:40 we'll go around the room and introduce ourselves. This is a chance to get to know some of the people in the room and can help you to identify who you might want to seek out and speak with later on in the evening.
Location
The meeting will take place at the Red Bank Public Library, located at 84 West Front Street, Red Bank, NJ 07001. You can park in the lot to the left of the building or on the street. Meters are only in service until 6PM.
There is no admission fee for this meeting. We still however ask that you please RSVP by sending me a private message or indicating below if you plan to attend, so that we can make sure to have an appropriate number of seats and if applicable other materials available (e.g. handouts).
