This is a meetup for women by women dedicated to helping each other flourish in real estate investing. We meet monthly to encourage, educate, and motivate each other. This month we have Alina Trigub teaching us about how to passively invest in real estate while preserving wealth, reaping the tax benefits of being a property owner and receive residual income from it. 

"Alina is the founder and the Managing Partner of SAMO Financial. It’s a boutique private equity firm specializing in helping a select group of people with various wealth preservation and tax strategies. Alina welcomes warm introductions of investors that are looking (1) for help to manage their wealth and (2) to find ways to save on taxes legally.

Alina's business motto has been articulated well by Warren Buffett's indicating that,

"Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago".

Alina is the founder of two Meetup groups named, “The Power of Passive Investing through Real Estate”, which gather in NY and NJ. Alina also hosts a virtual meetup by the same title for women.

In addition, Alina offers educational webinars in collaboration with various administrators of self-directed IRA companies. Topics revolve around aspects of getting started investing in syndications by using funds in solo 401k or self-directed retirement plans.

Alina has helped her clients to acquire and invest in:

over 1187 apartment doors

over 500 storage units

over 5MM fund focused on mobile home parks"

Thanks so much for all the input.  Working on the heloc and all the ideas.  

Kyle, These are great questions.  Some I know and others I think about after and some more I didn't think about.  I will not be deterred.  Will keep calling lenders until I find the product I need thanks!!!

I want to have accessible cash for various things at the quick.  I don't want to take out cash until I am needing it since it may be awhile.  And I want to pay it off as soon as I can rather than spread it out over months/years.  Moreover any money I take out is not taxable.  

Are you a woman and want to learn or start investing in Real Estate? Have you been outnumbered in other real estate groups by men? This group is about bringing women together to discuss, educate, invest and socialize with other women and it is all about Real Estate Investing. You can be a veteran or a seasoned investor. This group is about helping other women succeed and connecting and doing business with other women who are interested in Real Estate. Don't be worried that you know nothing. You will learn. Don't be worried if you know a lot. You can guide us. Lets connect and help each other. And lets have fun doing it!  Different speaker every meeting.  

NOV 14th meeting is meeting a week earlier due to Thanksgiving conflict.  This meeting we will hear Brittany Pickell speak from The Next Generation Trust Company talk about How to Boost your Retirement Wealth through Tax Advantaged Real Estate Investments.  

I have an investment property that currently does not have any mortgage. I would like to open a line of credit on this property but the first 1/2 dozen places I have called, have done mortgages with these banks in the past, say that they will not give a HELOC on an investment property. Any advice? Is it not possible to get a HELOC on an investment property? I was listening to a podcast from BP recently, might have been an old podcast not sure, and the strategy the investor used for investing was taking out HELOCs on his properties once the mortgage was paid off. Hard to believe that his strategy is based on something impossible.

Welcome!  I have a women only Investment group that is about connecting, learning and inspiring.  Check out the link.  Love to have your wife join us!  https://www.meetup.com/Women-Who-Want-to-Be-In-Rea...
