    I cannot wait to hear @Jorge Newbery talk about his story!   Everyone thinks real estate investing is sunshine and rainbows and buy and hold is a passive way to build wealth.  So to hear a story of losing $26 million in real estate and not letting it bring you down is going to be inspiring

    how to analyze deals is the foundation of investing!  What to use for vacancy, repair, capex, ect.  We have experienced investors @Rosario Terracciano and @Ben Walhood and @Brie Schmidt talking about it at the Midwest Real Estate Networking Summit May 11&12 at UIC in Chicago - The event content is built around you so make sure you ask post your questions and topics on the website HERE before the event so they can tailor their discussion to what you want to learn!

    This event was awesome. Great set of panel speakers providing a lot of insight into different methods of investing. Lots of opportunities to network as well. I will attend this event again next year. Totally worth it.

    After taking an extensive class on rehabbing and rental investing, I thought there's really nothing new I can get from Midwest Real Estate Networking Summit. My biggest take home from this summit is the Investor Psychology topic by Meghan McCallum and John Casmon. I wish I have attended the other 60% of the events...I will next year!

    @Brie Schmidt and @John Casmon great job putting this weekend's event together! Also great thanks to the assistants and all the speakers and sponsors. By far the best networking/conference of any sort I've been to. Looking forward to attending more events across the country and hope to be back next year!

    Fun fact: I met @Meghan McCallum, and she told me I was the first person to show up to the event, LOL.

    Also props to the charity fundraising on Friday night - I myself have been chronically homeless with my Mother throughout my life so it really hit home to see people supporting Facing Forward.

    Was also nice to meet the people whom I did - will be doing follow ups soon.

    Big thanks from Genuine Homes in Northern New York!  This was our first summit, and we are extremely happy we made the trip out.   It was run very professionally, and the networking was top notch.  Thanks again to the crew who put it together, and all of the speakers for donating their time to helping us build better businesses.

    Cant wait for next year!

    Huge thanks to @John Casmon and @Brie Schmidt for setting up and making MRENS a success. It was refreshing to attend a conference that focuses on learning in lieu of pitching. I hope this becomes an annual tradition.
