We just added Theresa Knower from Midland IRA to talk about Self-Direct IRAs. If you have money sitting in an old 401k or IRA and want more control of your retirement plan, come learn how to do it and invest in stocks, precious metals and of course real estate!

Interested in flipping homes? We just added Josh Inglis and Frank Montro to the Summit. Josh has flipped over 100 homes and Frank is one of the most respected and successful brokers in Chicago.

I'm definitely curious to hear there take on the market and how much longer they think it will be ripe for flipping homes, especially with rising interest rates.

10 Pre-sale tickets left before prices go up! Don't miss out on the ultimate REI event in Chicago! We have added a new speaker too and will have him listed on the site soon.
Jorge P. Newbery is on a mission to help Americans crushed by unaffordable debts.
Jorge P. Newbery is Founder and CEO of American Homeowner Preservation LLC, which utilizes Regulation A+ to crowdfund the purchase of nonperforming mortgages from lenders at big discounts, then shares the discounts with struggling homeowners. A 2004 natural disaster triggered the financial collapse of Newbery's former business, leaving him with $26 million in debts he could not pay. Newbery rebuilt himself through AHP, sharing what he learned from his challenges to help families at risk of foreclosure stay in their homes.
He authored Burn Zones: Playing Life's Bad Hands, in which he chronicled his financial rise and fall; Debt Cleanse: How To Settle Your Unaffordable Debts For Pennies On The Dollar (And Not Pay Some At All) to help families resolve their unaffordable debt; and Stories of the Indebted sharing the struggles of everyday Americans overburdened by debt. He speaks regularly on debt, housing, and finance.

Working on questions for the conference. What specifically would you want to know more about in terms of finding deals, analyzing deals, multifamily, syndication, flipping, and other strategies? Looking to go deeper than the strategies you can find on the message boards and get some of the speakers to share some of their secrets of success.

@Brie Schmidt, you said this was a "This is a no-pitch, no ******** event" so I'm excited about telling the truth on what it takes to find deals in the current market. So much misinformation out there.... and most just MAKING STUFF UP.
We're going to keep this real world and sustainable.
I'm also looking forward to meeting back up with @Dave Van Horn and @Bill Exeter. (and Brie of course....always informative, inspirational and just FUN :-) I've always wanted to meet @Joe Fairless...I'm a fan.
And if there is anything I'm looking to learn, I'd like to fully understand short term rentals, AirBnB and other platforms. So looking forward to meeting @Syed Lateef
(I also like @J. Martin's model. Maybe we'll see his flip flopping self and hear that ukulele....)

I think Mr Flip Flop @J. Martin is going to be coming, did you book your flights yet J?
We don't have Napa close enough to do a day trip but we do have an awesome river cruise and will defiantly be partaking in some Chicago activities that require adult beverages.
