Veterans Financial Freedom Workshop

Join us for an in-person workshop at the Grand Ritz Theatre in Escondido, CA. This exclusive event is only for military, veterans and first responders who are interested in building Financial Freedom. If that's you then come on out!

We're focusing on the action we've taken to build financial freedom quickly. We've already given you the knowledge, introduced you to the network, and now it's your turn to take the action! With our blueprint, support, and empowerment, you'll be on your way to financial freedom before you leave this event!

Our workshop series rotates on a 3 event cycle: Knowledge, Network, Action. This is the final event in our series and we look forward to sharing with you the step you need to take to put your plan in place and start working toward financial freedom alongside so many VFF members.

If you missed our first two events in the series, you can catch up by joining our FREE community: https://veteransforfinancialfreedom.org/join/

for Financial Freedom (VFF)

Veterans for Financial Freedom hosts masterclasses and in-person events to train the veterans, first responders, and families on everything they need to achieve their definition of financial freedom. We empower our members with the knowledge, network, and action they need to accomplish all of their financial goals.

Some of our Strategies Include:

Income Streams with no startup costs| Buy and Hold real estate purchases | VA Loans | House-Hacking | Short Term Rentals | Syndications | Multi-family investing | Creative Financing

Update! We expected this to appraise for $185-190,000, it appraised for $218,000! Unreal!

We are still buying and rehabbing in Clarksville! And we funded using a local private money lender. 

Investment Info:

Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

Purchase price: $45,000
Cash invested: $11,000

This is a BRRRR deal we are renovating and will hold. We are all in for $110,000 and it should easily appraise for $185,000+ when we refinance. We'll pull cash out and do two more BRRRR deals.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

The area- its appreciating significantly

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Wholesaler friend - he brought it to us first and we didn't even really need to negotiate

How did you finance this deal?

Hard money - 100% financed purchase and reno

How did you add value to the deal?

We redid the ENTIRE house

What was the outcome?

A solid BRRRR with $40,000 in equity and $43,000 put back in our pockets for the next deal.

Lessons learned? Challenges?

This honestly was the smoothest investment yet. Having a great team was paramount to our success.

We created this FREE event to build a community of like-minded people, motivated to crush it in real estate. We collaborate over beers, share knowledge, and network with those on a similar path, while expanding our knowledge base together. Not stuffy, zero sales pitch, and good vibes only. The social portion of the event starts at 5:30, and our speaker will begin his presentation around 6 pm. I hope you’ll join us at Flytes!

We're so excited for our speaker!

I’m Anthony Warren, owner of Integrity House Buyers located in Clarksville, TN. I am an Active duty Army veteran of 14.5 years. I started my real estate journey in 2014 working at a large investment firm in Dallas, Texas and started my own journey into investing in 2018 when I purchased a duplex in Springfield, MO that I house hacked. In 2020 I started my company primarily wholesaling off market properties. In 2021 I began to hold and build a portfolio of rental properties and in 2022 my company did 25 deals of which 4 were flips, 3 doors were added to the portfolio and the rest were wholesale deals. Outside of real estate I love the outdoors and traveling out West to see the mountains.

Join industry experts and likeminded investors for for a two day event including workshops, networking, panels, a cocktail hour and so much more- it’ll be fun and we’ll provide so much value that will help you take your investing to the next level.
